So It Begins...
On February 6, 2012, after many months of renovations, we fired up our main brewing system and officially started production at 124 Ossington Ave. Needless to say it was a very exciting week. The next 4-6 weeks will be devoted to testing recipes and building up stock before our opening, which we anticipate will be sometime in mid March. Stay tuned for more info.

Renovations
October 2011 Renovations are moving along well. We’re currently in a race to prepare the floors and building systems for the arrival of our first shipment of cellar tanks in late November.
