The drive in or saunter from the nearest subway station (Lawrence West Station) has you walking into the heart of an industrial wasteland. The surrounding area is peppered with warehouses. But a huge bright red bell set on a large white building is there to greet you at the finish line. When you think about where to find a great brew, most people don’t head down to the train tracks. In this case, that is exactly where you need to go.

Once you arrive, the hard work is officially over. Big, bright and shiny tanks and a brand-spanking-new mill where we crack the endosperm of the malt to gain access to invaluable convertible sugars for our brews are there to greet you. We also have our very own Koelschip, an open fermentation vessel that is used for the cooling of wort and the production of spontaneously fermented beers. The plan is to allow our first spontaneously fermented brew to oak age for three years with the hopes of blending with younger batches down the line, all the while staying true to the practices of admirable Lambic and Gueuze producers like Cantillon and Drie Fonteinen. Our office space is set in an old school silver Airstream trailer, and there are barrels upon barrels stacked high, often stretching to the farthest vantage point of the space. Once upon a time these barrels housed wine, rum, tequila, cognac, etc. The list goes on with only a few people knowing what is planned for their future.

The barrel stacks are visually captivating and showcase beer in varying cycles of maturation. These beers are unique styles with a mysterious concoction of yeasts and bacterias suspended in the interplay of biology and history reunited to create often unrepeatable beers. Many of our reserve styles are sold in a limited supply series as a result. This is because some of our beers are a mix of ales that have been oak-aged for varying periods or years of time before they are blended together to achieve the desired result. There are giant foeders from far away places and of course, our white picket fence. This is a nod to our Ossington home and to the community that built us and sustains us to this day.
