Magnotta Brewery is on the cutting edge of craft brewing in Ontario and we know consumers are on the hunt for beer brands that are fresh, innovative and reflective of vibrant, extraordinary communities. Our acquisition of GRB allows us to further address the needs of our customers and showcase the greatness of the Galt community in new and ingenious ways, while still offering customers their favourite GRB products.
