The Irish Tradition

Our brewery is committed to making "old-world" ales - rich in flavour, made with only the cleanest ingredients, and made with time, and love.

In addition to creating all our recipes, Brian creates all the artwork for the brewery in original Celtic designs.

What motivates us? Personally, I live by what I refer to as a cultural agenda. This means I make choices according to my identity. My people are primarily Gaels: Irish, some Scot and other cultures to make the gene pool strong and diverse. The Gaelic culture is paramount to my identity. To this end, I try to get back to Ireland every couple of years. I almost decided to move there permanently! I've gained a working knowledge of the Irish language. have taught conversational Irish in Canada, and have been working in Celtic art for most of my life. I've worked on political and cultural groups and in the Irish community for most of my adult life, both here in Canada and in the north of Ireland. The brewery benefits from this as the styles of ales that Gaels enjoy are what I like to brew.

The grúdlann (brewery) is old world (no push button computer driven factory) and the building and surrounding structures are adorned with my original Celtic art. When you come to visit us, hopefully you'll be inspired.
