The brewery is our second family. Which is why it makes so much sense that we included most of our first family and friends in it – otherwise things would get confusing! We started Beau’s with a mandate to be a very unique and integral part of Eastern Ontario.

To do this it was important first and foremost to create unique and wonderful beer. Our decisions to focus on quality, organic beer are really at the heart of what we are known for.

Over a short time we have been humbled by winning a slew of awards from certified beer competitions, popular-vote competitions and excellence in business practice awards. We have garnered the attention of international beer writers and local bloggers.

But that wasn’t enough to truly stand out. We have embraced sustainability and strive to become environmental stewards. We take great pride in our community and give back with an impressive track record for supporting charitable works, community building, human rights and indie arts.

We try our best to have a real relationship with the people who buy our beer. Our brewery is open for tours 7 days/week and when we have downtime, we’re quite often hanging out in the retail store or visiting a restaurant and chatting to customers at the bar.

We actively search out the best that other craft breweries have to offer and we are tireless supporters of the craft brewing renaissance. We trade for beer with customers. When our employees go on a trip, we send them out with beer to bring other breweries and a wish list of beer to bring back. Every trip to anywhere starts with a search for the local breweries en route. We are fans of good beer as much as we are brewers of good beer.

We’re fiercely independent. Our beer and our brewery is a labour of love from start to finish. There were no deep pockets behind us when we launched and there aren’t any now either. Our success is derived from hard work, unbridled passion and the support from customers who appreciate these qualities and a well made beer.

While we take great care in making the best beer possible, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We go out of our way to take any pretense out of our beer. We believe in rustic, natural quality over fancy-pants snobbery. Our marketing and branding efforts try to reinforce this and we choose to market by talking to folks instead of blaring messages through mass-market advertising.

In short, we’re a local, family-run, award winning, organic and totally DIY brewery.
