A Note from Chris 5 Years?! Some day’s it feels like I’ve been working with the brewery my whole life, other days it feels like we’re only a year or two old. Well this weekend we celebrated our 5th Birthday at our Riverside Brewery and Brew Pub during the #Alwaystimetoplay festival. I think both of…

A Note from Chris A Month of Awards April was a great month for celebrating the Ottawa Valley. On Saturday April 28th it was the 2018 Upper Ottawa Valley Chamber of Commerce Gala & Awards. Last year, WBC won “Large Business of the Year” and it was a complete shock that we’re very proud of.…

A Note from the Chris’ World Domination OK well not quite, but we have begun to expand outside of the province which is pretty cool. In February I flew to British Columbia with our Sales Manager, Blake Mahoney and over the course of the next 2 weeks were joined by our whole management team. The…

A Note from the Chris’ Giving Back Giving back was one of the key motivations that James, Chris and I had when wanting to start a business. We wanted to build a business that while hopefully turning a profit, would provide us with means to also give back to the community and the country that…

A Note From the Chris’ On the Twelfth Beer of Christmas It’s the time of year where for some, it’s the quiet before the storm. That peaceful gap between Thanksgiving and Christmas where we get leaves raked, boats put in storage and houses fully winterised. Well, that’s what it’s like for some. For our brewers,…

A Note from the Chris’ Two Families, One Delicious Brew Mireille & Head Brewer Sean at Houblonnierre Lupuline We’ve been talking about hops a lot recently. Some would say too much. However, it’s harvest season and we are in the beer business after all. About nine months before we opened the business, a good friend…
