Booze Brothers Brewing Co.

Dave and Donny Firth started brewing beer with a microbrew kit. While these kits satisfy most home-brewers, The Firth Brothers quickly decided they just weren’t making enough beer. They had mouths to feed — their families, friend’s, friends of friend’s, friends of friends of friend’s, the occasional enemy’s, and their own — and so they had to go bigger. The Brothers saw no other option. After spending thousands of dollars, their garage became a brewing frontier. That’s how Booze Brothers Brewing Company was started

Common Cider Company

They don’t brew ciders, they craft moments. If it has anything to do with bringing people together, sparking conversation, bolstering friendships, and creating memories, it has everything to do with their approach to cider.  As founder of Common Cider, Fran Toves was inspired into the cider realm by a simple desire: to utilize her foodies’ passion for flavour experimentation and her love of shared times to create something rare and delicious. Thus, Common Cider was born. In Fran’s world, the flavour is everything. Surprising flavour, adventurous flavour, flavour as a gift to one’s family and friends. Flavour profiles that lean more towards wine than beer. Light, crisp, a sweetness hinted but never overstated.
