Crannóg Ales

Think beer with a healthy shot of wisdom, Brian MacIsaac and Rebecca Kneen started Crannóg Ales on their farm in Sorrento in 2000. Guided by their principles of quality, environmental stewardship, social responsibility and integrity, Crannóg Ales was Canada’s very first Certified Organic farmhouse microbrewery, one of few around the world. Their selection of local and seasonal specialty beers are brewed from the hops grown on their farm and the water from the spring fed well on their land.

The spent grains are returned to the farm, to feed the animals or create compost. Their garden feeds their friends, family and community. Their commitment to a zero emission, ecological production management system improves the biodiversity and protects the health of the very soil and water that bring the world Crannóg’s legendary ales.

Like the name of the brewery itself, Crannóg is deeply rooted in the traditions of Irish storytelling, art, community building and self sufficiency and that wisdom cannot help but makes its way into a very fine ale indeed.
