The day has finally arrived – work begins on the new Falcon Brewery!

Like so many small ontario craft breweries before us , we are looking at a shell of what will turn into a vibrant brewery with tap room – the bird has a nest! Work has been completed on clearing all the existing walls and flooring. Brick wall installed in the back, floors grinded down……..now just waiting for the brewhouse to arrive soon and installation will begin! If all goes well a late fall opening will be in our future. In the meantime the 2 great Falcon beers -Laggar and Red continue to do well and we are excited to be getting into Loblaws starting this fall. Grocery will continue to play a big part of craft beer distribution in the next 4 years as we go from 60 stores to 450 in 2019. In that time market share of craft premium beer is expected to double from its current 5% position. Coming off a great 2015 where we saw premium craft beer up almost 30% and new breweries opening up almost weekly, the prospects for the industry are indeed bright!
