Our Story
Brewery and the beast is a one-of-a-kind culinary event that brings together an extraordinary line-up of chefs and beverage makers who deliver a feast of fire-kissed meats, craft beers, cocktails, ciders, wines, hard seltzers and premium non-alcoholic libations. Savour dishes made with the finest local and sustainable proteins created by chefs who take great pride in sourcing the very best ingredients our region offers.
Brewery & the Beast is committed to our meat standard, and we proudly showcase proteins that are grown with integrity and transparency. All proteins featured in the chefs dishes are sourced from Canadian Farmers and Ranchers that raise their animals responsibly and ethically. Visit our Farms page for more information.
Brewery & the Beast creates a playful and educational environment where festival-goers can learn about local proteins and produce, enjoy quality food and drink, and participate in a dynamic environment that supports local businesses.
Our goal each year, and at each location, is to deliver a premium hospitality experience that showcases talent, creativity, team building, and economic growth within the food and beverage industry, and the community that empowers them.
At the heart of our festival is community. Since 2012, Brewery & the Beast has been proudly uniting consumers, chefs, farmers, and businesses through common values and sustainable ideas, taking pleasure in gathering the best of what a city has and celebrating those offerings together.
