Meet the Growers
Behind every BrewON beer are the local hop growers of the Ontario Hop Growers Association. Hops, once a thriving crop in Ontario, are making a comeback thanks to to the expertise and hands-on labour of our hard-working growers. Ontario hop growers provide an economic boost to Ontario as they continue to invest in expanding their hopyards and processing equipment in order to meet rising demand for quality Ontario hops. When you enjoy a BrewON craft beer, you can feel confident about the source and the freshness of the hops in your beer. Hops that haven’t travelled thousands of kilometres to get here. Hops grown by real people with real families. Find out more about some of the growers supplying the BrewON brewers. Craft beer starts here.
