You can expect to find at least 3 unique beers from your freindly Ontario Craft Brewers from what I've heard. We're working hard at Great Lakes to get our newest beer into the system in time for an early ...

Great Ideas

These are some great ideas so far - unfortunately I think we'd have to be a brewpub to attempt a few of these styles!

Design-A-Beer

Hi folks, We're at it again here at Great Lakes, working on a new beer for a spring release. We've got a few styles under consideration, but are hoping for some suggestions from you - yes you!

It should be totally revamped and much more user friendly and detailed as soon as they've got that sorted out. The OCB is still very much active and working with the LCBO and TBS an...

Update

We're working on a bottled product as I write this...if all goes well, it could be on LCBO shelves in a limited release in time for Halloween. You can check our new website just launched today (greatlakesbeer.com) to find out where it's on tap right now in the meantime. We'll also have a keg on tap ...

On Tap!

Good news! Devil's Pale Ale will be on tap at both BeerBistro and Café Volo in the next few days...we've only got a limited batch available, but if the response continues to be so positive, we'll take a serious look at adding it to our lineup full-time. Cheers!

Devil's Pale Ale Update

Glad to hear some of you had the chance to try our new brew! As Greg mentioned, we're hoping to get it on tap at a few places around town, and we're tossing around the idea of a limited bottling run. Our website is in the process of being totally renovated, so we hope to provide some updates on ther...
