Hike then Pints with HBBCo. Once a month, we'll head out on a local trail to explore and enjoy our beautiful area. After the hike, we'll go back to the brewery for pints (and other refreshments). This is a family-friendly activity - we'll have refreshments and activities for them. The fun starts Sunday, February 5 around 1pm. FYI - we need to know who to tell where to meet, so email us to register.
We've Got Game...Night. We like old school games, so we're willing to stay open late once a month to encourage others to play them too. Mille Bornes, Scrabble, Crokinole - play one of our favourites or bring your own. Starts Friday, February 10 between 6-8pm. Registration appreciated.
Craft + Beer Night. Join fellow crafters for enjoyable brews and creativity. Craft + Beer usually takes place on the last Thursday of the month. We've got lots of cool crafts planned, plus excellent company! Next one is Thursday, February 23, 5-8pm. Registration required. Fee TBD and includes all the supplies and one 12oz draught pour.
Paint Tonight with Laura Stevens. Let Laura teach you to get started and be confident in your creativity. This intimate workshop provides you with the skills to really explore painting. Instruction, supplies, 20oz draught beer, and light refreshments are included in the cost ($100 + tax). Saturday, February 25 5:30-8:00pm. *Please note, the taproom will be closing at 5pm this day*

HBBCo. would like to respectfully acknowledge that the sacred land on which we gather, and of which many of our ingredients are grown, is the traditional territory of many nations, including the Omàmiwininiwak territory of the Anishinaabeg, and the Kanien:keha’ka territory of the Hodinohso:ni, and remains the home of many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We respect both the land and the people of this land, including all Indigenous People who have walked in this place.
HBBCo. is committed to maintaining a welcoming and safe environment for all people, regardless of age, race, national or ethnic origin, disability, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity and expression.
