Good morning☕️

Roasted freshly each week by .brew these beans were aged in John Sleeman & Sons Whisky barrels. Our Traditional Straight Whisky (bourbon recipe) and Single Malt barrels and their perfectly paired beans are a match made in heaven. Get your hands on them before they’re all gone! You can buy them through us at the distillery or the Street Brew online shop.

What is spent grain, and where does it go?

Spent grain is the remaining grain after the distilling process removes the alcohol from a fermented mash. 

We keep the alcohol, but we also hold onto the used-up grain. The grain is given to Ontario farmers to feed their livestock. It’s the largest byproduct of brewing and distilling, and it’s highly nutritious – for cattle, that is. 

Btw, don’t forget to check out our Black Friday offers!!

For our staff party this year we wanted to do a little tour of our neighborhood📍

We started with an educational tour at Escarpment Laboratories🥽🧪
They showed us how they make yeast for brewing, the R&D lab, and taught us about the work they’re doing to reduce environmental impact while supporting and improving Canada’s beer scene.
Then, we went next door to Bev’s for some delicious cocktails. We couldn’t settle on a favourite drink, so you’ll just have to try them all.
We finished it all off with a friendly tournament of axe throwing at Riot Axe! Congrats Quinn on the win🪓🪵

Thanks to Shelley, Richard, and the team at Escarpment, Jenna at Bev’s, and Christina and the crew at Riot Axe for entertaining our group!
