THE ORIGINAL ESTATE BREWERY
THE FARMERY WAY OF LIFE
At the heart of Farmery Estate Brewery is the family farm in Neepawa, Manitoba where we grow the barley & hops that we use for what we produce. Growing our own crops for production is how we keep our environmental footprint low, and how we keep our supply chain local & create jobs in our local economy.
Spring, 1998
This is where the story begins. With the family farm going bankrupt, Chris & Lawrence open Lux Solé on Osborne St.
With the money they made from Lux Solé, they bought back their family farm.
February, 2008
Ten years after opening Lux Solé, Chris & Lawrence moved 2 doors down and opened Winnipeg's first gastropub, Luxaulune, which focused on carrying craft beers from around the world.
2009-2011
Looking to import different beers from the United States, Chris & Lawrence get the idea for Farmery Estate Brewery while at a craft beer tour in Wisconsin. They start growing barley and establishing a hopyard on the family farm soon after.
