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.
