Craft Beer Breweries Lindsay Brewing Company
By Sheila Stewart
In 1898, the Lindsay Brewery was located on the banks of the Scugog River,
just outside of downtown Lindsay, Ontario. Surrounded by numerous Mills, Factories and Hotels, each connected by an extensive railway system. It was a time of incredible growth and opportunity. Exciting things are happening in Lindsay again as the town makes its way through a period of gentrification and development. The Lindsay Brewing Company is located at 8 Cambridge Street North (formerly the home of the Pie Eyed Monk Brewery). Built in 1868, the C. L. Baker building has been fully restored and is complete with modern amenities, along with a 7 Barrel System and automated canning line. Lindsay Brewing Company offers a totally new beer line-up with something for every Ontario Craft Beer lover. Choose from a Golden Ale, Amber Ale, Stout, Altbier, Pale Ale or one of their limited releases. Everything is brewed and packaged in house. “We wanted to celebrate the deep history of our town and to share its story with our customers. Each label has been designed using other local historical properties as inspiration. First Response Amber Ale pays tribute

to the local firehall and the many brave women and men that serve our community,” says GM Erastus Burley. The on site bottle shop offers cans, growlers and kegs for purchase. An online store will be live in the coming weeks, offering customers the opportunity to have their favourite beer delivered right to their door. If you are planning an outdoor wedding or special event, be sure to check out their mobile beer trailer. This custom designed rig is a real head turner! I have had a meal at Pie Eyed Monk and enjoyed tasting their line of craft beers. This should be on your list of destination dining and just because go-to places. Check them out online at: www.lindsaybrewingcompany.ca Or drop by the full service restaurant for lunch or dinner.
