Farmery Estate Brewery
Farmery Estate Brewery is a privately owned brewery based out of Neepawa, Manitoba, Canada. The beer is brewed in-house in Neepawa, after previously brewing in Muskoka, Ontario. Farmery is sold in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
As of 2018, the Farmery's core line of products include Farmery Premium Lager, Blonde Canadian Pale Ale, Prairie Berry Ale as well as malt-based coolers such as Pink Lemonale and Hard Iced Tea. They also have a variety of seasonal releases throughout the year including Pioneer Harvest Stout, Fresh Hop Ale, Robbie Scotch Ale, Hop Bine Rye IPA and Wind Chill Lager. The beers use three strains of hops, prairie-grown barley, yeast, water and wheat protein.
The brewery is owned by Chris and Lawrence Warwaruk, two brothers from an agriculture background. Before starting the company, they were farmers in Neepawa, Manitoba. They acquired the family farm, but they were on the verge of bankruptcy. The two brothers moved to Winnipeg and opened Lux Sole. After 10 years, Chris and Lawrence transitioned their bar into Winnipeg's first gastropub, with over 100 beers on selection. The opening of the pub allowed Chris and Lawrence to go back to their roots, and using the knowledge they acquired from the service industry, they launched Farmery Brewery.
