Brewed strictly in accordance with the Bavarian Purity Act of 1516, and using only four all-natural ingredients (water, malted barley, hops, and yeast), our three beers are perfectly balanced to create a smooth and refreshing taste. Our Brock Street Blonde has recently been voted #1 best light beer in a recent blind test with professional judges! The Brock Street Brewing Company’s five all-natural craft beers are available year-round.
The Brock Street Brewing Company is located at 1501 Hopkins St., Unit 3, in Whitby, Ontario and is open for sampling and sales!
