"Grain & Grit was founded by Joe and Lindsey, a couple who are obsessed about beers and then created a home-brewing and family-oriented brewery. The brewery has been in the business for more than a decade. It was just a pipe dream of the owners when they were drinking a glass of craft beer and thinking about how to change their life."

"In in the west end of the city, this family-run brewery is just a short hop from McMaster University. Its head brewer Alex Sporn brings a European flair to his creations, thanks to the wee town in Germany where he grew up. Also a former winemaker, he’s now applying his skills to small-batch beer."
