## About

Twas Now Brewery operates a pico-scale (1 BBL) brewery in the East Ward of Kitchener, ON.  We specialize in small-batch beers of note; limited runs, unique recipes. We are hyper-local and steeped in the region’s proud past, honoring its metamorphosis into a globally renowned educational mecca and the western terminus of the “Toronto-Waterloo” corridor.  We specialize in beers of character and note that pull inspiration from local economy, industry, lore, and tradition.

Our story starts in the 1980s, with a group of friends born and raised in the post-industrial streets of downtown Kitchener and the East Ward. Our five founding partner families (we did get married and had a few kids) have deep roots in the area, and though some of us may have moved (but not all of us!), our hearts live in the city’s core.
