Description

_In 1985, Ed McNally founded Big Rock Brewery Inc. ("Big Rock") to contest the time's beer trends. Three bold, European-inspired offerings forged an industry at a time heavy on easy drinking lagers and light on flavour.

Today, our extensive portfolio of signature beers, ongoing seasonal offerings, ciders (Rock Creek Cider series) and custom-crafted private label products keep us at the forefront of the craft beer revolution and still proudly contesting the beer trends of today.
