York Region Agri-Food Business Spotlight: Turkey Shoot Brewing Co.

So, just how local are they?

A local artist created the map on their packaging. Beers are named after local places fans can relate to, like Lake Simcoe Lagered Ale (available from the brewery, in local bars & restaurants and in several local LCBO stores), and Pefferlaw Pale Ale or Cedarbrae Cream Ale, inspired by local towns or streets in the area.

Even flavours used in their unique beers come from as many local partners as possible, such as Elpida, a Blonde beer that is flavoured with coffee from a local roaster located just down the road! What’s more, all of their beer is made using 100% Ontario grown hops, which is relatively unique even for local brews.

Their commitment and connection to the local community extends into their Tap Room and Beer Garden experience. It has become a popular hub for locals and a special treat for tourists to participate in trivia and game nights, open mic events or listen to musicians play as they sample the beverages and food available through the changing seasons. It’s also a special location for event rentals and private parties.

When asked what their future plans are, Kyle says there’s nowhere to go but up. “We’re now focused on growing our business and expanding our tap list. Looking ahead, we are optimistic that we’ll continue to grow by providing residents and tourists with a unique destination, offering great local beer and community.”
