As an Ontario-based craft brewery, we are privileged to have an abundant supply of some of the best water in the world. Located in a rural setting and part of the local farming community in Lincoln, we are committed to preserving this precious resource and staying true to our role as stewards of the land and environment. Sustainability has always been a critical part of how Bench operates, which is why we’re very excited to share the full story of our innovative water treatme...nt system that drastically reduces our water footprint through conserving, recycling and reusing. We use the recycled water to irrigate our crops, the organics for fertilizer and spent grains for neighbouring livestock. Our goal is to be a zero wastewater facility now and in the future. Zero. Check out our video to learn more about this exciting new chapter in our sustainability journey.

CCWN helps them obtain food, clothing and emergency assistance in a caring, confidential manner and th...eir work is more important now than ever. The funds from this donation will be used primarily for their housing stability efforts. We are grateful to Bench Brewery for this amazing $5,000 contribution it came at such a time of need where many of our residents are asking for help with keeping the roof over their heads.Making rent is tough enough and securing adequate safe housing is even tougher!

Short Hills East Coast IPA in its natural habitat

Exciting news! We’ve been brewing up something special with our neighbours at Forty Creek Distillery @wearefortycreek and we are thrilled to release the bottles this weekend! Any guesses on what it might be?

In 2019 we embarked on a unique collaboration with our neighbours at @wearefortycreek. Curious to discover what we could craft by sharing the same barrels, 32 of their Canadian White Oak barrels from their original, award-winning batch of Forty Creek Confederation Oak were on their way to our brewery. Today, we proudly present Fortified - a small batch series featuring different expressions of Bench sour ales aged and blended from this special barrel stock. These very same ba...rrels are now back at Forty Creek, filled with whisky that is soaking in the new and unique flavours contained in the beer washed oak. Our first release of this unique series is Fortified Amber Sour Ale Aged in Canadian Whisky Barrels. With subtle notes of coffee, dried apricot and honeycomb, this expression of Fortified is amber in colour, with a bright acidity and a velvety finish. Fortified Amber Sour Ale is now on tap at the brewery and bottles are available on-site and online! https://shop.benchbrewing.com/products/fortified-amber

Back in April, we launched our first ever limited edition Lincoln Lager cans with our partners @hamiltontigercats, with a plan to donate a portion of the proceeds to @cflalumniassociation. Thanks to the amazing support we’ve received, we were able to proudly donate $5,000 to our friends at CFLAA last week! The CFLAA supports former CFL players to enhance the well-being of their members and friends. The primary beneficiary of our fundraising efforts is the CFL Alumni Support Fund (CFLASF), which exists to offer support alumni members and their families who may be experiencing financial challenges due to medical hardship. Thank you Leo, Jason and Ryan for stopping by our brewery to accept our donation cheque! We look forward to our future partnership with you. To learn more about @cflalumniassociation, visit their website at cflaa.ca

Have you met Max? He’s been with Bench since 2018, starting in the taproom and from there expanded his role as our Quebec Brand Ambassador. Now he has joined our brew crew as a Brewer!
