    Cost $40.00/person

    Join us for a Sleeman Brewery tour and light lunch.

    After the tour, Sleeman will do a curated sampling of 3 Sleeman products. After that, drinks are billed to the individual should they choose to have more. Also, members can buy beer from their beer store along with other merchandise.

    The Sleeman name has been immersed in beer tradition for five generations. In fact, the Sleeman family wrote the book on it — literally. The Sleeman brewing tradition in Canada extends back to 1834 when John H. Sleeman arrived in Ontario from Cornwall, England. By 1851, he started the first Sleeman brewery to be located in Guelph, Ontario, brewing small 100-barrel batches.

    "Sleeman Breweries is Canada’s third-largest national brewer. We may have become a bigger company, but we have never lost sight of our original vision to bring Canadians better beer."

    "We’ve built an incredible portfolio of beer brands in Canada: great Canadian brands such as Sleeman, Okanagan Spring, Unibroue and Wild Rose, combined with world-class beers such as Sapporo, Old Milwaukee and Pabst Blue Ribbon."

    "No matter what you’re looking for in a beer, we’re sure we have something you’ll love."
