The Goodlot Farmstead Brewing Co. story began with the farm supplying organic hops to craft brewers across the province. Then, with the ingredients in hand the decision was made to become the first farm-to-barrel brewery in the region, creating their “Farmstead Ale”, made with ingredients only grown and raised on the grounds and other local farms. 

With the organic farm powered by 20kw of solar power, the goal is to be totally “carbon-positive” (providing more green energy then they consume), creating not only a great tasting, but also an environmentally friendly product.
