The Name

Ahoy there, let us regale you with the tale of how 'Schooner Street Brewery' came to be! Picture this: a bunch of intrepid brewers, pots and pans clinking, in our humble garage on Schooner. It all began as a small batch operation, a hobby that made Sundays our favourite day of the week.  Sunday fundays!

As our brews grew bolder and our equipment mightier, the notion of turning our passion into a profession dawned on us. But what about a name? That, my friends, took quite a few 'meetings' - cozy gatherings with our trusty advisors Shelby John, Juicy Brucy, and Tesla Mike. We affectionately dubbed our garage brewery 'Schooner Street Brewery' during those sessions.

Then, one fateful day, we had a chuckle... you see, our street isn't actually called 'Schooner Street,' but rather the slightly more nautical 'Schooner Crescent.' We're pretty sure there's no Schooner Street in Waterloo, Ontario. Fear not, we plan to right this geographical wrong ship at our farmstead in the future!

Today, we're delighted we went with 'Schooner Street Brewery.' It encapsulates our beginnings, it sounds downright awesome, and it's a perfect reflection of who we are. Cheers to that!
