About Us

Highlander Brew Co. is located in South River, Ontario, in the Almaguin Highlands from which Highlander takes its name. The brewery is on the Northern edge of Algonquin Park, making Highlander the most northerly craft brewery in Ontario.

The brewery began operations in 2009 when Brewmaster Brian Wilson made the brewery’s first beer, a traditional Scottish Ale. Using four varieties each of malt and hops, and cracking barley on site to ensure freshness, Highlander was soon a favourite of the region.

In the first two years Highlander concentrated on serving Northern Ontario, where the LCBO stores and the population have proven very loyal and supportive. In December 2011, Brian was joined by Bernie Liehs and Dwayne Wanner, who brought the beer to Southern Ontario, primarily into the Greater Toronto Area.

Currently, Highlander beers can be purchased in well over a hundred LCBO stores and many restaurants throughout the GTA. In 2013, Highlander has expanded its line to four products with the addition of Twisted Spruce, Blacksmith Smoked Porter and Wallaceburg.

Highlander Brew Co. is a proud member of Ontario Craft Brewers.
