About Muskoka Brewery
Nestled in the heart of Muskoka, Muskoka Brewery handcrafts premium beers as unique and refreshing as the region they're from.
Founders Gary McMullen and Kirk Evans kicked open the doors of Muskoka Brewery in June of 1996. Currently owned and operated by Todd Lewin and Bob MacDonald, what started as a very small and dedicated team has quickly grown to a passionate band of beer lovers more than 120 strong.
In short, we have a passion for great beer and we hope you get a chance to enjoy it. As part of the movement to bring true flavour back to the beers we drink the brews are made with natural ingredients, no preservatives and handcrafted to final perfection by the entire Muskoka brewing team.
HANGING UP THE SUIT FOR A PLAID SHIRT: WORKING AT MUSKOKA BREWERY Walking into work at Muskoka Brewery is a little different than your average office. With your coffee in one hand and a plaid backpack in the other, you'll pet four dogs, say thirty hellos, and stop by the brewer's office for a quick joke, all before getting to your desk. When you work at Muskoka, you hang up the three-piece suit for a red and black plaid. We may do things a little differently, but it makes all the difference: in 2016, we were named one of Canada's 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ and proudly announced as Canada's First Living Wage Brewery. In 2020 we earned Great Place to Work Canada Certification. Just like the taste of our award-winning beer, our team's attitude speaks for itself. It is our values that help shape our culture and our connection to our community.
