Ontario’s first licensed “”Brew On Premise” Facility
BYO was founded in 1990 and is one of the original Brew On Premise facilities in the Province as well as Canada. Don, through the Brew On Premise Association of Ontario (one of the founding members) and with the help of the Canadian Home Wine Trade Association (CHWTA), has been instrumental in ensuring that the rights and obligations for the industry are maintained in a fair and equitable manner. On April 1, 2000 the Brew On Premise industry finally became a recognized industry with the introduction of regulations. The Brew On Premise Association has now become the Fermenters Guild.

What is “Brewing On Premise” and how does it work?
A “Brew On Premise” facility is where you can come in and mix up ingredients to produce your own wine or beer for your personal use. You then leave the product with us as we “baby-sit” your product (rack, stabilize and filter it) until you return to bottle it.

We're proud members of the Fermenters Guild of Ontario, Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) and the Brantford Chamber of Commerce.

Don't hesitate to contact us for more information.
