Introduction
The Sleeman family has been brewing beer here in Guelph, Ontario since the mid-1800s. Our original Sleeman Brewing & Malting Company ceased operations in 1933, only to be revived after half a century (our "Dark Ages") by John W. Sleeman, great-great-grandson of our original brewmaster. Since 1988, Sleeman has once again been brewing our renowned Sleeman Cream Ale and other beers according to the original recipes that date back over 100 years.
Today, Sleeman is one of the fastest growing premium brewers in North America. Throughout our lineage, brewing the highest quality beer has been an unwavering passion for the Sleeman family. We invite you to read about our brewing philosophy and techniques, and to tour our brewery - online or in person.
