ANDERSON CRAFT<br />
ALES<br />
Fully independent and 100% family-run, ANDERSON<br />
CRAFT ALES takes pride in crafting small batch,<br />
handcrafted, premium beers without compromise.<br />
Under Brewmaster Gavin Anderson’s rigourous<br />
watch and reliance on Canadian-grown barley, North<br />
American hops, crisp clean water, and yeast, top-quality<br />
ingredients make top-quality beer.<br />
THE SCENE<br />
Located in London’s Old East Village, Anderson has warmed an<br />
industrial building with a friendly bar and retail space, a social<br />
space on the second floor that overlooks the gleaming tanks and<br />
brewing process, and an inviting seasonal patio. Food trucks<br />
visit on Friday nights, and the brewery has already established itself as a strong community force in its first year<br />
of business. “We love the social aspect of drinking and appreciating craft beer,” says Aynsley Anderson. “It is<br />
important to us to maintain a family-friendly environment, and encourage people to come and meet friends, family or<br />
work colleagues in a setting where they can have a beer, but also just relax and socialize.”<br />

HIGHLIGHTS<br />
Anderson IPA (pleasantly hoppy, stonger) and Anderson Amber (ruby<br />
red, maltier, lighter) were the first two beers launched, and quickly<br />
established a following. Cream Ale (straw-coloured, unfiltered),<br />
Brown (toasty, chocolate and espresso notes) and a quarterly<br />
seasonal (Winter was a spiced ale, Spring was a dark lager, and<br />
Summer a session IPA) round out a core of five flagship beers. An<br />
imminent expansion to the Anderson draft system will put seven<br />
beers on tap plus a dedicated nitro line.<br />
You can find Anderson Craft Ales at the Beer Store and LCBO in<br />
cans, and on tap at an ever-growing number of bars and restaurants.<br />
