A balcony view reveals the soaring 45-foot ceilings and<br />
Doc’s Bar, facing the Cowbell Brewhouse.<br />
the groundwater table on the property. This<br />
reduces the water demand and means that<br />
there is no impact on the municipal system or<br />
the environment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Greener Pastures Community Fund<br />
is one of the ways the Sparling family and<br />
Cowbell are giving back. In <strong>December</strong> 2016<br />
Cowbell launched a long-term relationship<br />
supporting Ontario’s four children’s hospitals.<br />
Cowbell donates five cents from every can and<br />
pint sold, to be invested annually in specific<br />
initiatives at each of the children’s hospitals.<br />
Cowbell also supports the foundations<br />
through event participation and by raising<br />
awareness of the life-changing work by<br />
remarkable people in these world-class<br />
hospitals. Funds raised also support the Grant<br />
and Mildred Sparling Centre at <strong>The</strong> Canadian<br />
Centre for Rural Creativity, which will break<br />
ground in Blyth in 2018.<br />
Cowbell checks all the boxes as a key agritourism<br />
attraction and a major economic<br />
driver in the region. It is well worth the drive<br />
to Blyth to experience Canada’s first designbuild<br />
destination brewery.<br />
