Why the Bicycle motif? Well, co-founders (in 2014) Fariborz and Laura Behzadi are keen cyclists, simple as that.
The product range is an eclectic mixture of specials and staples. They call their list of brews The Peloton and
just like the Tour de France, some keep up and some get left behind.
The brewery is the favourite of the
staff at Cycling Canada!
Bicycle parking is available.

November 27th - Sue Williams
An Adventure at Sea and The Journey Within
|
 |
While in their early 50s, Sue Williams, without an adventure-seeking bone in her body, and her husband, David,
without any real blue water experience, left their three sons and cast off from Hamilton Ontario in their 37 foot
sailboat, and headed east. Destination the North Atlantic Ocean.
373 days later they returned home, having traveled 11,000 nautical miles, spent a total of 86 days at sea, and
completed two transatlantic crossings.
|
|
Sue has written a memoir about their improbable adventure - some would say misadventure - on the high seas.
Ready to Come About, her debut book, was published by Dundurn Press this past spring. Since its release, it has
become a Dundurn bestseller and a 'recommended read' by the Globe and Mail.

PROBUS' Vital Purpose …
... to stimulate thought,
interest and participation in activities at a time in life when it is easy to become complacent and
self-centred.
