One kettle.
A stubborn idea.

People raising beer glasses in the taproom

Built by hand, batch by batch.

Delaney Hart brewed the first batch of Anvil & Hops in a leaky warehouse on the wrong side of the rail yard, using a second-hand kettle and a recipe scribbled on the back of a delivery slip.

Nine years later the kettle is bigger and the roof no longer leaks, but the approach hasn’t changed: small batches, whole ingredients, and beer poured a hundred feet from where it ferments. We’d rather make twelve great beers than a hundred forgettable ones.

What we brew by.

Fire & Patience

Direct-fired kettles and long, unhurried ferments. Good beer can’t be rushed and we don’t try.

Whole Ingredients

Whole-cone hops, single-origin malt, our own house yeast. Nothing we can’t name on the label.

Rooted Here

We brew for our neighbourhood first. Most of our beer never travels more than a few miles.
