The Beer

Farmery is made with 100% natural ingredients, made in Manitoba. Owners Chris and Lawrence Warwaruk come from an agriculture background. The farm is located just outside Neepawa at Arden Ridge. The beer has five essential ingredients, three strains of hops, prairie grown barley, yeast, water and wheat protein.

The beer is available in cans (four pack, eight pack), bottles (four pack, six pack, singular) and draft kegs.

The Story

Brothers Chris and Lawrence Warwaruk were farmers in Neepawa, Manitoba. They acquired the family farm, but they were on the verge of bankruptcy. The two brothers moved to Winnipeg and opened Lux Sole.

After 10 years, Chris and Lawrence transitioned their bar into Winnipeg’s first gastropub, with over 100 beers on selection. The opening of the pub allowed Chris and Lawrence to go back to their roots, and using the knowledge they acquired from the service industry, they launched Farmery Brewery.

Dragon’s Den

On January 8, 2013, the brothers appeared on the Season 8 finale of CBC's Dragon's Den. They pitched the idea of building a brewery on the farm estate where all the ingredients are grown. David Chilton and Arlene Dickinson agreed in a partnership that would give the brothers $200,000 to help build the brewery in exchange for six per cent of royalties. This would make Farmery the first estate brewery in Canada.
