In 1988, John W. Sleeman reopened the family’s brewery in Guelph, Ontario, with brews based on the original, handwritten Sleeman recipe book. John and the team worked hard and used some crafty thinking to make Sleeman the third-largest brewery in Canada—one bottle at a time.

Today, Sleeman’s team of brewmasters has over 100 years of combined brewing experience. In the spirit of the family’s brewing tradition, we continue to use a small-batch brewhouse to develop and master new, unique beer styles and flavours. It’s how Sleeman crafts high-quality beers for the masses, and why we've won numerous awards for quality and craftsmanship.
