Our Story
of saying
thanks.
Fenelon Falls Brewing Co. was founded by husband and wife, Vinh and Agatha. Vinh immigrated to Canada in the 1970s, arriving in Fenelon Falls not knowing a soul, a word of English, or really having a place that felt like home. That didn’t last long. The town welcomed his family unequivocally in every way. It’s the great Canadian story.
Agatha is first generation Canadian of Polish ancestry (and she speaks fluent Polish, so be sure to say cześć!). She was born into the entrepreneur spirit and, as the child of immigrants, learned firsthand the value of taking risks in the service of building a life.
Fenelon Falls Brewing Co. is an expression of all of that—accepting opportunities, and applying the effort necessary to put a bit of good into the world. It’s a way of saying thanks, playing part in the life of the community, and paying forward the tradition of hospitality that has meant so much to them.
Our Space
"One of Canada's top ten favourite small towns." —Expedia
The building that houses our brew house has served a number of uses over the years. In 1901 it became a blacksmith shop run by Charles Kelly, a business that was still operating here into the 1960s. Kelly’s attention to his craft is still evident throughout the building, including his kiln and the mount for the tools that remain where he put them all those years ago.
Our space is designed to provide a place for people to gather, to sit a while, and to have a stress-free, quietly amazing experience. It will grow to include a taproom, an event space, and a street-side patio. The intention throughout is to shine a light on the people, the heritage, and the life of the region.
Whether you’re heading through the locks on a summer day, following the sled trails in the depth of winter, or anything in between, we’re here. Hope to see you soon.

Hops and more…
As I mentioned last time, there is debate in the brewing industry on the importance of measuring IBUs. Some see IBUs as an easily measurable parameter meant to serve as a guideline for consumers.

Our beers and what’s an IBU?
When we serve beer either in cans or at festivals, the most common question we get asked is what IBU means. It is an acronym for International Bitterness Units; it is a measurement of a specific component of hops that directly correlates with a perceived bitterness in beer.
