THE TAPROOM

+ Soda SHop

For those who like getting the goods straight from the source, we operate a taproom adjacent to our brewery. Come in for a pint, a flight, to stock up on some beer for home or fill a growler. We’re serving up our core beers and seasonal, small-batch features. We’ve also expanded to make room for our adult soda shop and a food counter operated by our friends at Lil’ Empire right next door. The only thing we don’t have is TVs. You’re welcome.

International Women’s Day Cask Battle
International Women’s Day Cask Battle

To celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8th, swing by both Annex & BORN’s Taprooms between 1pm-6pm for a Charity Cask Battle!

Each taproom will have TWO casks available, which are each partnered with a different local women’s charity. Attendees can purchase a pour of each of the four casks and fill in a Cask Punch Card throughout the day. Completed cards can be dropped off until close at either taproom to be entered to win a prize pack from both breweries! In addition, you will also be voting for your favourite cask, and the charity that is paired with the cask with the most votes will receive 100% of the cask sale proceeds from the day!

Casks will pour until they run dry! Some of the charities will be at their respective taprooms from 1pm-6pm to share information about their work.
