OUR STORY

With a commitment to brewing exceptional and unique products using regionally sourced ingredients, we set out to create more than just great beer; we aimed to build a brewery rooted in community and local pride. 

Fueled by an entrepreneurial spirit, we saw an opportunity to contribute to the economic development of our hometown, supporting local farmers, businesses, and artisans along the way. Framed by the stunning Bathurst waterfront, our brewery offers notjust great flavors, but an experience—where breathtaking views,warm hospitality, and a shared love for craft beer come together tocreate something truly special.

The name 13 Barrels Brewing is inspired by local folklore — a tale of determined prohibitionists who dismantled a moonshine still and dumped 13 perfectly good barrels of liquor into Bathurst Harbour. A bold name, rooted in bold history.
