Lake on the Mountain Brewing Company
We are a County owned brewery run by a small creative team that has a passion for making tasty, high quality small batch brews.
We have been supplying local and visiting craft beer enthusiasts for the past 17 years.
Our beers are as always available onsite at our brewery & taproom, at our two restaurants ‘The Inn’ and ‘The Miller House’, as well as a few other select local establishments. You won’t find us at the LCBO, Beer Store or anywhere off the island…so when you’re in the County make sure to stop by and join us for a pint and grab some to take home!
