KARBON BREWING
BETTER BEER FOR A BETTER WORLD
We focus on harnessing clean technology through the brewing process and cleaning up our supply chain.
We source our ingredients locally and use 100% Ontario Hops.
High quality, locally sourced ingredients make for exceptional beverages.
Our beverages are available in select stores, bars and restaurants throughout Ontario.
Beer Can Have Impact
One of the biggest challenges at Karbon Brewing is finding out how to connect our consumers to real world solutions that drive impact on the ground. Saying you are trying to be more sustainable is a way of the past, implementing solutions is the way we fight the climate crisis.
Can we turn each purchase into something that has verified real world impact? Can beer do more?
We think so.
The journey to Carbon Negative
The Karbon story started with a simple idea, create beverages that taste great and help our planet. Our mission is to create better beer for a better world. We are seeking real-world change.
A first-of-its-kind research collaboration in North America will see Trent University and Karbon Brewing Co. come together to research and develop green brewing technologies for a carbon-negative future, while also collaborating on curriculum development and offering students hands-on, experiential learning opportunities.
Reversing our Carbon Footprint
OUR PLANS FOR A CARBON NEGATIVE FUTURE
CARBON NEGATIVE - "The reduction of an entity’s carbon footprint to less than neutral, so that the entity has a net effect of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere rather than adding it."
Our goal is to be Canada's first carbon negative brewery and we aim to achieve this by 2024.
By tapping into a worldwide network of environmental researchers, we are working to innovate, create and apply sustainable solutions to the brewing process.
We track every part of our carbon footprint, analyze our upstream production and downstream sources, we reduce our waste and always choose the most sustainable option we can in every situation.
As a company who seeks a better future, we aim to be transparent and are proud to share our knowledge with our industry to create a "green beer revolution".

Beer for the greener good?

A few years ago, the term “green beer” almost invariably referred to artificially emerald drinks for celebrating and sloshing on St. Patrick’s Day. But today, green beer doesn’t merely mean an incoming hangover: It also describes a more ecoconscious approach to brewing, poised to change the industry.
Not to dampen happy hour, but beer is largely unsustainable. “It’s an inherently wasteful process that requires a lot of agricultural input, utilities and waste,” explains Stephen Tyson, founder of Karbon Brewing Co., which launched in 2020 in Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood.
