About Bench Brewing:
Located in the heart of Niagara’s wine country, the Bench brewery is located on the site of the historic Maple Grove Public School in Lincoln, Ontario. Our brewery is a place for our guests to relax, learn, and experience the craft of brewing beer.
The Bench Brewing campus sits across eight beautiful acres of farmland and features a 50hL brewing system, a tap and tasting room, a beer garden, a ‘funk house’ for our wild ale and barrel fermentation program, and our very own hops field.
Our property houses a beautiful church built in 1938 that has been converted to the Fieldstone at Bench facility. It has an indoor seating capacity of approximately 70 guests and during the warmer seasons the events lawn can seat up to 225 guests.
Bench is a certified B Corporation and strives to be a leader in sustainability, having achieved a zero-wastewater footprint and Carbon Neutral certification by Radicle Climate Smart.
In January 2023, Bench Brewing and Henderson Brewing announced a long-term partnership for both brewing and selling Henderson’s core beers. Henderson Brewing Co. is located in the Heart of Toronto on Sterling Road as well as Henderson Brewery @YYZ in collaboration with Canadian rock band Rush. Henderson believes in making innovative and approachable beers that reflect the stories and culture of Toronto.
In April 2023, Bench Brewing acquired the Niagara Cider Company whose goal is to craft dry, flavorful, and balanced ciders using the bounty of all the fruits that Niagara and Ontario have to offer. Niagara Cider has quickly become a top selling Ontario Craft Cider brand as well as winning multiple awards for their family of ciders.
