This new entity brings together decades of brewing experience and a shared commitment to quality, community, and innovation to seize the growing opportunities in Canada’s thriving craft beer industry.
The merger unites two independently operated breweries with strong regional roots and shared values. The new organization will rank among Ontario’s top 10 breweries, with combined production exceeding 20,000 hectolitres annually, over 200 employees, and nearly 30 years of collective brewing experience. It also solidifies retail distribution and brand presence throughout the Muskoka region, with a total of six restaurants, taprooms, and event locations.
Long-time Sawdust City leaders Natalie Archer and Sam Corbeil will take on senior leadership roles within the new organization, bringing their deep operational expertise and proven leadership to the forefront—key to driving the long-term success of this venture.
As part of the transition, Sawdust City Founder Rob Engman will be stepping away from the daily operations and stepping into a new role of Consultant with an emphasis on the real estate component of the business.
Cheers to the future of Ontario craft beer - and to Sawdust City, Merit & Lake of Bays Brewing!
