*London Brewing is a local, co-operative, and organic craft brewery born in the heart of London's Old East Village in 2014. We do things very differently around here, and believe quality inputs create quality products. That's why we were the first Canadian Craft Malt Certified Brewery, and still brew with an average 38% local craft malts and 60% local organic hops. One of only a handful of Certified Organic craft breweries in Ontario, we strive to create a beer that is better for the people and planet that support it.
