Old Flame Brewing Co.

The historical building housing Old Flame Brewing Co. at our flagship location in Port Perry was originally built in 1874, beginning as the Ontario Carriage Works. It was here where horse-drawn carriages were manufactured locally in the late 19th century. The building also served as a wood shop and blacksmith’s forge during this time. Beginning in the early 1900s, the building changed hands and uses several times. It became home to a Massey-Harris dealership, a shoe factory, a lumber yard, a farm equipment supplier, and a textile factory, before converting to its most recent use as Port Perry’s LCBO, in 1976.

Uncovering the Past…

During the painstaking revitalization of our flagship location in Port Perry to restore the building to its grand former self, its original post and beam structure was uncovered, along with century-old brick and burnt timber from a historical blaze. Repurposed industrial equipment, salvaged local ‘pickings’ and signs of yesteryear furnish our tasting room, giving our brewery a warm character that is worth remembering.

Almost all the picturesque decor in both of our tasting rooms have a story. Our breweries have become a museum of local antiques, keeping the rich history of our townships alive. This carefully curated atmosphere is paralleled only by the quality and taste of our traditional handcrafted lagers and specialty beers. Here at Old Flame we believe in drinking to remember instead of drinking to forget.
