Canada, ON: Stonehooker Brewing Company finally opens in Mississauga

Old Credit Brewing is no longer the only brewery in town, as Stonehooker Brewing Company finally opened a craft brewery in Mississauga’s Port Credit and Lakeview area, insauga.com reported on June 21.

The summertime opening is great news, as the much-anticipated brewery was originally slated to open in September 2018.

But while beer lovers had to wait longer than expected for the facility to become operational, they were able to sample Stonehooker’s Broad Reach Noreaster IPA (5.4% abv) prior to the opening. The Ontario Beverage Network describes the beer as a hazy IPA brewed with Mosaic, Vic Secret and Simcoe hops.

The brewery, founded by Ross Noel with Brewmaster Adam Cherry, features a tap room and retail store with various beers, including a saison, tripel, lager, imperial stout, hefeweizen, porter, milkshake IPA, and double IPA.

As for the perfect name, the Ontario Beverage Network says the moniker “Stonehooker” honours Port Credit’s history as a centre for stonehooking—a method of collecting stone slabs specifically from shores of Lake Ontario that was utilized in the 1800s.
