SAVOUR Manitoba

SAVOUR MANITOBA | SPRING 24 21 Sustainability isn't necessarily a concept that people associate with beer. However, that's the basis upon which Neepawa-based Farmery Estate Brewery was founded upon, says co-owner Chris Warwaruk. "When my brother and I founded Farmery, our goal was to be sustainable and lower our carbon footprint. at meant being closer to the land." And closer to the land they are. All the barley and hops used to craft Farmery products is grown at their farm in Neepawa. In fact, most of the ingredients come from the farm, whose centre point is a hopyard that was created from scratch. "By far, most of the ingredients in our beer come from our family farm — we don't have to import many of the ingredients that go into our beers," he says. "We typically sit in the combine and do the work. I think that really adds value to our crops and, by extension, our beers." Now a wide range of people enjoy Farmery's fine line of beers. "We craft our beer with care to make sure that people from all around the world enjoy it," says Warwaruk, who runs Farmery with his brother Lawrence. "It's not only popular here in Manitoba but in places like Pittsburgh and different areas of California. Most importantly, we are being good stewards of our environment as we make our beer. at's very important to us." Farmery products are available at Liquor Marts and beer stores. Products can be purchased at their craft beer outlet at 2 Donald St. or at their store in Neepawa.
