Here at the brewery we’re entering our first fall season, and it’s a bit like wandering down a new trail – we have a pretty good idea of where it’s leading, but we need to use our wits to navigate. Exciting – and the scenery’s looking mighty nice too. Summer? It was on point. Our beer ... Read More
The Second Wedge Brewing Company
The Second Wedge Brewing Company is a Canadian brewery from Uxbridge, Ontario.
Meet the Uxbridge Wedge! We’re not talking about cheese or golf – although Uxbridge is a fine place to enjoy both. The Uxbridge Wedge is the second of the four wedges of the Oak Ridges Moraine, and the one we love best, because we live, work and play here. It’s a landscape of rollercoaster hills that’s ideal for cycling, running, hiking, riding – all of which make you thirsty. You know where we’re going with this.

Construction update… nearly there!
Construction update… nearly there! The countdown is on. We had our brewhouse delivered today from HDP and it’s being inspected tomorrow by the Canada Revenue Agency, who need to be sure we have our tanks correctly calibrated so we can report on quantities produced. Once that’s done, we’re finishing up our construction and then waiting for the ... Read More
Good neighbours
Good neighbours We picked the right home for our brewery. Over on Victoria Street, they know what being neighborly is all about. On a chilly day in October, the good people at H.H. Goode & Son and Newmarket Precast Concrete pitched in to bring our new tanks off the freight truck and guide them safely into our building. HH ... Read More
