About UsBrown Van Brewing is a family owned business incorporated in 2015. Our first batch of beer was released to the public in May 2016. Look for us on tap and in cans at various Ottawa locations, and at 35+ LCBO's and grocery stores in Ottawa & Eastern Ontario, as well as Toronto, Guelph, Kitchener and Windsor.
Our Kolsch style ale combines the clean, crisp taste of a lagered beer with the flavour and character of an ale. A Kolsch is a German ale originating from the Cologne region in Germany. A Kolsch is warm fermented, then conditioned by lagering at cold temperatures. The result is a delicious straw-blond beer with a fruity and malty flavour on the palate. |
Who We Are |
Brown Van Brewing is owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Paul and Erica Braunovan. Brown Van is brewing beer under contract with Kichesippi Beer Co. and its amazing brewmaster Don Harms, who has worked in the industry for almost thirty years.
