Cousins from a small town in Ontario, Mark Muzzin and Marty Turco are as Canadian as they come.

While growing up, these cousins kept busy by playing hockey on a rink or a frozen pond with the dream of one day playing in the NHL. That dream was a reality for Marty after setting an NCAA Hockey record of 127 wins as a goaltender, an unbeatable accomplishment. He continued with a successful eleven-year career in the NHL, celebrating each win with Mark by sharing a pint of beer…it became a tradition.

After many laughs, long nights, and one too many beers, the two decided to transform their passion into a business, thus creating Kingsville Brewing Co. Just two Canadian boys from Kingsville and Sault Ste. Marie believed that small-town dreams can materialize into a reality.
