Founded in 2009 and one of the original Northern Ontario breweries, we brew meticulously hand-made small batch craft beer utilizing locally foraged ingredients whenever possible.

In recognition to all of the exceptional local support from the community, the brewery name was changed in 2020 to South River Brewing Company.

We’re a family run craft brewery, and we’ve been making all natural beer in Nobel, ON since 2016. We believe in the purity law of beer making, which only calls for the four raw ingredients and careful selection of highest quality malts, hops, yeast and water. In addition to finest Canadian malts, we also source our malted barley, hops and yeast from all over the world, to ensure that our final product remains pure and offers clean flavors.

Using time and effort we stay away from any forms of additives, extracts, brewing aids or pre-processed ingredients while achieving the highest quality standards in the craft beer making industry.

Our passion stems from the ability to combine the science and art of the beer making process to offer natural beers with balanced flavors.

The artwork on our cans is inspired by some of the ornaments found on Viking artifacts, including ceremonial drinking cups. While the Longship on the logo, has a dragon head that was first hand sketched by Norse Brewery team back in 2014. Thanks to the talented and professional visual designer, Aleks James from Newcastle, England, the design came to completion in 2016.
