Beau’s Brewing Co. has been purchased by the Toronto-based Steam Whistle Brewing, though the brewery says it will maintain a presence in Vankleek Hill.
In 2006, Steve Beauchesne and his father Tim co-founded the brewery with the well-known vintage green tractor logo and its award-winning “Lug Tread Lagered Ale.”
Steve Beauchesne said the pandemic “dramatically” impacted the business, erasing about half of the brewery’s revenue “overnight.”
He said the sale will allow the brewery to survive.
About 60 people currently work for Beau’s.
Details of the offer are confidential.
