Chris and Lawrence Warwaruk’s dream will come one step closer to reality this spring. In 2011, the brothers set out to build Canada’s first estate brewery, which they called Farmery, and at the end of April, they will take delivery of their new brewing equipment. Not only is Farmery a microbrewery, all of the inputs used to make the beer are grown on their Arden-area farm.
