Silversmith Brewing Company

Our story began way back in 2011, when two friends looked around their hometown of Niagara-on-the-Lake and were struck by the fact that while the region had 38 wineries, there wasn’t a single brewery. They decided it was time to change that. In the nearby town of Virgil was an old church. The friends bought the 117-year-old building, moved their equipment in, and Silversmith Brewing Company had its home. Lots has changed since then, but two things haven’t. First, we still make our famous, multi-award winning The Black Lager. Second, our brewery is still located inside our old church in Virgil Ontario. If you’re not familiar with the area, let’s just say we’re on the edge of Niagara-On-The-Lake Ontario. In 2022 Silversmith Brewing Co. purchased Black Oak Brewing Company. By joining together, we’re able to brew a combined portfolio of award-winning craft beers. The Brewery in Etobicoke, with its taproom, beerhall and retail store, will remain fully operational, with all its employees becoming part of the Silversmith team. Show Less
