Hops can be quite poisonous to your pets and cause a possibly fatal condition called malignant hyperthermia. If you have pets, make sure to keep your hops secure and out of reach! Want to learn more? Read this article by the Pet Poison Helpline:

Next Week on January 31st at 4pm - - Maker House Co. is turning 10 in 2025 and we are going to show up in style.

We are helping create an event in the Brew Donkey style. A throwback to our quarterly Head of the Glass beer education events from 2017: This event will help you learn about the non-alcoholic beer trends. A wave of manufacturers are creating them, but they are not all the same.

We will chat with good people ( - ) who have an inside track on the industry's changing tastes.

Free Samples, Witty Banter, Canadian Made Goodness!
All details are on the event link below.

Keeping to your resolution of a Dry January this year?
We have you covered. New in 2025, we will bring you and your pals to breweries that are making Alcohol-Free beverages.
These trips will help guests learn about how local breweries are making A.F. beer so that you can stay focused.
FYI, those who are joining but are not going to try dry January can also get the full-strength stuff on tour.

Our next trip is January 26th - https://www.brewdonkey.ca/products/brew-donkey-a-f-01-26-2025 (Link in Bio for Instagram)

We love it when a plan comes together. This and all of our ski trip planning started last February.

It's great to see that guests want to head up to the hills and explore some breweries on the way home.

You can still join us on this trip. We're visiting for the vertical and for the libations.

FAQ
πŸ‘‰ Yes, there will be space on the bus for your skis.
πŸ‘‰ You get about 4 to 5 hours on the hill
πŸ‘‰ If you don't want to ski, you can always purchase the bus only option and go snowshoeing or cross-country skiing.
πŸ‘‰ Meals are not included but we provide a fresh warm scone for the drive up to the hill.

You can find a link to all of our ski tours in our bio.

πŸ”»πŸ’΅ $15 off Ski Trip Pricing!πŸ”»πŸ’΅
This weekend, we went on our first ski trip, experiencing the wonders of Mont Ste. Marie and Chelsea & Co. for some Après-Ski. On that trip, we chatted with the guests and analyzed the logistics.

We have decided to adjust the design and pricing to remove the meal portion for the trip. This means that we will now provide a morning snack of freshly baked scone from , but all other food is up to the guests to acquire or bring.
As a result of this removal, the price of the trip has been reduced by $15pp.

*****

Our Ski with the Brewers Tour series will help you get those runs in and hit those bucket-list breweries. This year, the trips focus on Quebec's hill and beverage makers. They are customizable to your needs. We have three options: Bus Only, Bus and Lift Ticket, and Bus, Lift Ticket, and Gear Rental.

If you already have your gear and a lift ticket, you only need to buy a Bus Only pass. All levels include round-trip transportation, a snack, a brewery visit après ski, and on-bus entertainment.

Our next trip is on January 18th, visiting MSM and Brasserie du Bas Canada - https://www.brewdonkey.ca/products/ski-with-the-brewers-01-18-25
