History
Established in 2022
As someone who has lived in Mono for many years, Zach Gammage has always enjoyed the beautiful landscapes that surround him. The brewery has given him the chance to meet many other long-standing residents, share local tales, and welcome new residents who appreciate the area and the craft beer as much as he does.
From Teacher to Brewer
Zach spent nearly 16 years as a dedicated elementary school teacher, always encouraging his students to take chances and pursue their dreams. When the opportunity arose for him to switch careers, he decided to follow his own advice. Leaving the classroom behind, Zach embraced his ambition to transform his family’s 56-acre property into something extraordinary.
Crafting Unique Beers
Our beer menu is as fluid as the lagers, pilsners, and pale ales that flow through our stainless-steel vats. We offer a wide variety of beers, including favourites like the Island Lake Pale Ale and Mono Hills Hallertau Blanc IPA. Our Back Forty Session Series is a unique highlight, allowing customers to explore the impact of different hops on our base beer.
Humble Beginnings
Building The Dream
The journey began in the basement of Zach’s home, where he and his brother-in-law, Paul Wratten, started brewing beer as a hobby. Despite being a self-taught brewer, Zach’s dedication and enthusiasm quickly turned this pastime into a full-fledged pursuit. With each batch, they honed their craft, eventually realising that their homemade brews could stand alongside some of the best.
The Brewery
In 2020, just before the pandemic, Zach and Paul took a bold step. They built a 2,800-square-foot brewery on the family property, surrounded by the pine trees planted decades earlier. This dream became Mono Centre Brewing Co., a place where craft beer lovers and outdoor enthusiasts can come together to enjoy great beer in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
A Family-Oriented Community Hub
At Mono Centre Brewing Co., we pride ourselves on being a family-oriented destination. Our brewery features a spacious outdoor area with lawn games, fire pits, and plenty of seating. It’s a place where families can gather, kids can play, and everyone can enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We even have a pet-friendly policy, welcoming furry friends to join in the fun.
