Serving it up family style!

Nita is a special place for the Nita team and many of our customers. It is common for customers to walk in on their own and then join up with the Nita crew for some beer, some food and some laughs. We welcome everyone and sometimes the discussions are intense. Fun and respect are at the centre of what we do.

  • Andy - Owner & Brewer

    Andy started brewing back in 2010 and loved it so much he decided to quit his gig at Algonquin College and running an electrical contracting business to start brewing full time. And so Nita Beer was born. Andy spends most of his time in the brew space ... brewing, cleaning, fixing and making sure the beer is delicious.

  • Bridget - Owner & Bunmaster

    Bridget started Nita with Andy way back in 2015. She manages back office stuff, beer taxes and bureaucracy (don't get her started on these topics!). When Paddy joined the team, Bridget started making buns, bread and pizza dough from scratch. You gotta try those homemade buns!

  • Paddy - Bar & Kitchen Assistant Manager

    Paddy learned a lot at his first dishwashing and line cook job at Broadways. He came to Nita to help us in a pinch and never left. He works the bar and the kitchen and helps get the Nita team rowing in the same direction.

  • Sam - Chef

    Quiet but purposeful in every interaction. Serious about food. Serious about a clean kitchen. You will often find Sam cleaning and scrubbing and then making the best food in the Nita kitchen! Ask for his smashburger or fried chicken sandwich ... it's delicious!

We are Canadian to the core

We do whatever we can to support local and buy Canadian products. We believe the place where we live is better when we are nice and say sorry. We enjoy the warm and the cold and think Canada is the best place on earth!

Nita beer, our collective world

In addition to delicious beer, we are obsessed with ways to make the world a better place. We invest our time to reduce waste with our beer to farm program and our obsessive recycling and composting. We have even invested in an electric vehicle to help reduce CO2 emissions. Every bit helps.
