Brewing with character in Ontario since 1834

Sleeman is one of Canada’s oldest and most respected breweries, with roots dating back to 1834. Based in Guelph, Ontario, it has built a reputation for clean, easy-drinking lagers and ales brewed with consistency and integrity. While now part of a global group, Sleeman maintains a proudly Canadian identity — combining heritage, modern brewing, and a distinctly independent spirit.

Known for its clear bottles and unpretentious approach, Sleeman stands for refreshment, reliability, and quiet confidence in every pour.

“Brewed with clarity and consistency”

Sleeman beers are brewed using high-quality ingredients, traditional methods, and pure Canadian water. Whether it’s the flagship Original Draught, Cream Ale, or Light, the focus is always on clarity — both in flavour and appearance.

The beers are filtered, clean, and deliberately balanced: made for people who enjoy classic beer styles without excess bitterness or overcomplication. They’re straightforward, satisfying, and brewed to a high standard.

“A legacy of real Canadian brewing”

The Sleeman family name has been associated with beer for generations, surviving prohibition, relaunching in the 1980s, and growing into a national favourite. While the brewery has modernised over the years, it still honours its past with simple, well-crafted beers that stay true to its roots.

Brewed in Ontario and enjoyed coast to coast, Sleeman continues to represent the accessible, honest side of Canadian beer.

“Sleeman. Unpretentious. Reliable. Canadian.”

Whether you’re reaching for a crisp lager, a creamy ale, or a clean draught beer, Sleeman delivers classic styles with quiet confidence. It’s beer you can count on — brewed in Guelph with pride, clarity, and a respect for tradition.

From backyard get-togethers to neighbourhood bars, Sleeman is part of the everyday fabric of Canadian beer.
