Bannerman Brewing Co.

We are a brewery, café, restaurant and event space in downtown St. John’s, NL open from 7:30am until 11:00pm most days.

Found in the east end of downtown of St. John’s, BANNERMAN BREWING CO. is a locally owned and operated brewery, tasting room, cafe and event space. Home to a lighthearted crew, we have a passion for crafting artisanal beer and sharing it with our community.

To know the story of our brewery is to know the history of our neighbourhood. Long before we poured our first beer, BANNERMAN BREWING CO. was the location of the city’s historic East Fire Station. Originally constructed after the [Great Fire of 1892](https://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/politics/st-johns-fire-1892.php), it was rebuilt in the 1950s and still stands today at the corner of Duckworth and Ordnance Street.

But the building is only half of the story. During the Great Fire, some 11,000 people lost their homes. Displaced, but not defeated, residents banded together with nothing more than a few belongings to set up a tent city in [Bannerman Park](https://www.stjohns.ca/en/recreation-culture/bannerman-park.aspx). They weathered the aftermath of the fire and re-built the city. It’s this story of collectivism and community that BANNERMAN BREWING CO. proudly celebrates.
