Muskoka Brewery opened in Bracebridge, Ontario in 1996, founded by Gary McMullen and Kirk Evans, and has remained independently owned since. It started on Taylor Road with Cream Ale and moved to a larger site on Muskoka Beach Road in 2012, where it also runs a taproom. Most of its beer is left unfiltered, separated by centrifuge rather than filtration. The Moonlight Kettle series, begun in 2015, adds a rotating monthly beer developed by staff teams.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
