Sawdust City Brewing Company
Sawdust City Brewing Company started out in 2011 at the Niagara College Teaching Brewery, then bought a former Canadian Tire building in Gravenhurst on Lake Muskoka, where the first beer came out of its own tanks in 2014. The name recalls the town's old nickname from the days when mills and lumberyards lined the shore. The 20,000 square foot site holds a Canadian-made brewhouse, a barrel-aging room and a bar built around a live-edge counter milled from a felled pine. Sam Corbeil has run brewing since the beginning, and the range moves from lagers and English bitter to hazy IPAs and kettle sours.

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.
Bone Pine
