LRCB, ASSAGAY · 18+ ONLY
About the brewery
Lions River Craft Brewery is owned by Mike & Michelle McClelland. The brand carries the Lions River name; the brewery works out of Assagay — always say LRCB, Assagay.
Mike & Michelle
A husband-and-wife craft operation with zero interest in bland beer. We chase flavour, colour, and hospitality — from Assagay batches to the open taps at Taps on Twenty-4 in Hillcrest.
Place wording matters: Lions River is origin / brand heritage. The brewery sits in Assagay. Taproom guests find us at 24 Old Main Road, Hillcrest.

- Taproom: Taps on Twenty-4 — OPEN
