Celebrating Local Excellence: A Visit to Creemore Springs Brewery

July 25, 2025

I had the pleasure of visiting Creemore Springs Brewery for a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most iconic and respected businesses in our region. Nestled in the heart of Clearview Township, Creemore Springs has played a key role in shaping the economic and cultural identity of the Village of Creemore since it first opened its doors in 1987.

What started as a small, community-driven brewery founded by John Wiggins has grown into a thriving operation that now employs over 70 people. It was inspiring to witness firsthand how a local idea, born out of a passion for quality and tradition, has grown into a company with a national presence, all while staying true to its roots.

During my tour, I had the opportunity to see how their beer is brewed and packaged, including their flagship amber lager that put Creemore Springs on the map nearly 40 years ago. The attention to detail, pride in craftsmanship, and commitment to quality were evident at every step of the process.

What made the visit even more meaningful was meeting some of the long-serving employees who have been with the company since its early days. Their dedication and passion reflect not just a commitment to the product, but to the community as well.

Creemore Springs Brewery is more than just a business, it’s a symbol of local entrepreneurship, resilience, and pride. It continues to be a major contributor to the local economy and a proud ambassador for Clearview Township and Simcoe–Grey.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for the warm hospitality and for sharing the passion that goes into every bottle. Your legacy is something our whole region can be proud of.
