Who We Are
Inspired by the eight farmers who came together in 1975 to create the Stockyards Farmers’ Market, Stockyards Brewing is a tribute to their spirit of collaboration, craftsmanship, and deep connection to the land. What began as a simple gathering of growers became the foundation for what is now the St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market — a place that celebrates community, local food, and the relationships that grow around them.
We're proud to carry that legacy forward with our new brewery and restaurant in the heart of the Market District, where we’ll craft beer and prepare food with the same honesty and intention, rooted in a place that continues to bring people together.



Head Brewer
Shane began his career in the beverage industry in 2006, working in a homebrew shop. He assisted his mother in purchasing and running her own brewery on premise till 2010. After that, he worked at Waterloo Brewing Company. He began as a cellarman, rapidly developed a love for beer, and worked his way up to become a brewing lead hand. In 2018, he had the pleasure to work alongside Brett Croft on the construction of what is now Stockyards Beverage Co/ Graffiti Market! When he's not brewing delicious beers, he spends his time at the gym, biking, playing golf, basketball, and disc golf.
