9 Mile Legacy Brewing
This nano-brewery opened it’s doors in 2015 and has been brewing quality English and Belgian-inspired craft beer ever since. The “9 Miles” in 9 Mile Legacy refers to the distance that separated the two founders’ family farms. It is a testament to the history that the two families have shared working together for decades, and now a dedication to their continued partnership.
9 Mile Legacy Brewing features an industrial-style taproom where they serve their ales brewed on site. Located in Saskatoon’s Riversdale neighbourhood, this is the perfect place for drinking your new favourite beer! They love to collaborate with other local brewers in the community to come up with some pretty excellent beer creations. Definitely a must visit in Saskatchewan!

The staff are so much fun, enthusiastic about people, and knowledgeable about beer.

Highly recommend this easy to deal with brewery. Love them!
