New Limburg Brewing Co
2353 Nixon Rd, Simcoe, ON

It’s always recess at this school in Nixon, ON, as New Limburg Brewing Co have transformed this former public school into a microbrewery. It was one of the first sunny days of spring when we pulled up to the schoolyard packed with beer and conversation flowing.
It is owned and operated by a family from the Netherlands who started out brewing as a hobby. Jo (dad) and Mischa (son) were avid home brewers and were inspired to brew the Belgian style beer they were missing from back home - they soon decided that their beer was too good to keep to themselves. They opened in the fall of 2015 and word soon spread of the quality beer they were producing, I have heard nothing but praise for both the beer and brewery itself!
As you wander through the hallways you’ll find an old classroom converted to the taproom (complete with a chalkboard menu), the girls washroom repurposed as a brew room, and the fermenters housed in the former library.
