About Us

Equals Brewing Company was founded in 2018 and has quickly grown into a trusted producer of beers, ciders, ready‑to‑drink, and non‑alcoholic products for some of Ontario and Canada’s leading beverage brands. In 2020, we launched Bangarang Hard Seltzer and in 2021, we introduced Shake Lager, a Canadian Brewing Awards gold medal winner. More recently, we added Side Launch Brewing Company to our portfolio, an established Ontario craft brewery known for its award‑winning beers and strong community presence.

At Equals, we believe our success is driven by our people. We’re a small, fast‑moving team that values ownership, collaboration, and problem‑solving. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for people who are ready to take initiative and help strengthen the systems that support our expanding operations.
