Hey, it's Jesse! Your local Clifford rep!

We've got some sad news folks, Jesse is leaving the beer industry to move into a new field, and we want to take a minute to thank him for all the hard work he's put in here at the brewery over the past 3 years. 

Jesse started with us in 2021 looking to learn the ropes of the beer industry and has been an important part of the team ever since. From working the taproom, to doing sales and local deliveries, hosting shows at the brewery, and managing our social media. He has done it all!

We want to thank him for all his hard work and wishing him and his family the very best in the future and in his new job!

Drop a comment below for Jesse as he works his last shift with us today. CHEERS JESSE! 🍻 It has been a slice.

We’d like to take a moment to recognize the life of Neil Spence. One of the biggest supporters of local music in Hamilton and a huge supporter of our brewery since Day 1. It was with great sadness that we learned of his passing this past week. Neil and his wife Kris attended almost every live music show we put on at the brewery and he was loved by all of Hamiton’s musicians, venues, bars and breweries. He could often be spotted in his favourite red “pinball shirt” or drinking a few Pinball Wizard’s around town. It was so great to see him and Kris at the 6th year anniversary party this past January after his recent health troubles. Our deepest condolences to Kris and his family and thank you Neil for everything you did for the Hamilton community. You will be sorely missed by so many.

You can check out some of Neil’s amazing photography of Hamilton music and beyond on his instagram

The Clifford Brewing Company was launched by brewer Brad Clifford in Hamilton, Ontario in January, 2015. Brad had been brewing beer in the Ontario Craft Beer scene since 2009 and was first acknowledged as an award winning homebrewer before soon venturing into commercial brewing with similar success.

Two of the original Clifford Beers, Pinball Wizard APA and Clifford Porter, were first brewed under contract for bars and the LCBO while a site was secured in Hamilton for the brewery. Construction of the new brewery began in spring 2017 and by the fall of 2017, all Clifford beers were proudly brewed in East Hamilton at 398 Nash Rd. N.

The Clifford taproom and retail store opened in 2018 and along with the award winning Clifford Porter and Pinball Wizard a number of new beers were put into regular production, many available only at the brewery.
