The brewery also uses fruits from their 25 year-old vineyard to create a selection of Eagle Bay Vineyard wines, including the Cabernet Sauvignon, the Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, and the Chardonnay.

In 1949, Jean had inherited some cash and was looking to purchase a farm. All it took was one fishing trip to Bunker Bay and Jean was suddenly a proud owner of a couple of small farms. As time passed, the trio’s father - John - inherited the farm but saw that its value was gradually declining; he knew that the farm would not be able to support their family in the future.

The d’Espeissis family wondered what they should do with the farm, and in the mid-2000s, the idea of starting a brewery popped up. Over the period from 2007 to 2010, the initial idea of a brewery was slowly transformed into reality. One of the siblings, Nick, started experimenting with homebrew kits, filling the family’s garage with countless homebrew bottles.
