Original Gravity Beverage + Hospitality Group
At Original Gravity, craft beer runs deeper than a recipe; it’s a way of life rooted in community, creativity, and a love for great taste. Home to six distinct locations across Ontario (Huntsville, Bracebridge, Baysville, Gravenhurst, and Hamilton), we celebrate the spirit of beer all the way from serene nature to the grit of the city through every pint we pour.
From the lakeside heart of Gravenhurst, where Sawdust City Brewing believes there are no rules but “make great beer,” to the welcoming vibe of Lake of Bays Brewing, where community and fun pair perfectly with every glass, and the bold innovation of Hamilton’s Merit Brewing, which fuses culinary artistry with brewing craft, Original Gravity unites these stories under one name.
Beyond our locations, and within our family of brands, we understand that each brand is unique to the other. We work hard to honour each of their established brand identities within the marketplace, but united under a shared goal of quality, consistency, creativity, and connection. We are also a “beverage” company - meaning while beer is the base of our foundation, we have a growing portfolio in other beverage categories including non-alcoholic and RTDs.
We are proud to offer our team members:
- A positive, diverse and inclusive company culture
- Competitive compensation & benefits package based on skills and experience
- Paid time off including vacation, personal days and bereavement time
- Discounted merch & food
- Car allowance
