Brick Brewing Company Limited (TSX: BRB) is a brewery based in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario with several divisions. Brick is reportedly the largest Canadian-owned brewer in the province, and was also its first modern craft brewery[1][2]

Brick's most successful brand is the Laker series. Brick also operates Waterloo Brewing, a craft brewing division, and LandShark Lager Canada.[3]

Brick Brewing Company Ltd is a public company with 145 employees (2012) and 30 million CAD market capitalization.[4] Brick reported net revenues of 37 million CAD in fiscal 2015-2016.[5]

The company's administration currently consists of president and CEO George Croft, CFO Sean Byrne, and COO Russell Tabata. Founder Jim Brickman resigned in 2008.[6]

In January 2017, Brick put its Formosa Springs Brewery in Formosa, Ontario up for sale; that may result in the closing of the 40 thousand square foot plant if the new owner is not interested in retaining the facility. In addition to the Formosa brand, Brick is also selling the Red Baron lines. The company will then consolidate its operations in Kitchener and expand the plant, at an estimated cost of $4 million.[7][8]
