C'EST WHAT DURHAM BREWING

Established in 1996, our brewery began as a one-man operation led by Bruce Halstead, passionately crafting exceptional beers for over 25 years. In 2021, we proudly partnered with C’est What, Toronto’s pioneering craft beer bar, marking an exciting new chapter in our journey.

At C’est What Durham, we specialize in cask ales, offering a diverse selection in cask, keg, and can formats. Our commitment is simple: to deliver beer that truly tastes like beer, celebrating the rich flavors and quality that craft brewing embodies.
