Our Story2026-01-08T16:52:05+00:00

Brewed with purpose.

Black Bridge Brewery brings world-class beer to Saskatchewan. The same passion that kickstarted our brewing journey back in 2014 still runs through our veins today. From humble homebrew beginnings to a joint venture with another likeminded Saskatchewan craft brewery, our dedication to well crafted beer has never wavered.  No matter your taste in beer, Black Bridge has a brew for you.

The Bridge

Black Bridge Brewery takes its name from the small iron bridge just a few kilometers south of Swift Current, in the rolling Southwest Saskatchewan prairies. Well known among residents of Swift Current, the bridge serves as a humble but beloved icon for those in the area. The bridge’s spirit is reflected in our values: down-to-earth, strong, honest, and proud to represent Saskatchewan brewing. 

The People

Black Bridge Brewery was built from the passion and hard work of Clayton and Kari Stenson. A love of homebrewing inspired Clayton and twelve years later, Black Bridge Brewery opened its doors for the first time in Swift Current. 

In late 2025, Black Bridge Brewery entered into a joint venture with our friends at 9 Mile Legacy Brewing Company in Saskatoon to support the long term strength of both brands. Production and distribution of our products have been consolidated to 9 Mile’s brewery in Saskatoon. Both breweries remain rooted in the people and communities who built them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you decide on seasonal beer releases?2018-11-20T22:11:01+00:00

Our seasonal releases are beers that we are interested in making. We try to incorporate beer styles that are suited for the season we release them in.

How long does it take to make a batch of beer?2018-11-20T22:10:38+00:00

It depends on the style, as there are beers that can age for months or longer. Generally speaking though, from brew day to package day about it is about 3 weeks.

How much do you brew at a time?2018-11-20T22:10:14+00:00

We have a 20HL (2000 liter) brew house, which means we brew 20HL at a time. We can produce up to 5000HL per year.

What is a growler and how long does it last?2018-11-20T22:09:30+00:00

A growler is a refillable jug. Once opened, we recommend consuming it within 24 hours. If kept unopened in the fridge, it should be consumed within 3-5 days.

Do you have a location in the United States?2018-11-20T22:08:38+00:00

No we don’t. That is a different brewery altogether, we are not associated with each other. If you travel and are in the area, go try one of their beers. Black Bridge Brewery in Arizona.
