Back in the ‘90s, the Granite was founded when you could count Canada’s craft breweries on one hand. Brewing open-fermented English ales in a landscape dominated by Molson and Labatt was a little bit mad. Deciding to serve an English IPA exclusively on cask when Alexander Keith’s was considered the benchmark for “IPA”? Downright ludicrous.
But we did it anyway.
Thirty-five years later, in a world overflowing with hazies, westies, and every style imaginable, we’re revisiting our flagship English IPA. We’ve given it a few thoughtful tweaks and a new name inspired by a phrase that’s echoed through the brewery tens of thousands of times over the years—and especially over the last year and a half.
Fingers Crossed is our 35th Anniversary beer. It celebrates our commitment to staying true to who we are while continuing to adapt, evolve, and survive in an ever-changing industry.
Here’s to 35 years—and, well... fingers crossed there’s many many more to come🍻

Fingers Crossed was launched at our 35th Anniversary Party and is now available on draft and in cans!
