Faculty Brewing Co.

Faculty Brewing was founded by Mauricio, a food engineer and former professor, and Alicia, an architect who designed the brewery. The Faculty name reflects Mauricio’s teaching background and a genuine commitment to making craft beer more accessible: the brewery shares its recipes openly, collaborates with other breweries and home brewers, and welcomes beer drinkers of any experience level. Located in the former Pedal Bike Depot space in Mount Pleasant, it’s a community-minded taproom as much as a brewery.

Faculty’s beer names include a number system similar to how universities and colleges number courses by their level of complexity and expertise. Lower numbers indicate a more entry-level beer, while higher numbers are reserved for more experimental and boldly flavoured beers. The brewery has a partnership with Oddity Kombucha, and the two businesses share a small tasting room and patio.
