The CRAFT Story

At CRAFT Beer Market, we bring together fresh, local food, creative cocktails, and craft beer from around the world—all under one roof. 

Inspired by Portland’s vibrant craft beer scene, founder, PJ L’Heureux, set out to make craft beer accessible to Canadians. In 2011, we opened our first location in Calgary’s historic downtown, and we were met with open arms. Since then, we’ve grown to include locations stretching from beautiful British Columbia to Ontario’s vibrant east coast. 

We’ve been at the forefront of Canada’s craft beer movement, making craft beer approachable for everyone. We’re passionate about educating our guests on craft beer and its culture, and we take as much pride in serving every pint as Brewmasters do in brewing them. 

A visit to CRAFT is more than just a meal—it’s an experience that connects people through community and culture. Almost all of our restaurants are located in historic buildings or iconic districts that have long been gathering places for socializing and celebration. 

We’re more than just a restaurant—we’re proud to be part of the communities we serve. We support local businesses, engage in community initiatives, contribute to charitable causes, and champion sustainability to protect the environment.
