Bench Brewing Company is making a bold move to expand its footprint in Ontario’s craft beverage scene. By acquiring the Ace Hill and Liberty Village brands, the company strengthens its presence across beer, cider, and ready-to-drink categories. This strategic growth reflects Bench’s commitment to quality, sustainability, and meeting the evolving tastes of modern consumers.
A press release from Bench Brewing Company revealed that the agreement includes all intellectual property and distribution rights.
This acquisition brings together three complementary brands built on shared values of quality, simplicity, and community. Ace Hill adds a strong lineup of clean, easy-drinking beers and ready-to-drink beverages (RTDs), including favourites like Ace Hill Pilsner and Lemon Vodka Soda. Liberty Village contributes a crisp, better-for-you cider presence with its flagship Zero Sugar Dry Cider. Together, they strengthen Bench’s reach across beer, cider, and RTD categories while maintaining the unique identities that have made each brand so well loved.
“We’re very excited to welcome Ace Hill and Liberty Village into the Bench family,” said Matt Giffen, Founder and President of Bench Brewing Company. “These are two brands that truly understand what today’s drinkers are looking for, approachable, authentic, and better-for-you options. Our goal is to continue their story while helping them grow across Ontario, grounded in our values of craft and sustainability.”
Both brands will continue to operate under their existing identities, ensuring loyal customers can enjoy the same great products they know and love. With the support of Bench’s independent ownership, local operations, and sustainable brewing practices, Ace Hill and Liberty Village are well positioned to build deeper connections with consumers across the province.
With Ace Hill and Liberty Village now part of the Bench Brewing family, Ontario’s craft beverage landscape is poised for exciting growth. This union honors the distinct identities of each brand while offering connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike a broader range of high-quality, better-for-you options. As Bench continues to champion sustainability and local craftsmanship, consumers are invited to explore the expanded lineup and discover new favorites rooted in shared values and exceptional taste.
