5 Paddles Brewing Company
5 Paddles is a boutique brewery that has been in production for just over 2 years. In those 2 years, they have managed to brew over 100 different recipes! The name stems from each member having a hand in the beer making process, or as they say, “a mash paddle”. Unlike most breweries that have a flagship beer available, 5 Paddles likes to keep things interesting with an ever-changing selection of beer. Check them out Whitby and learn a little bit more about the craft of beer.
