Bench Brewing Acquires Ace Hill and Liberty Village to Expand Ontario Craft Beverage Offerings

Bench Brewing Company is taking a major step forward in its mission to deliver premium craft beverages across Ontario. By acquiring the Ace Hill and Liberty Village brands, Bench is blending innovation with tradition to offer a more diverse and inclusive portfolio. This move not only broadens its reach but also reinforces its commitment to quality, sustainability, and community-driven brewing.

According to a press release from Bench Brewing Company, both brands will continue to operate under their existing identities, ensuring loyal customers can enjoy the same great products they know and love. 

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.”

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.

Ontario’s craft beverage scene is evolving, and Bench Brewing is leading the charge. With Ace Hill and Liberty Village now under its wing, the brewery is poised to offer fans a wider, more dynamic selection of drinks that stay true to their roots. It’s the perfect time to rediscover your favorites—or find new ones—crafted with care and brewed for the community.
