TORONTO, ON – Lost Craft Beer has announced that it has purchased the brands and assets of fellow contract brewing operation Sextant Craft Brewery for an undisclosed amount.
“The transaction adds a refreshing American-style Pale Ale that is complimentary to Lost Craft’s core year-round product portfolio,” said Lost Craft founder and CEO Shehan De Silva in a statement. “Sextant’s flagship beer, Why So Sirius?, is well balanced and sessionable, consistent with Lost Craft’s brewing philosophy.”
Why So Sirius? will continue to be brewed at the Common Good contract brewing facility in Scarborough alongside the Lost Craft brands, and will be relaunched under the Lost Craft banner this spring.

- Greg C. is drinking a Bourbon Barrel Aged Dark Saison by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinPromising aroma with notes of spice, dark fruit, oak & vanilla. Flavour starts in the same direction but lacks depth and finishes light.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Holiday Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & Dufferin1+ year old bottle. Aroma of port and spice, notes that follow in the flavour plus cherry & menthol. Some booze heat despite the age. Nice.
- Greg C. is drinking an Oude Geuze (Vieille) by Brouwerij Oud Beersel at King & DufferinNot as lip-puckeringly sour or mind-bendingly complex as some lambics, but still an old fave that I always enjoy.
- Greg C. is drinking a No Love Lost Sour Cherry Saison by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinDelivers what the name promises - a rather good Saison laced with sour cherry that is unmistakably present but not overpowering.
- Greg C. is drinking a Coffee Oatmeal Stout by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinSurprisingly good for a 20-month-old bottle. Coffee is still nice & punchy, good notes of chocolate, oats & nuts in the background.
