All About Auntie Bea's 🐝
A Local “Buzzing” Business Collaboration Makes a Bee-Licious Beverage
We are thrilled to announce a buzzing collaboration between two companies with deep Manitoba agriculture roots – Farmery Estate Brewery and Bee Maid Honey Limited.
Farmery and BeeMaid have collaborated to produce a 4% alcoholic beverage line called “Auntie Bea’s Hard Brewed Teas”, and a non-alcoholic beverage line for the grocery and convenience store channel, “Auntie Bea’s Cold Brewed Tea”. Sweetened with the golden goodness of BeeMaid Honey, “Auntie Bea’s” is available in three flavours: Lemon, Peach, and Blackberry.
When Farmery conceptualized creating a beverage line sweetened with honey, they knew they had to connect with Bee Maid Honey Limited, a cooperative of Canadian beekeepers since 1954. “We were intrigued by the idea of using local honey as a sweetener, because of its more natural and healthy taste and flavour, and we wanted to support Western Canadian apiaries,” says Chris Warwaruk, co-owner of Farmery. “After an extensive product development process, we are about to launch our Auntie Bea’s beverages—and can’t wait for people to try them out!”
Guy Chartier, CEO of BeeMaid adds, “We appreciate that Farmery wanted to support local beekeepers by formulating their products with honey and that they chose Bee Maid for this collaboration. We are pleased with the smooth and subtle sweetness of the Auntie Bea’s line and have thoroughly enjoyed working with Farmery.”
Both Farmery and BeeMaid share a commitment to quality and product authenticity. By harnessing the natural sweetness of BeeMaid Honey, Farmery Estate Brewery has crafted a range of beverages that not only tantalize the taste buds but also pay homage to our shared rural routes. Each sip of Auntie Bea's is a celebration of the simple pleasures and the bounty of our land.
We couldn't be more excited to share these new product creations with you all! Stay tuned for updates on availability and where you can experience the magic of Auntie Bea's firsthand and discover why every sip is like a warm embrace from Auntie Bea herself! Let's raise a glass to the spirit of collaboration and the rich tapestry of rural Manitoba!
