Collective Arts

Collective Arts makes banging beers with amazing art. Founded in 2013 by Bob Russell and Matt Johnston, and located in Canada’s former manufacturing town of Hamilton, Ontario, Collective arts fuses the creativity of craft beverages with the inspired talents of artists from around the world.

From the outset, founders Russell and Johnston put their faith in the two-pronged mission statement that “creativity fosters creativity” and, in turn, “creativity yields delicious pints.” They maintain that being surrounded by so much art helps inspire creative brewing processes. Their porter Stranger than Fiction took on a bronze award at the 2016 World Beer Cup.
