Creemore Springs is a microbrewery located in Creemore, Ontario, Canada, which first opened in 1987. The brewery is known for not using preservatives during the brew process, or pasteurizing afterwards. Because of this, they recommend perpetual refrigeration. The brewery states that it only uses four ingredients in its brewing process - malted barley, hops, water, and yeast.
The brewery uses water exclusively from an artesian well in its brewing process. The water comes from the Creemore Spring located on one of the founder's property. It is trucked from the source to the brewery daily in 10,000 L truckloads; each truckload contains enough water to brew one batch.
Their flagship beer, a premium lager, is an American amber/red lager style, much more amber in color than Czech pilsener (which the brewery has said is the inspiration for their beers).
Creemore Springs was acquired by Molson on April 22, 2005.
They were the second Ontario brewer – after Hockley Valley – to offer their product for sale in cans.
In 2009 Creemore Springs applied for planning permission to expand their plant by 60% in order to triple their brewing capacity to 150,000 hL per year. The location of such as large industrial plant in downtown Creemore has generated a lot of debate.

Famous quotes containing the word springs:
“Who among us has not, in moments of ambition, dreamt of the miracle of a form of poetic prose, musical but without rhythm and rhyme, both supple and staccato enough to adapt itself to the lyrical movements of our souls, the undulating movements of our reveries, and the convulsive movements of our consciences? This obsessive ideal springs above all from frequent contact with enormous cities, from the junction of their innumerable connections.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
