Collective Arts Brewing is a craft brewery in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, founded by Matt Johnston and Bob Russell. It is a grassroots craft brewery whose mandate is to combine "the craft of brewing with the inspired talents of emerging and seasoned artists, musicians, photographers & filmmakers".

Beers

Beer brewing is headed by brewmaster Ryan Morrow, producing 6 craft beers that are available year-round, in addition to multiple seasonal brews. They produce a variety of different brews, including the Ransack the Universe India Pale Ale, World Beer Cup winning Stranger than Fiction Porter, and their Rhyme & Reason Extra Pale Ale. The brewery also produces their "Collective Project" which features different seasonal beers created by the brewmasters and cider in two flavours.

The company's Audio/Visual Lager publicizes independent musicians with special limited edition band-themed cans, rotating every few months to promote a new selection of four artists.

Collective Arts products are available across Canada in a variety of retailers including the LCBO in Ontario. Products also available in the Northeast USA states; Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Illinois . Collective Arts also ships beer to Italy, Spain, Sweden and to Melbourne, Australia.

Art Initiatives

Collective Arts Brewing invites artists and musicians to submit their work in bi-yearly Calls for Art. Since the first art and music call in May 2013 over 16,000 submissions have been received from artists and musicians representing over 40 countries. Art and music is chosen by guest curators. Each artist is paid to appear on the labels. Collective Arts does not own the art but is allowed to use it on cans and bottles for a limited period of time. To date, Collective Arts Brewing have produced and compensated over 650 artists and musicians for appearing on limited edition cans and bottle labels.

The company also features all of the artists and musicians on their website, including "The Black Box Sessions" in partnership with Indie88 Studios, showcasing Indie and Alternative artists.
