The History of the Second Wedge Brewing Co’s Building

The journey of The Second Wedge Brewing Co. is a tale of resilience, determination, and the transformative power of passion. Situated in a building with a rich history, its story begins with Harvey Acton Ltd., the original occupant, which later relocated to a larger space east of town. The building then housed Newmarket Precast until 2004, when Freed Investments Inc. took ownership, followed by Decor Electric Ltd. in 2008.

However, the building’s history took a dramatic turn when it was revealed to be the site of an illegal grow operation. Subsequent legal actions led to its sale once more.

In July 2015, Rod and Joanne, after an extensive search, secured the lease and embarked on a journey to transform the space into The Second Wedge Brewing Co. Despite facing challenges, including a devastating tornado in May 2022, they persevered. After extensive renovations, they proudly reopened their doors on July 15, 2023, marking a triumphant return to the Uxbridge community.

In late 2015 The Second Wedge Brewing Co. opened its doors to the public.
