With balanced protein, satisfying texture, and zero preservatives, it’s fuel that actually tastes like a treat.

Sheepdog Brew Co - Sheepdog Brew Co. is a nitro cold brew company based in Winnipeg, where we roast and brew everything in-house. Our cold brew is strong, smooth, and ready to drink, with zero sugar or additives. Available in cans and concentrate, it's built for people who like their coffee simple, effective, and made right.

There is no guarantee that you will get in!  We only offer this if a paid ticket holder does not show up. Only at that time, do we allow people in at the door in.  Purchasing a paid ticket ahead of time is the only way to ensure you will get in. If you are hoping to get in with friends or family who have paid tickets and you do not,  this is a risk and there is no promise or guarantee you will get in or get in right away.

Those who are wanting to pay for admission at the door should expect longer wait times (especially if you show up during ticket holder check in times).
