    Join us at Monigram Coffee Roasters for a gourmet tasting of 3 different coffees from around the world, with tasting notes of each presented by the owner, Monica Braun. This will be followed by a light lunch and a demonstration of the coffee roasting and grinding process.

    Established in 2012 by Monica and Graham Braun, Monigram Coffee Roasters has become a beloved part of Cambridge’s small business community. The name combines “Monica” and “Graham,” reflecting their shared vision of quality coffee and community connection. Located in a restored century-old building in Galt, the café offers a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of free parking. Known for exceptional small-batch roasting and thoughtfully sourced beans, Monigram provides coffee of outstanding quality and character. Their signature espresso forms the base for popular drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and americanos, prepared with care by skilled baristas in a friendly, inclusive environment.

    Monigram Coffee embraces specialty coffee as a balance of quality, relationships, research, and curiosity. It starts with carefully sourced green beans from dedicated farmers, chosen for their origin and unique growing conditions. Each coffee is roasted with purpose to highlight its distinct character and story. Skilled baristas then brew it with care to preserve that individuality, offering customers not just exceptional flavour but an experience that captures the feeling and connection coffee can inspire.

    Cost $40.00/person

    Join us for a Sleeman Brewery tour and light lunch.

    After the tour, Sleeman will do a curated sampling of 3 Sleeman products. After that, drinks are billed to the individual should they choose to have more. Also, members can buy beer from their beer store along with other merchandise.

    The Sleeman name has been immersed in beer tradition for five generations. In fact, the Sleeman family wrote the book on it — literally. The Sleeman brewing tradition in Canada extends back to 1834 when John H. Sleeman arrived in Ontario from Cornwall, England. By 1851, he started the first Sleeman brewery to be located in Guelph, Ontario, brewing small 100-barrel batches.

    "Sleeman Breweries is Canada’s third-largest national brewer. We may have become a bigger company, but we have never lost sight of our original vision to bring Canadians better beer."

    "We’ve built an incredible portfolio of beer brands in Canada: great Canadian brands such as Sleeman, Okanagan Spring, Unibroue and Wild Rose, combined with world-class beers such as Sapporo, Old Milwaukee and Pabst Blue Ribbon."

    "No matter what you’re looking for in a beer, we’re sure we have something you’ll love."
