Railway City Brewing brings back updated honey elixir using local apiary honey

Railway City Brewing in St. Thomas, Ontario, has brought back an updated Honey Elixir, leveraging the health benefits of honey as a key marketing angle The Crag and Canyon. The brewery sources liquid honey from an apiary just 20 kilometres away, working with Clovermead, a bee-themed adventure park in the region.
The move comes as Railway City continues to make waves in Ontario's craft beer scene. Dead Elephant, the brewery's top-selling IPA, won the IPA category at the Ontario Brewing Awards and earned speaker's choice honours when St. Thomas's Steve Peters held the position of Speaker of the Ontario Legislature London Free Press.
The Honey Elixir represents a nostalgic nod to old-time medicine shows, blending craft beer with storytelling The Crag and Canyon. Railway City uses the honey-based product to tap into growing interest in natural ingredients and health-conscious branding. The brewery's partnership with Clovermead strengthens local connections while ensuring a steady supply of quality honey.
Dead Elephant has become Railway City's flagship beer, earning the IPA category win at the Ontario Brewing Awards London Free Press. The beer's appeal spans beyond beer lovers. It resonated strongly with Steve Peters when he served as Speaker of the Ontario Legislature, securing the speaker's choice award. Success like this helps Railway City stand out in Ontario's crowded craft beer market.
Railway City has renamed its flagship lager, Crew, and rebranded 2025's Elbows Up offering The Crag and Canyon. The brewery is also scaling back its event calendar. No brewery events are planned after Labour Day, signalling a shift in how the company engages with its community going forward.
Stonehooker, a competing brewery in Mississauga, Ontario, will close its doors unless a buyer steps forward The Crag and Canyon. The fate of the brewery now rests on finding an investor willing to take on the operation. This closure would represent a loss in Ontario's already-fragmented craft beer landscape.
