Ireland (centre) and his Bearhill Brewing co-founders and best friends, Socrates Korogonas (right) and Alex Derksen (left), came together in 2005 to turn their love of beer and the community they were raised in, into a business. Jasper Brewing Co. was born and now nearly 15 years later, Bearhill Brewing consists of four brewpubs across Alberta.
