Manitoba needed a few more breweries to help spread the craft beer word so Torque gathered up a team and started writing a business plan and swinging hammers. In August 2016, they sent their first canned beer out to the masses that is how they started, how they became Torque Brewery.

We are intertwined with nature. When you take a look on the label of this beer it consists of the drawings that the Khoisan tribe left on the cave walls in South Africa. They lived in the mountains, where they left their rock art right in the depths of nature. Beer is art relates beer being art to these drawings that were left on the caves by the Khoisan.
The Khoisan drew paintings on the cave walls to tell a story, a story of how they are living , what happened so that the next generation can read the stories that they left for them and get to know who they were and know their roots. Beer is telling a story, the beer that we make now it is not the beer that they will be making in the next 200 years. The people who will be living in those times will be using the beer that we are making this time the history that we are making as reference.
They will learn about the aromas that we prefer and the tastes that we prefer. Some of the natural resources that we are using now will be extinct or would have evolved. They will read the stories that we have left for them and learn of what kind of people we were what are our likes and dislikes and the barley, hops we used to harvest and our water quality that is influencing our beer. Beer means nature; it is the grand mothers who harvested the sorghum and corn to make traditional beer. This generation does not embrace the art of beer making it can be craft beer or traditional beer. When the grandmothers pass on people will not know where to get the knowledge from.
Soon they will blame big cooperation’s for taking their knowledge; where else they did not preserve it. This beer will inspire the South African youth to get into the beer industry seeing that nothing is impossible when you work hard Knowledge is being stolen from the Khoisan, they are the most intelligent people to live in South Africa and some still exist today. They harvest the land for food and medicine a lot of their inventions are stolen by science and biology.

The ability to mass-produce grains like barley and wheat, coupled with usage of yeast, led to the discovery of food items like bread. Grain and yeast are also the building blocks of beer. According to historical records, beer could have been as important as bread for early civilizations.
It is through the stories that Beer is Art wrote on this label of the saison beer that they hope that it will educate people most importantly beer is art understands that in communities whereby people are poor beer is abused.
