King Brewery was a brewery in Nobleton, Ontario, Canada which won a number of awards. It operated in a traditional German style, producing lagers. Owner and brewmaster Philip DiFonzo gained input from over 200 bars, pubs, taverns, and restaurants before launching in July 2002 with a single Czech-style Bohemian Pilsner. King Brewery's 20 hectolitre brewhouse with a steam-fired kettle was one of very few authentic Decoction Brew houses in Canada. This popular method of brewing in Germany is rare in Canada as it takes longer and is a more expensive brewing process.

The King Brewery Pilsner has won a gold medal at the Canadian Brewing Awards, in the class "European Style Lager (Pilsner)",[1][2] as well as the 2004 Toronto Star Beer of the Year.[3]

The King Brewery Dark Lager has won a bronze medal in the class "Dark Lager".[2]

King Brewery was purchased in 2015 by Thornbury Beverages Company (now Thornbury Village Craft Cider & Beer). King Brewery's core beers (Pilsner, Dark Lager and Vienna Lager) were reintroduced under the Thornbury brand.
