The Prince Edward Island Brewing Company was established in February 2012, and immediately an expansion of the brewery was undertaken. Under the leadership of Jeff Squires, the company built a brand new brewery at 96 Kensington Road in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, which opened in May of 2013. Working with international beer experts, the PEI Brewing Company won Gold and Silver Medals at the 2012 Canadian Brewing Awards and a Silver Medal at the 2013 Canadian Brewing Awards. The new state-of-the-art facility features the latest technology available in the brewing industry, built by Diversified Metal Engineering of Charlottetown.
