PARTNERS

OPO is thrilled to be riding with Bicycle Craft Brewery, an Ottawa-based brewing operation since 2014. Visit them, in their tap room and stay for a beer or take home some cans and merch from their retail shop. Their lineup is always changing, with a few consistent mainstays, and our brewers are always dreaming up something new.

OPO is also working with Farmgate Cider! Farmgate’s story started about 25 years ago. A wild apple tree was discovered on the border of what would become the Farmgate orchard. Over the next few years, more land was cleared, and trees were planted by the dozens. A little cider turned into a lot of cider, and the Davies Family wanted to share! So Farmgate was born: out of hard work, out of family, and out of a love of trees.
