Keep6 Imports is a independent, family run, craft beer import agency based in Toronto, Ontario. With our collective experience as bar owners, brewers and graphic designers we’ve created a unique agency that promotes craft beer in the Canadian province of Ontario.

Keep6 Imports actively promotes the local interest of craft beer, and the larger craft movement as a whole. Being part of the industry for over twenty years, we share in the respect, passion, and devotion that brewers have for their craft.

Our goal is to elevate the demand for craft beer and showcase independent breweries that we think will have a unique and special place in the Ontario market. At Keep6 Imports we will use our talents and enthusiasm to represent our craft breweries in Ontario - All in the pursuit of great beer!
