“We want to find new ways to refresh our community, whether it’s with new products, new events, or new ways of doing business right.”
Upstreet quickly made a name for itself as a leader in community outreach. In their first year they launched the Do Good Fund, which raises money to help support Island arts initiatives, and offered their taproom to the community groups to hold fundraisers, offering them $1 from every pint sold. They have contributed to countless non-profit organizations and fundraisers, and have demonstrated a commitment to supporting other local businesses. Since day one, they have punched above their weight in this area and as such were recognized with Startup Canada’s 2016 Social Enterprise Award. They were also recognized by the Charlottetown Chamber of Commerce as Emerging Business of the Year, and their beer has won a number of Atlantic Canadian Beer Awards. Mitch, Mike and the whole Upstreet family have proven that a bit of fun, a willingness to give back, and close attention to quality can be a recipe for success, and they have no plans to slow down.
