Does Downeast have any NSLC listings? Are they available outside of their own taproom? That would rule them out I would think
In the link from Todd's blog I shared above, Downeast is one of the NS brewers getting listings this spring. Same as Big Spruce, Trider's, and 2 Crows. Website also shows 3 beers in cans.

I just don't think it could be Hell Bay for a bunch of reasons, but I been wrong before though. There was rumours around there are 4 breweries up for sale in NS. With the money flowing into brewing right now there will be a couple roll the dice I figure
It's the "small taproom" that leads me to Hell Bay, or at least away from a full brewpub type place like Downeast.

Anyone have any luck making contact? I can't seem to find any means of messaging on Probrewer or any other contact info.
I messaged them via jason, since I can't post on probrewer as well. Still no response. People on probrewer really suck to respond.

they have a listing but at 18.00 for a 4 pack it will be a tough sell

Always a chance I could be wrong, as I'm hearing this 2nd hand.

I work with someone related to Mark of Hell Bay (well actually I think he may be his former brother in law...) - don't see him often around the plant, but if I can think of it, I'll see if he knows anything about it. I know another person that's loosely connected on the business side that said they know nothing about them trying to sell - but of course that doesn't mean it can't be true.

I know of someone who spoke to Mark directly and was told they weren't looking for a buyer. Now if only the Probrewer user would reply to interested parties...

OK so I guess the question becomes which brewery owner has long spiked up brightly coloured hair then?

Stopped in waiting for Erin to finish work.... $9.35 for a pint of their 4.5% stout. Very expensive. $2.50-3 or so more than an average brewery pint.

Beer in Calgary is ridiculously over priced. At Craft and National they are charging $6.75 for a 14oz sleeve.

It's $6 actually (unless they put it up yet again), and that's up from the $5 they charged up until Xmas! Hahaha :lol:
