Re: Breton Brewing announced
Cool stuff. Andrew, what styles do you guys plan on brewing?
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Breton Brewing announced
Still working out a few details on the styles but we will announce them as soon as possible. Great to have such knowledgable craft beer fans and brewers in Nova Scotia. We hope we make the Brewnosers proud!LiverDance wrote:Cool stuff. Andrew, what styles do you guys plan on brewing?

Re: Breton Brewing announced
Thanks man! I was at a grain pickup before. Chris was up to see us once. Hard to make it up to the meetings which I regret every time I see the plethora of great beer and food to be had! Now that we'll be travelling the province more we hope to connect more often. It has been awhile in the making but we've done our homework, have had great support and can't wait to get more craft beer flowing in Nova Scotia!LeafMan66_67 wrote:I thought you were, and may have even met you at one point.

Craft beer is continuing to grow in Nova Scotia, with Cape Breton's second small brewery opening this spring.

Just a heads up. They will not fill other growlers. I had a BS and BN growler refused and I can't store another Growler.
