I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Matt and I am a longtime PEI all grain home brewer. I've always enjoyed brewing although it definitely has its frustrating moments since there is a complete lack of availability with regards to real brewing supplies and ingredients, not only here on PEI but in the Maritimes in general. You folks in Halifax are lucky to have some great options such as Everwoodave and Nobel Grape where you can pick up these things but in many other places (such as PEI) it is impossible to find malt, hops, decent (or constant supply) of yeast or any type of all grain brewing supplies for that matter.
So I decided to do something about that. I am currently in the process of setting up shop as "East Coast Hoppers Homebrew Supply" to offer just those things. I plan to start out online but am hoping to setup a storefront in Charlottetown. We are in the mid to final stages of preparing the website so we are not quite ready for business yet but we just wanted to let everyone know that we are coming. We are family owned and independently funded and operated.
Please feel free to sign up for updates and get an email when we launch our grand opening. I've asked Jimmy to set me up a spot in the Venders section so I will also post updates there to keep anyone that is interested informed.
Cheers!
Matt
