Wondering if there is a group formed in Newfoundland

Post by noel.grandy » Mon Sep 15, 2014 8:46 am

wondering if there is a brew group formed in newfoundland. or if there is a separate forum discussion from newfoundlanders, looking to get in on bulk supplies and to possibly meet some brewers as i get back into it after our move from halifax.

This is the only one I know of

http://www.beerthief.ca/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

we have a lot of members on there from NFLD and we would be more than happy to help you out in any way we can.
"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.

The forum isn't as active as this one, but as you'll see they also have a beer club that let's you purchase beer/other booze that you couldn't afford to get sent to the NLC yourself.

If you like, we could set up a Newfoundland sub-forum as we've done for other region-specific groups. All you need is a funky/funny/good name. (Funky name not strictly required :) )

It would be a great idea to have a Newfoundland subsection.
Take care, Bluefin.

I don't think I can create sub-forums, so we'll wait for a good name, and then Jimmy can create it.
It will join the other Location-based groups in the Events area of the forum, I hope that's OK.
