Townshend Brewery Officially shuts down production

Yep, I'm not brewing any more (here). Townshend Brewery is shutting its doors and the proprietor will work hard to burn through the cellar inventory before the brewing equipment is moved to a new production facility at the end of November, the new brew-house hopes to retain the services of the currect head brewer and begin production at the beginning of December.

I was hoping to squeeze in one more brew session this weekend for 'All About Ales' but I've noticed my winners from TBW are not aging well. It seems like a convenient time to replace my tubing, racking cane, bottling wand, etc. and bleach the shit out of all my glass. No sense in bringing any critters with and let a new 'house flavor' develop itself.

A bigger hop-yard that is less vulnerable to Cumberland County winds is also planned, with the possibility of growing under contract to a Halifax area brewmaster.

Ah, who the fuck am I kidding - I can't not brew until early December. I threw together a half batch of Fishdisease's ginger beer (http://www.brewnosers.org/forums/viewto ... inger+beer" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) this evening.
