Just a thank you to Iain for showing me the brewery a couple of weeks ago. I very much enjoyed his beers and thanks for the opportunity to taste them. I visited Jasper brewing and then Granville Island when I returned to Vancouver. I wanted to return to Yaletown but time was against me. I wish you well in your future ventures.
We are due to start our new brewhouse in February. We will have much more flexibility especially with hops. Might be difficult to get English drinkers used to the likes of “Cascadian”! You never know we might try it!!
