I also will try and hook off work for this tomorrow, and yes I am sure we can get some to the island as well.

From their twitter feed: $5 deposit on 750ml growler. $5 for the Blonde and $6 for the Farmhouse. They will fill clean 1.89L growlers, too. $12.60 for the Blonde and $15.13 for the FH.

Does these numbers not work out for the rest of you?
...volumes to be 80,000 to 120,000 litres of beer — the equivalent of about 800 cases of beer

Strange. With rounding, a case is about 4L.

With their 5BBL system, they will have to brew 3-4 times per week to reach that production goal... Hmm.

That's a lot of labour and a lot of tanks.

Is 3-4 times a week unreasonable? I mean, they're supposed to be brewers...

Still, where do I pick up one of those 100l (or 150l) cases? 800 cases seems way too little, and 80,000 liters seems like a an ideal target for a business proposal that probably won't be reached.

80,000 L is just over 3 brews a week, 120,000 is five. Every week of the year, every single one. Jamil Zainasheff, in his pro-gasm series on Brew Strong, said a few months ago that's around the breaking point, depending on equipment costs and other overhead. That probably doesn't hold up in Canada, but I hope they make it. If they do, I know that will be the evidence for a few more people to try it.

CA and P and I were there 15min early, and got to witness the sign being bolted to the building. Plus we bought the first growlers! They've also got glasses ($5+tax) and t-shirts ($13+t, S, M, sold out of L, XL (which I bought but is very form fitting)) for sale.
No license, so no tasting on-site.
