We were in the first thing. I picked up two growlers and two bombers. Very impressed with the location and the beer

Couldn't make the trip this weekend. Will definitely make a stop over the summer.

I think he's got all remaining 650 mls filled for tomorrow, still handing out free logo glasses with those :cheers2:
Were you down on the weekend? Did he get the temp probe installed?

Love to see that locals have embraced the brewery!

Senior Nash, mind if I steal a pic or two for the blog? I'll do a write-up for Tuesday.

I've tried four times to go there now... I didn't know the hours of operating the first two times, screwed them up the third time, and the fourth time the sign said they sold out. :x

I think I'll wait until it comes out on Blueray

They are a little different....

Hell, if you looked at the home page, you wouldn't even know that they were open yet....

It sounds like Sea Level up here. He doesn’t advertise and doesn’t even have a sign on the building. I asked him why, and he says he works all the hours he can, and can’t keep up with demand. I think Canuck’s got the right idea.

I was hoping to stop by Friday around 2:00 but I can save the bother.

I tried the Town House on the way by and they were closed at 12:30.

I took a swing by Nat Pro to get some propane yesterday and the sign at the Brewery still read sold out. I "had my growlers with me just in case" as I always do, but no luck.

or let us organize a group buy

Any idea if Uncle Leo's is open today? I'm on the road to and from Arichat today so would have time to grab something on the way back.

Nope they're closed on Monday and Tuesday. What are you going to Arichat for? I grew up in D'Escousse.

We did the electrical design for the new shrimp plant. Quick trip up to review the new electrical gear.

Too bad about the brewery being closed. Oh well - we'll make it there sometime.
