Home of the BrewNosers

Hello Brewnosers. My name is Chris and I live in Cavan, Ontario. I brew electric and have been since 2003. I have noticed that homebrewing has picked up right across the country, which is great.

Always ice to have new people here - even if they are Upper Canadians!

I'm originally from the other end of Highway 7 myself (3.5 hours away)- a former Ottawa Valley boy.

I consider myself an Ottawa Valley boy, too, though I was born in the UK, but I'm from the top end of the valley.

Top end meaning Pembroke/Petawawa area or farther north. My brother currently lives in Deep River and works at AECL.

Welcome McGruff!
You're not the furthest west of the Brewnosers, but you are helping us expand our territory! Would love to hear about good beer bars/stores/brewpubs in your 'hood for those of us who travel. There should be a Beer Abroad thread somewhere.

Cheers!

welcome

I am from Peterborough. We have two local breweries. Olde Stone House and The Publican House. They both make good beer, nothing stands out as fantatic, but good beer anyways. Toronto has a lot of breweries and great pubs for local craft beer. I just never get there enough to seek them out. I am a small town person, Toronto kind of drives me nuts, but they got a ton of great beer.

I'm from the big T stink, but lived for years in Guelph. I thought that was small town until I moved out here. Peterborough IS a big city in these parts.

Oh and
