Why Roof Hound?
Many years ago, there was a man with many children. Eleven, in fact. He had so many children that he had very little money to spare for recreational drink. So, this man decided to make his own.He put water, raisins, brown sugar and yeast in a bucket, and placed that bucket behind the wood stove where it fermented and turned to alcohol. The man enjoyed his liquid creation, and poured the swollen raisins out in the backyard, where the family hound dog found them. The hound ate those alcohol-plumped raisins, climbed up the woodpile, and onto the roof of the house. There in its drunkenness, the hound moaned and howled throughout the night. The man’s many children found this very entertaining, and henceforth the story became part of the family folklore. Today, the grandson of that man keeps this story alive with Roof Hound Brewing Co. and Big Brown Roof Hound Ale made with raisins and brown sugar.
This is the story of the Roof Hound

Nice! Any plans for branded stickers? I like adding them to my jockey box.

We chatted with Les for the blog, and he was kind enough to share lots of great info about his brewery plans, and what he could about MasterChef Canada. Looking like a summer 2016 opening of Roof Hound!

Very cool! I love the rate at which new breweries are opening. Such a healthy craft beer scene in the Maritimes :-)

Just having a beer at Roof Hound. Down for the weekend taking in some of the wharf rat rally so I figured I better stop in for a beer. Beer tastes great!
