All posts for the month February, 2012

As reported on Canadian Beer News and on their Facebook page, Shiretown Beer will shut down their beer production indefinitely in order to address a few brewing inconsistencies.  Fear not craft beer drinkers, both Picaroons and Pump House brews will remain available onsite at the Artisan Cafe & Brewpub in Dalhousie, N.B.

As someone who recently enjoyed their brews, here’s hoping they are back in production in the very near future.  I’ll post updates as they are available.

As posted previously, this year’s Beer Fest will take place March 22nd & 23rd from 7-10 pm at the St. John’s Convention Centre.  Tickets are $49.99 + HST which includes:

 

 

  • The chance to sample over 85 different beers
  • A booklet with beer descriptions and floor plan
  • $10 taxi voucher
  • Food & entertainment
  • A coupon for a 4 pack of cans of Key Stone Light

Local favorites Quidi Vidi Brewing and Yellow Belly Brewery are among those scheduled to attend.  Other Atlantic Canadian Breweries scheduled to be represented include Pump House Brewery (their new Premium Lager), Sleeman, Moosehead, Molson and Labatt.
