Unfortunately we are sold out of Pulp, we knew we would be busy but did not anticipate selling out in one day

Sorry to everyone who could not make it yesterday

Ugh that sucks. Will Volo, Bar Hop or any other Toronto bars be getting any kegs at least?

Nice piece. Looks like my hopes for them to scale up or move closer to Toronto will remain dreams.

Nice article about the brewery I spend most of my beer money on. Good people making good beer... it’s what this entire industry has boiled down to for me.

If they move into the country, my guess would be towards Brantford. Shellfishly that would suck as it’s in the opposite direction as me, but my guess is that’s still a few years off. I’ll relish the 35 minute commute until then.

Are there any plans for Barncat to start bottling or canning their pale ales that are always only available for growler/howler fills? It's hard for me to get out there, and I'm sort of weary of asking trading partners to ship me those things in the mail. Anyone have experience with shipping growlers/howlers while we're at it?

And ask about an online shop for Barncat too, but one thing at a time! :)

We are extremely excited to announce the release of our collaboration with our very good friends Badlands Brewing!

Catlands is a double IPA brewed with Cara Cara oranges and hopped intensely with Mosaic. Available for growler fills starting this Friday at our brewery.

Going to Barncat on Friday, is there anywhere else in the C-W-G area worth stopping in for?

Rhythm and Brews beers are ok, from the 5 or 6 I’ve had but nothing special. The space itself is pretty cool though, it’s ablut 500 meters around the corner from Barncat.
Northworks does Crowlers if your interested in that. Their Mosiac Smash is really tasty. The place is literally a hole in the wall though.
Wellington has some nice beers available right now, including some different varieties of of the UVB76 line(BBA impy stouts) I picked up their Pink peppercorn sour ipa last weekend and liked it a fair bit. The tap room at Wellington is a cool spot now, and they offer free tours on saturdays.

But in all honesty if it were me, I’d just be spending all my money at barncat
