Hopping Wolf is in the advance planning stages now. It will be in the Ottawa area, even though I realise that most of my sales will be in the GTA, Hamilton, Kitchener and export.
Two core brands are planned, a hoppy and bitter PacWest IPA (duh!) and a porter of some kind. The rest of the line-up will consist of "beers of the month", or 12 different beers per year available for one month at a time only. All beers will be available on draught, cask, and in bottles. The core brands will be submitted to the LCBO and some of the Beers Of The Month will be submitted for the various LCBO programs as well. Our retail outlet will of course have everything we sell available for home consumption.
We are setting up the financing, which is complicated and expensive, as we speak.
I will keep you all posted on the progress, which is painfully slow, as things come up.
In the meantime, keep supporting great beers and beer styles. Variety will only exist if we refuse to celebrate mediocrity.

I can't wait for this project to come to completion!

Mr. Mason I couldn't agree with you more. I love that comment as it really sums up what this whole site and it's followers are all about. Keep persevering with the project and I know our support will be there.

Cheers,

Dave

Great news on the brewery plans, and great advice to all lovers of beer! I'm really looking forward to your new offerings, and my wife and I will be enthusiastic supporters of your new enterprise!

This is huge news for the Ontario Brewing scene. Hope everything works out and we see Hopping Wolf sooner than later!

An Ontario micro doing 12 seasonals a year, all in bottles, is pretty exciting. Hopefully we'll be able to get our hands on a lot of what you produce here in Toronto.

Thank you Jesus. Perry opening a brewery is good for everyone.

And if you happen to need a reliable, hard-working man to help out around the place, let me know. I will accept beer as payment. :P
