New Brewery

The_Jester · Post by **The_Jester** » Mon Jan 07, 2013 8:27 pm

According to my highly-placed confidential sources, the brewing scene in the Peterborough area will be adding a new member this summer.

Two brothers, one a long-time homebrewer who recently studied the art in Belgium, have bought a building in beautiful downtown Millbrook (south of Peterborough), and have begun to renovate. The plan is to begin small, but to eventually expand to a full restaurant/brewpub. Equipment has been ordered from out west, and the plan is to open this summer.

None of this has been confirmed by anyone; it's just stuff I've heard around the rink(s).

For some reason, I've got the Monty Python song "Here Comes Another One" stuck in my head this week.

Next year, I hope the song stuck in your head isn't "Another One Bites the Dust."

As a long time homebrewer, this is great news. I live in the township of Cavan and am in Millbrook quite often. One thing is for sure, water quantity will not be a problem. Water is everywhere, but with lots of iron.

Thanks Jester

Wonderful. My mum lives out around there. I hope it turns out good.

i just wonder how many of these people have business plans, projections, proper financing, etc.

i wish everyone the best of luck, but you need more than luck to succeed. especially if you're opening a brewpub in a smaller city/town.

Yup. Rising tide lifts all boats... but a lot of those boats aren't particularly sea-worthy. Seem to be quite a few people banking on th idea that the craft beer craze will last forever.

Millbrook isn't far from Peterborough. I'll do my part to keep those taps from getting dry.

I know, I think craft beer is nearly dead already. Premium wines are already starting to tank in sales, and people are going back to drinking washer fluid.

But I know what you mean, the new and hopeful brewers caught in the upward frenzy won't all survive here. Just like anyplace with a growing craft beer culture. It will sort itself out.

Noticed workers working on the outside of a building next to the Post Office in Millbrook. This may be the future home of this Brew Pub. I'll check it out soon.
