It was a no brainer to partner with him on this venture and I’m proud to be the other half of Barncat Artisan Ales

As Jeremy said we still have a ton of work to do but one of us keep this community updated as things come together.

cheers

Congrats Matt (and Jeremy)!

Every homebrew I've had from Matt has been great to outstanding. I look forward to partaking in Barncat!

Really looking forward to this. I drive past Cambridge every day for work. I'll be making some purchases for sure.

Awesome! The homebrews I've seen posted sound great. And it's always good to have a new brewery in my backyard.

Sick news, dudes! I'm seriously so stoked for this, and I wish the both of you all the best in the venture. Can't wait to try the beers that come out of the place. Cheers!

Bold statement, but as long as there are no issues with scaling up, this will potentially be the best brewery in Ontario.

At least until you doomed them to failure with that statement! :wink:

I believe in them, The Nightman Cometh was scaled up just fine.

Congrats Jeremy and Matt.

Jeremy - I've had the pleasure of only having tried a couple of your homebrews, but they've been top class. Extremely excited to trying whatever you decide to brew going forward.

Best of luck!

That's still my measuring stick for Black IPA's. It's the only beer I've had that Jeremy had had a hand in, but I'm super excited on that alone. Did a couple trades with Matt several years and and was super impressed with his his homebrew, so excitement is squared!

It's going to be God damn awesome to stop by your guys brewery for fresh beer after a long summer day flyfishing the Grand!

Thanks for all the love you guys. The bar has been set very high for us, but we wouldn't want it any other way.
