Pumphouse Brewery Welcomes Back Greg Nash

Well it didn't take long for the colourful Greg Nash to land another brewing job. News coming from Beer Advocate, posted by an employee of Pumphouse Brewery in Moncton New Brunswick, has Nash re-joining his old employer for another kick at the can (or should I say tank?)

This is welcome news to beer fans in Atlantic Canada. If you read this blog regularly, you will have noticed I am a big fan of what Nash brings to the Canadian brewing industry, as he showed during his time with the Garrison Brewing co.

I spoke with him yesterday afternoon and he confirmed that he has accepted an offer from Pumphouse. "I am thrilled to be back with Pumphouse and look forward to working with the brewing team. I should be starting within two weeks, but I have already gone out to get some supplies and I am anxious to get back into the brew house and having some fun", Nash stated.

Pumphouse has two brewing locations, one for distribution and the other in their brew pub, where Nash feels he'll be able to let loose and play around with some recipes.

It will be interesting to keep an eye on the Garrison Brewing Co and the Pumphouse Brewery now that they've swapped brewers.

Oh, how long was Nash at The
Pumphouse previously? Why did he leave?

You'll have to ask him that question.

I know he was there years ago before coming to the Halifax harbour to brew for Shippeys.

Not 100% sure why he left?
