New Ottawa Brewery Opens - Broadhead Brewery

Ottawa is once again welcoming another brewery to the capital city as the Broadhead Brewing Co. opened for business yesterday.

From their website:

WHAT IS BROADHEAD?
Broadhead is a scrappy little beer company that aims to do big things. It's the underdog - a long shot, a dark horse. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in spirit. With five feisty, flavourful ales brewed through good old-fashioned hard work and know-how, Broadhead proudly pays homage to the perfect pint.

The brewery, which is the work four homebrewing friends in the greater Ottawa area, is situated at 81 Auriga Drive (unit #27) in Ottawa and they have plans to produce five different beers ranging from a Pale Ale to a Stout. Individuals can currently purchase 20L kegs of their Underdog Pale, Backbone Standard and Long Shot White. Future beers will include Gritstone Amber and Dark Horse Stout.

Josh Larocque, one of the founders of the brewery, mentioned during a brief phone conversation that they are working on a keg fridge program that will allow customers to purchase a fully functioning keggerator ready to go; lines, tower and all, at a very reasonable price, just to enjoy the Broadhead beers. He also mentioned that an order of growlers have been ordered and they should be ready to sell in November.

So awesome! I want to do something like this on the left coast too, it's just finding like-minded individuals to help shoulder some of the burden. Nothing too huge, maybe a 3BBL Nano to start...
