Introductions Are In Order

Introductions Are In Order

Introductions Are In Order When I was putting together the website for the store I wanted to make sure that we had a detailed “About US” page to make sure people knew who they were buying from. I for one don’t like that feeling of buying from a faceless business – as much as it is sometimes a necessity in our current times. The about us page that I finally settled on for the store comes across a bit too business like in my opinion.

Opening A Business in The Time of COVID-19

Opening A Business in The Time of COVID-19

It’s safe to say that Derek and I have been in one way or another planning this small business venture for quite a while. Unfortunately COVID-19 has of course impacted many businesses – big & small – all over the world, and here in New Brunswick we are not immune. Opening a business in the time of COVID-19 has been a unique experience. Fortunately we have always planned to build this business with the mindset of starting very small with hopes of building up the local home brewing community and in turn the business. This small footprint means that we...
