Canada, BC: Wolf Brewing to triple brewing capacity

In a recent Nanaimo News Bulletin article, brewer Kev Ward of Wolf Brewing tells the paper that an upcoming expansion will see the brewery doubling its space and tripling its brewing capacity.

“We decided that it was time to expand,” Ward is quoted as saying, “so we’ve got a brand new brewhouse and new tanks all being hand-built up in the Okanagan. We like to keep everything as B.C. as possible – grain, hops, everything, and that includes getting our tanks built as well up in Okanagan by a fellow named Ed Ripley, who’s a really excellent fabricator.”

In addition to helping Wolf to meet the increasing demand for its four existing brands – Golden Honey Ale, Red Brick India Pale Ale, Rannoch Scotch Ale and Black Tail Porter – the expansion will also allow Ward to add several new brands to the portfolio, with a West Coast style Pale Ale and an ESB both being planned.
