Canada, ON: Halo Brewery working towards spring 2016 opening

After almost of year of searching, Halo Brewery has found a location in Toronto’s west end, and is now working towards being open by spring 2016, Canadian Beer News reported on November 12.

Co-founded by long-time homebrewers Eric Portelance and Callum Hay, Halo will be located at 247 Wallace Ave. near Bloor and Lansdowne, and will be an “open source” brewery, with recipes for all of its beers posted online for other brewers to view and use and they see fit.

According to a press release, Halo will focus on beers that “highlight flavour pairings that are delicious but uncommon in the industry.” Initial releases from the brewery will include “a Belgian Tripel with wildflower honey and chamomile, a double dry-hopped Pale Ale, an elderberry and elderflower Malt Cider, and a lemon-apricot tart Saison.”
