Canada, NB: Moosehead Breweries to add small batch brewhouse to its primary facility in Saint John

Moosehead Breweries has announced plans to add a small batch brewhouse to its primary brewery at 89 Main Street West in Saint John, Canadian Beer News reported on September 8.

According to the announcement, the new brewery will “feature a 20-barrel brewing system and a 3-barrel pilot system, allowing Moosehead to create new beers in smaller quantities for offer at retail, on-site in the tap room or at bars and restaurants.” The facility will also include a tap room, growler station, beer store, and merchandise shop.

“As a company, we’re excited to have the flexibility to experiment in ways that can be difficult within our primary brewhouse,” said Andrew Oland, President and CEO, Moosehead Breweries in a statement. “We have a talented team ready to bring incredible new innovations to life and I can’t wait to introduce these new beers to Saint John and to Canada.”

The announcement comes seven months after Moosehead cancelled plans to open a similar small batch facility on the Saint John Waterfront.

Construction on the new brewery is set to start next week, with a planned opening date of May 2018.
