 | E-Malt.com News article: Canada, ON: Cowbell Brewing provides update on construction of its facility in Blyth
Cowbell Brewing has announced expanded distribution for its debut flagship brand, and has provided an update on the construction of its bricks-and-mortar facility in the village of Blyth, Ontario, Canadian Beer News reported.
Absent Landlord Country Kolsch was launched in late May at select licensees and LCBO locations, and is now being ramped up to province-wide availability. Currently brewed under contract while the Cowbell brewery is being built, Absent Landlord is described as a Kölsch-style beer, designed to be both approachable and uniquely delicious.
The permanent home for Cowbell which will include a brewery, restaurant, retail shop and large events space is in the early stages of construction on a 59-acre property owned by brewery founders the Sparling family.
The building is being constructed from sustainable materials, such as timber and local, ethicallysourced reclaimed, natural materials. The heating and cooling system is brilliantly engineered to use the least amount of energy while maintaining temperatures year round, including automated windows and cupolas to use outside air to the building’s advantage.
A stateofthe-art, Canadian-built, four-vessel brewhouse and cellar from Newlands Systems in Abbotsford, British Columbia will be installed with water and energy-saving technologies and auxiliary components. Cowbell Brewing Co.’s target water-to-beer consumption ratio is 4:1 – much lower than the relative industry standard of 10:1.
The Cowbell destination brewery is expected to open in the spring/summer of 2017.
