E-Malt.com News article: Canada: Russell Brewing Ranked Number One for Growth in BC

Russell Brewing Company announced on December 4th that according to a recently published report by the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB), Russell Brewing is the fastest growing brewery in the province.

The Payment to Suppliers and Employees Report issued by the BCLDB showed that Russell Brewing received over $1.26 million in payments from the BCLDB at year-end March 2006. This was a 138% increase over the previous year and the highest percentage increase of any brewery in the province.

“Unlike most of our competition, this growth record is especially significant since Russell beer is only available in kegs at this time” said Andrew Harris, President and COO. “With plans to launch our products into bottles and cans in the near future we anticipate another strong year of growth”.

Products include: Russell Cream Ale, Russell Pale Ale, Russell Honey Blonde Ale, Russell Extra Special Lager plus two seasonal brews, Russell Lemon Ale and Russell Winter Porter.
