Canada, MB: Stone Angel Brewing opens its doors in Winnipeg

Last weekend saw the opening of Winnipeg�s newest brewery and taproom. Opening at 1875 Pembina in the south of the city, Stone Angel Brewing is a dedicated brewery with a large and spacious taproom. The company has been brewing for several weeks and has two new beers on tap for the public, Brewbound reported on October 4.

�The taproom experience is essentially a tasting room for the brewery� explains Paul Clerkin, one of the three partners, �it�s where customers can come, have a couple of pints of our regular beers and try out any new or small batch beers that we have produced.�

�We�re opening with two different beers, an Irish Red Ale, and a English Dark Mild� added James deFehr. �Both are designed to be easy drinking and an introduction to craft beers for the non-craft beer drinker.�

Stone Angel Brewing was formed by three partners last year and has recently finished construction of their 8,650 sq.ft. facility. �At the moment, we are just kegging our beer for growler fills and for bars, eventually we will be opening a canning line� said Paul McMullan, President and Chief Operating Officer. �We are currently introducing Winnipeg bars and restaurants to our beers and hope to see them in other establishments soon.�

The taproom and brewery are sited in what was formerly a night club, and has a large west facing patio and substantial parking. The taproom will be open regularly Wednesday � Sunday, and the unique facility will also be available for events.
