ROSE VALLEY, PE – The PEI Beer Guy blog reports that nearly two years after offering preview samples at the 2011 PEI Beer Festival, Barnone Brewing has finally been officially launched.
Founded by father and son team Hugh and Don Campbell (pictured above), Barnone is starting with two flagship beers: Summer Sessions, a golden wheat ale; and a moderately hopped Pale Ale.
Barnone’s 5 hectolitre brewing system is located on the family farm, where many ingredients for the beers are grown, including several varieties of hops that are also dried on site.
Barnone beers are currently available only on draught, with The Landing Oyster House & Pub in Tyne Valley being the first establishment to put them on tap. Distribution to other bars and restaurants in PEI is expected to follow soon, and a brewery retail store will be opening soon to offer growler sales.

- Greg C. is drinking a Not A Word Spoken - Apricot IPA by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinExactly what I expect from a hazy IPA made with Simcoe & Citra hops and laced with apricot - i.e. big, bright, juicy, aromatic.
- Greg C. is drinking a Stout by Big Drop Brewing Co at King & DufferinThe low abv is betrayed somewhat by the light body, but the flavour is that of a proper pub stout - cocoa, coffee, slight smoky tang. Nice!
- Greg C. is drinking a Vintage Ale (2016) by Fuller, Smith & Turner at King & DufferinPort & plum preserves up front, touch of leather, good balance through the middle, bit warm in the finish.
- Greg C. is drinking an Ikinuki Ungespundetes Kellerbier by Godspeed Brewery at Bar Hop BrewcoGood lager with strong malt base but heavy hit of hops as well. Good body, full but not heavy. A pleasure to drink.
- Greg C. is drinking an After Hours: Raspberry Sour by PEI Brewing Company (Gahan) at King & DufferinSurprised to find this treat from my home province at the LCBO. Very good raspberry sour with natural tasting tart berry flavour.
Can hardly wait to get my hands on some! Their beer was a big hit at the Charlottetown beer festival a couple of years ago.
