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 When In Rome by Bar Hop at Bar Hop BrewcoFruit-flavoured stouts aren’t usually my kinda thing, but this is a good one. Berry flavours are very natural & work well with the beer.
- Greg C. is drinking a Steadfast by Tooth And Nail Brewing Company at Bar Hop BrewcoTicks all the boxes - dry roast malt, cocoa, hints of coffee & toasted nuts, bit of twiggy bitterness. A spot-on porter!
- Greg C. is drinking a Dubbel Entendre by Black Oak Brewing Company at King & Dufferin5.5 year old bottle. Noticeably oxidized but still enjoyable. Notes of dried fruit, baked apple, coffee, rye bread & dark malt. Warm finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Kindred Spirits by Innis & Gunn at King & DufferinSimple & solid robust stout with nicely integrated whisky & wood notes. Sweet but not overly so. Pretty well balanced, actually. Well done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Petrus Winter #9 by Brouwerij De Brabandere at King & Dufferin3 year old bottle. Notes of caramel toffee and autumn/winter spices. Oxidization and fairly light carbonation belie its age. But still good.
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.
