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 Cider by Tawse Winery at King & DufferinA simple but pleasant cider with a slight floral note and a clean & fresh finish. A well made crowd-pleaser.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic/Loral) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinHazy, juicy, dank & green - yup, it’s a Wizard Wolf. Mosaic hops are obvious, not as sure about Loral as I’m not too familiar with them.
- Greg C. is drinking a Switchboard Session IPA by Muddy York Brewing Co. at King & DufferinWhile the cranky old man in me would prefer less haze, I can’t find much else to fault in this. Lots of flavour with lowish abv - all good!
- Greg C. is drinking a Porch Pirate by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryNot as big & juicy as most NEIPAs, but still sufficiently tropical with good balance. Sometimes a bit of subtlety is appreciated.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (HBC 522) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinCitrus notes up front, herbal backnote with odd hint of cherry candy. An interesting hop strain, hope to try more beers brewed with it.
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.
