BRIDGEWATER, NS – Atlantic Canada Beer Blog reports that a new brewery with a unique distribution model has opened in Nova Scotia’s South Shore region.
FirkinStein Brewing was launched last week in Bridgewater, and is currently selling growlers of its flagship Nor’easter Ale – a 7.5% abv and 55 IBU strong ale brewed with Cascade hops – exclusively via home delivery in the region.
As the brewery notes on Facebook, the deliveries are perfectly legal, and were actually suggested as a distribution option by a representative of the NSLC.
Growlers of Nor’easter Ale cost $12, plus an $8 deposit on the container, and deliveries can be arranged by sending a message via the FirkinStein Facebook page.
