(Chester Basin, NS) - Tanner & Co. Brewing will be opening its doors and taps this week end, October 7th and 8th. As reported back in June, Dan Tanner and partner Peggy Locke will be producing many beers in which some will not be very common in this market.
The brewery at 50 Angus Hiltz Road in Chester Basin will have six beers for sale this week end including American Pale Ale, Belgian Blonde, Imperial Milk Stout with Masala Chai, Lemon Lavender Saison, Dampfbier, and Roggenbier. The hours this week end will be from 12:00 noon to 6:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday or until the beer is gone.
(Chester, NS) - Tanner & Co Brewing is planning to open in August on Angus Hiltz Road in Chester Nova Scotia. Owner and brewer Dan Tanner brings a wealth of knowledge from the restaurant industry, is a sommelier as well as having five years of homebrewing experience. Tanner and his partner Peggy Locke plan to be producing a core group of ales including a lightly hopped pale ale, as well as a lighter Dampfbier and darker Roggenbier.
They’ll be doing different beers and experimenting also around the German beer roots with a Cabernet Franc Stout and Chardonnay Hefeweizen that they produced last year with grapes grown in their onsite vineyard.
Mr. Tanner, a Lunenburg native, will be brewing on a 3 BBL system with sales coming from keg sales and Farmers Markets. Longer term there may be onsite growler fills at the brewery but not initially.
Tanner says he got a lot of assistance from Jeff Saunders from Bad Apple Brewhouse as he proceeds toward his production brewhouse.
