The brewery is contained within a new free-standing metal building built specifically for the task of beer production. The 17-bbl brewhouse was built by Newlands of British Columbia. A spacious 12 by 40 foot walk-in will hold the sankey kegs for distribution. Geno is experimenting with some 2.25 gallon Party Pig s from Quoin Industrial for retail sales.
Plans call for a bottling line after label approval is received.
The first two beers available for tasting were the El Toro Oro Golden Ale and the more assertively hopped Poppy Jasper Amber Ale. Geno reports that feedback from local accounts has been very positive and distribution should get up to the bay area soon. Copyright 1994, Celebrator Beer News .
