Next Trick Brewing

How It All Began

Allan MacDonald started brewing his first batches of homebrew in the late 80’s. For years, he enjoyed making and sharing delicious craft beer with friends and family at home. Many would say “Al, this is really great beer. You should open a brewery”. The usual reply would be “why turn a hobby into a job?” Well… what happens when a homebrewing chemical engineer spots local deals on brewery equipment? He has to go check it out of course! With family encouragement and a growing accumulation of brewery equipment that wouldn’t fit in the house, the search began for the perfect spot for a new brewery.
