Congratulations Are In Order!

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Congratulations Columbia Brewery! It is with great pleasure that I announce that the Keith’s India Pale Ale brewed in Creston has met the exacting criteria of the Accreditation Process. Mr. Alexander Keith would be proud. By taking the time to get it right, Keith’s drinkers are assured that the Keith’s beer they enjoy will be brewed to the same time honoured traditions as it has been since 1820. I know this is a great achievement for the Columbia Brewery team who have been working very hard to perfect the beer. I’ll be heading to Creston today to officially accredit the Columbia Brewery. Stay tuned as I’ll be posting pictures and video from my trip over the next two weeks.

Friday, May 15th, 2009

Keith’s IPA brewing trials are progressing well at the Columbia Brewery. The first batch of Keith’s was brewed and fermented and it’s now in aging. As expected, some adjustments are necessary and a follow-up trial brew is in progress.
