in New Brunswick beginning in February. Spears says that they’ve also been working with Bishop’s Cellar, a liquor store on the Halifax Waterfront, to carry Copper Bottom product this spring. Being able to do this, Spears says, not only helps Copper Bottom, but the entire PEI brewing industry—an industry that has only started building itself up in the last few years. “Every brewery is unique, we’re all making exceptional products on Prince Edward Island; this allows us to make more of it,” says Spears. Along with their products being available in more stores and provinces, Copper Bottom Brewing itself is growing. It’s adding more fermenters, and will be able to offer more varieties of beer. Some of their current products include the Centennial Stock Blonde, Parkman Ave Double IPA, and Ken’s Stout, all of which have taken home awards in Atlantic Canadian competitions. While the brewery has grown a lot in such a few short years, Spears says it was something they anticipated. “The fact
that we have been able to grow is a testament to people’s appreciation for our product,” he says. Despite their success, though, Spears says Copper Bottom is still “very, very small” compared to other microbreweries.
“We’re not getting ahead of ourselves, but we’re just really excited to be able to supply more places,” he says.
