I know over a year ago I posted that Winnipeg would be worth visiting as a beer place within 6 months...well that didn’t happen. However! It may have taken longer than we had hoped, but we are now in a "boom" time for craft beer in Winnipeg. In addition to the craft beer mega-bar Barley Brothers, which has been around for a while, we also have.
-Peg Brewing Company (they’ve been open for many months but finally have their own beer now)
-Barn Hammer (nice tap room!)
-Torque Brewing (tap room not open yet, but producing some decent beer in cans)
-Half Pints (about to open a tap room!!!!)
-The Common at the Forks - nice beer bar in Winnipeg’s most touristy spot
-Farmery (not very exciting, I know), is brewing beer in Western Manitoba for the first time.
and soon to open:
-Little Brown Jug
-Brazen Hall Brewing
and a bunch more further in the future (One Great City, Oxus, etc. I think a previous forum had a long list)
Really exciting time to be a beer drinker in Manitoba. If you haven’t been to Winnipeg in a while, now you finally have a reason to. I’d be happy to trade with anyone also.

The Half Pints Tap Room IS OPEN. 9-9 M-Sat 11-6 Sun.

Torque should be this week from what Adam tells us.

LBJ brewed their first beers last week, so very soon.

Oh, awesome. I’ll have to stop by at Half Pints this week then.
