It seems like we’ve been writing about the explosion of the craft beer industry in Ottawa for quite some time now.

WinterBrewed 2014: Less brrr, more beer!
In the winter of 2013, craft beer lovers braved a possible polar vortex (the term hadn’t been popularized yet, so who knows?) to sample some tasty brews at WinterBrewed, a beer-themed Winterlude spinoff event on Sparks Street.
