There are not too many details floating around that I can see, but the soon to be brewery was recently highlighted in the Calgary Herald and Fast Forward.
One of the 6 owners, Jim Button (who had previously worked with Big Rock) explains the brewery's philosophy:
The seemingly improvised setup isn’t accidental. Rather, it fits perfectly into the philosophy of the brewery, which will open in late fall. Jim Button, one of six owners, explains that as many things as possible — including the brewing equipment, beer glasses and tap handles — will be either re-used or built by local businesses.
The concept of creating community is central to the existence of the brewery. After all, the adage “it takes a village to raise a child” has been revised to serve as the unofficial mission statement of the brewery: “It takes a village to raise a brewery.” Ten per cent of the business’s earnings will be donated to community projects, predominantly in the sphere of the arts. Art installations will also decorate a wall or two of the interior.
