'Helping out a peer in beer': Cumberland Brewing Co. flies malt to brewer in Port Alberni
Posted: Jun. 15, 2023 6:24PMPeople and supplies have been arriving in Port Alberni by plane since Highway 4 closed last week due to the Cameron Bluffs wildfire, but a Wednesday shipment of malt filled a critical gap for Aaron Colyn’s business, Twin City Brewing.
“Well a few days ago we started to notice that we can only brew a couple more brews and then we’re going to be in trouble,” said Colyn. “So we made mention of it on social media like, yeah we’re going to be brewing tomorrow but don’t know, I don’t know if we’ll be brewing after that.
Thanks to Cumberland Brewing, Twin City won’t miss a batch of beer and the brew from the malt delivered on Wednesday could be ready for the highway’s full reopening in July.“Well I think this is basically the big event of our summer so we want to commemorate that, we’re going to do what’s called a summer ale,” Colyn said. “As far as a name for this beer we’ve been tossing around a lot of ‘air-drop’ inspired names.
