E-Malt.com News article: Canada, ON: Old Tomorrow Brewing to be launched this fall in Ontario
Brewery news

Canada’s first Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald will soon be honoured with a new brewing company being founded by a mother and son team that share his surname, Canadian Beer News reported on August 12.

Old Tomorrow Brewing – named for one of Macdonald’s nicknames – is the creation of Pat and Ian Macdonald, she a former Ontario Assistant Deputy Minister of Economic Development & Trade with executive experience in many leisure, hospitality and food & beverage companies, and he a marketing professor at George Brown College with an entrepreneurial background.

According to Ian, both he and his mother are passionate about craft beer and Canadian heritage, and decided to form Old Tomorrow to bring these two interests together. The first beer from the new company will be Old Tomorrow Canadian Pale Ale, a golden ale developed by Jamie Mistry, a brewmaster with experience at a number of breweries including Amsterdam Brewery and Cool Brewing.

Old Tomorrow CPA will be launched this fall, marking the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference, with promotion of the beer to be tied in with celebrations of the 200th birthday of Sir John A. Macdonald in January 2015.

Distribution will initially be limited to Ontario, where it will be available in 473 ml cans at LCBO outlets, and on draught in 30 and 50 litre kegs. Roll-out to other provinces is planned to follow as the brand is further developed, and the company also intends to develop “future beer styles that will celebrate key iconic moments of Canadian history with distinctive recipes carefully crafted to match Canadian tastes.”
