E-Malt.com News article: Canada, ON: Sudbury’s Stack Brewing receives grant to move to larger location
Brewery news

Stack Brewing has outgrown its location on Kelly Lake Road in Sudbury, Ontario, Sudbury.com reported on July 9.

Since it first opened its doors three years ago as a one-man operation, Stack has grown so much — it now boasts a staff of 14 — it needs a bigger location, said owner Shawn Mailloux.

New brewing equipment is also on its way, thanks to a C$281,538 Northern Ontario Heritage Fund grant, announced on July 8 by Sudbury MPP Glenn Thibeault.

“We are out of room, so now I'm trying to find a new location, which is part of the NOHFC grant,” Mailloux said.

The current location has been a “blessing,” he said. It was the proper location in which to launch Stack Brewing, and the plan is to keep it as an offsite production and retail location.

“We have a lot of customers in this area, so they'd like it if we kept a retail location here,” he said.

Expanding to this point would not have been possible without NOHFC funding, Mailloux said.

“You can only do so much funding a business by yourself. The NOHFC has been a silent investor, so to speak, to help us get from point A to point B.”

Two years ago, Stack Brewing received C$125,000 from the NOHFC.

“Stainless steel is not cheap,” he said.
