The first brewery in Labrador has announced that it is now open for business, the Canadian Beer News reported on October 21.

Iron Rock Brewing has been founded by brothers Brian and Dave Hurley, and is located in Labrador City, a town on the western edge of Labrador near the border with Quebec.

Sales are currently limited to glasses at the bar, with growler sales planned to be launched soon.
