Burlington, Ontario-based Nickel Brook has announced that thee of its core brands are now available in Beer Stores across the province.

473ml cans of Naughty Neighbour APA, Headstock IPA and Cause & Effect Blonde Ale are available in 57 Beer Store outlets, and the brewery aims to expand into more stores this year.

They will be focused on the store’s self-serve and “Beer Boutique” outlets, and follows on from Nickel Brook’s expansion into its new Hamilton brewery.

Cause & Effect Blonde is a 4.7% “refreshing and easy-drinking” beer that won silver at the Ontario Brewing Awards.

Its Naughty Neighbour American Pale Ale comes in at 4.9% and is a tribute to the American craft beers of the 1980s that kick-started the craft beer revolution.

Finally, its 7% Headstock India Pale Ale is currently the top-selling craft IPA in the LCBO and, according to Nickel Brook, is ”not for the faint of heart, this is a hop-lover’s dream come true”.

President and Co-Founder John Romano, explained: “We didn’t want to jump into The Beer Store until we were confident we could continue to supply our existing customers with fresh beer.

“With our Hamilton brewery humming along, we’re excited to be able to get our beer into the hands of even more beer lovers”.
