What is Broadhead?
Broadhead is a scrappy little beer company that aims to do big things. It's the underdog - a long shot, a dark horse. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in spirit. With six feisty, flavourful ales brewed through good old-fashioned hard work and know-how, Broadhead pays homage to the perfect pint.
Introducing the Broadhead Brewing Company.
Cheers to the Underdog.

Broadhead's Dark Horse Stout - A Rich & Creamy ... Cupcake?
Head's up everyone - Broadhead's Dark Horse Stout has been cupcaked! The good folks at the Flour Shoppe in the Glebe have carefully crafted a brand new cupcake using the bold, unbridled taste of Broadhead's full-bodied oatmeal stout. Featuring house-made Irish cream buttercream, this tasty cupcake trounces the competition.
If a combination of sweets and suds sounds good to you, visit the Flour Shoppe at 617 Bank Street. Dark Horse Stout has never looked - or tasted - so good!

Winterbrew'd
For anyone who didn't check out Winterbrew'd this weekend, mark it down for next year - you won't regret it. Team Broadhead had the good fortune to attend with some of our Dark Horse Stout in hand - our go-to beer during the winter weather - and we're happy to report the beer received a very warm welcome. We even had the chance to pair it with some local grub from the Hintonburg Public House and all reports indicate that the merger was a good one. If that wasn't enough, we also had the pleasure of serving up our Underdog Pale Ale paired with some tasty offerings from Ryan Janssens. Both pairings were crowd-pleasers!
The event packed a full house with great music, outstanding local beer and - best of all - it served up some of the best eats that Ottawa has to offer. Thanks to everyone who made the event happen. We'll see you next year!

Mill Street's New Ottawa Brewpub
Last week, the good folks at Mill Street were kind enough to invite Team Broadhead to the grand opening of their brand new brewpub in the limestone heritage building owned by the National Capital Commission. All four of us have been big fans of Mill Street beer for a very long time, so it was pretty exciting to receive the invite. And, the event didn't disappoint, with amazing food, atmosphere and - of course - Mill Street's tasty beer on tap. We even somehow managed to find ourselves quoted in Ron Eade's blog in the Ottawa Citizen... right after the Mayor of Ottawa!
If you're looking for a cool place to get your hands on some great beer, be sure to check out Mill Street's new Ottawa digs. You will definitely find us there.

Thank you everyone that made it out to the brewery yesterday. It was a record day and, in fact, dried up our supply! We will have more beer next week, open Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Happy Holidays!

Beau's BYBO Program
Beau's All Natural Brewing Company is a classy brewery. Everybody knows that they make fantastic beer, but what you may not know is how great the people are who own, operate and work for Beau's. Trust us - we know first hand. They recently launched an amazing campaign with Operation Come Home to deliver Beau's beer in a way that would benefit homeless youth in the Ottawa area. Check it out: http://www.beaus.ca/bybo
What's sad is that this program was shut down after less than a day of operation, closed after another Ontario brewery complained to the AGCO about the service. According to Beau's, it seems there was a typo in the regulations around home beer delivery services that this anonymous brewery exploited.
Broadhead would like to voice its strong support for Beau's and their BYBO program. This is a brilliant campaign by good-hearted people that would serve to improve the lives of people in need. Our community deserves much better than this. Please visit the Beau's Facebook Page to see how you can help right this wrong.

Thank you everyone that's made it out to the brewery so far, your support has been awesome! In fact, so awesome that we already need to add new equipment and give ourselves more time to brew the flavourful ales you've all tasted. In attempt to keep on top of things, we'll be working hard behind closed doors on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from now on. We apologize for the inconvenience, but hope that everyone can still make it out during our Thursday, Friday, Saturday hours.
Cheers!
