Brandon’s first modern brewery is ready to start getting beer into people’s hands with an homage to the past, despite having to push back its projected opening date.
Black Wheat Brewing, which is slated to open in February 2021 at the corner of 10th Street and Louise Avenue, is naming one of the first two beers brewed under its name Empire Ale, in honour of the old Empire Brewing Company, said co-owner Ted Birch.
