EDGERTON, April 26, 2012 — The
brewing business is fraught with challenges and the Ribstone Creek
Brewery (RCB) is working to clear yet another hurdle in keeping up
with an unforeseen demand for it's product.
Due to a a recent shortage of Ribstone
Creek Lager, the RCB founders have made the difficult decision to
withdraw from the Edmonton International Beerfest, happening April
27th and 28th at the Shaw Conference Centre.
RCB president Don Paré said production
limitations have required the fledgling brewery's founders to make
some tough decisions about how they plan to distribute their beer in
the near future.
“We offer our sincerest apologies to
the good folks at the Edmonton International Beer Show and all those
who have been affected by this supply issue and we appreciate those
who've stood by us in the early stages of our business,” said Paré.
The RCB founders say they will have
enough beer in place to take part in the Calgary International Beerfest, happening May 4th and 5th at the BMO
Centre.
Paré also stated that the RCB facility
in Edgerton, AB is in the midst of a large-scale renovation, which is
expected to be completed early this summer. When complete, the
Edgerton facility will allow for a drastic increase in production
capabilities.
