The Tims

Last Saturday was1 year anniversary, so I made a special trip into Winnipeg to check out the festivities. Here's photos from the party! Torque released a wine barrel aged saison called Incept1on which was available on tap and in 500mL waxed bottles.This is only the second "first anniversary" I've ever been to at a brewery, the first beingin Sutton, Quebec.Matt Wolff: VP of Operations with his golden locksOn the tour: One of the reasons why Torque only does cans (aside from their anniversary beer) is that they can have hundreds of thousands of cans in the warehouse at a time with minimal problem, shipping is cheaper, and lasts longer. I forget how many empty cans they had in the brewery at the time.. I think maybe around 7000 (actually - it's closer to 500,000! 7000 cans per pallet)Matt Wolff giving a tourEssentially aHead Brewer PerryI was hoping Matt was brewing an Eisbock in there, unfortunately it's not.More of the thousands of cans. As for the big white grain bag - they receive larger bags of grain than they did a year ago to keep up with production.Bison smokie! I like it simple so topped it off with beer chipotle mustard and ketchup!Phil, Matty and IA classic Matty Wolff air guitar soloMatt and Monica dancing!Adam, John and Matt are being carried to OktoberfestBirthday cake!
