I'm a farm boy, I grew up on a mixed grain/cattle operation my entire life. My dad was proud of the cows that he raised, and at one point - he even let me name one of his calves Cody.
The folks over at 9 Mile Legacy have a cool rural, agricultural story to their name as well - The two main owners of the brewery have a long history with collaborating at the farm. For several decades, the Moen and Pederson families helped each other out on growing crops and farming in general.. now, their descendants - Shawn Moen (CEO/GM) and Garrett Pederson (COO/Head Brewer) - they're here to make amazing beer and keep the 9 Mile Legacy alive!
While at the brewery, Robin from The Thirsty Wench made a really unexpected visit - Which is exciting because the last time I chatted with Robin was on the Montreal Métro in 2014.. aaaand I was a bit too intoxicated on Glutenberg's Imperial Soloton - I remember that she told me that it would be too much of a beer, but I went for a full pint of the 8% beer anyways!
Here's photos I took while at 9 Mile Legacy, I should've brought my DSLR but I didn't expect to be there for more than 10 minutes! Thank you 9 Mile and Robin for making me go off my schedule.. but it was worth it!
