YELLOWHEAD COUNTY, AB – Two months after debuting its beer at Edmonton Oktoberfest as part of Alberta Beer Week, Bench Creek Brewing opened its retail store to the public for the first time this past weekend – and promptly sold out of beer before it was anywhere near closing time.
The brewery retail shop opened at 11:00 AM on Saturday December 5th with the intention of selling growler fills of Naked Woodsman Pale Ale until 3:00 PM, but the taps ran dry just after 1:00 PM due to the larger than expected demand.
Regular business hours for the Bench Creek retail store are expected to be announced this week via the brewery’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
