Ok I give in. this is for Mary, Lisa, Steve and Rob. (our fantastic marketing team) Brand Fire is the best!

Neustadt went green in September, we invested in a smart car. Yes,as my kids say a clown car. It was first bought to stop my teenage kids from pinching my car (an intrepid). This did not happen as it was the only one in the whole of Grey County, my 20 year old thought it was a great gimmick to pull the chick’s. It is fantastic, I love it. It holds it self well in the snow. It cost’s me 12$  to go to TO (a six hour drive there and back) I would recomend anybody to get one. Every one wants to sit in it. I pull in any where and all of a sudden I have people who love it and want to know all about it. I know this isn’t about beer, but what the hell, go green and save the planet!

Hey Guys and Gals

Happy New Year from every one at Neustadt.

2007 flew by and saw a lot of changes at Neustadt. We celibrated our 10th anniversay on 23rd December. Launched a celebration Decade Bitter for the occasion (only available from the brewery) Re launched our winter beer Big Dog Porter, this year working with Pele Island and using thier red wine in the porter.  Launched our beers into .473 cans (we are still waiting for LCBO approval for the Lager) Managed to fit a lot of alterations in (thanks to Andrew working round the clock) please forgive him if he looks half asleep, I think he could sleep on a clothes line!

2008 promises a lot more of ………….. a day in the life of Neustadt! be it good or bad we really do have a sense of humour. Bring it on 2008 we are ready, as most of the Ontario Craft Brewers are.  All I have to do now is wake Andrew up to go and pick our new brewer Rob Beck from the airport. He is flying in from England ( yes we are bringing in the best of the best) and he will be working with Andrew for the next 12 months (somebody has to keep Andrew awake) 

Oh! and if anybody finds a portable garage in Peterbourgh, Oshawa  area please send it home it’s mine for my smart car it disapeared yesterday in that high wind!

The 12th Toronto Festival of Beer, presented by our friends at The Beer Store, starts this week, so get your tickets while you still can.  In the meantime, here's a story from Aonghus Kealy at Metro News about the festival that represents the Ontario Craft Brewers very nicely.

Aonghus's story features his 12 things not to be missed at the fest…we draw your attention to #12:

12. Ontario Craft Beers … yum!: Eat and drink locally. And there are a number of reasons to try some OCB beers:

• Beer ice cream, by Great Lakes Brewing (Booth 55), served out of a bicycle fridge.
• Neustadt Springs’ re-introducing Scottish Pale Ale in Booth 47. “It’s only 4.5 per cent and it’s ideal because it has afor the summer,” said Neustadt’s Val Simpson. nice bite to it
• Brick’s Waterloo Wheat finally ventures into Toronto. Booth 56.

 If this doesn't make you thirsty, see a doctor.
