(Dartmouth, NS) - Nine Locks Campfire NEIPA (6.5% ABV and 40 IBU) has just about all the hops they could muster. Cloudy, golden and bursting with flavours of passion fruit, apricot, mango and red apple… with a counterpoint of zesty citrus. Campfire NEIPA delivers rich, pallet-filling body followed by a malty, sweet finish. The idea of Nine Locks was conceived fireside and this series name is a nod to their history as well as a way to connect the brand back to the outdoors which brand promoted.

Pre-sale begins Wednesday, July 15, for Community Spirit, a rye lager virgin oak barrel aged whisky inspired by the work the two New Brunswick companies did together to produce hand sanitizer at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As COVID-19 started to make its way into Canada in mid-March, Moonshine Creek wanted to support efforts to keep the community safe by producing hand sanitizer - but the family-run small business didn’t have the ingredients required to produce significant quantities. Certificates are $100 each, and 100% of proceeds from every sale will be donated to New Brunswick Food Banks - a $50,000 donation, assuming all certificates are claimed. As a family-owned and operated business, all of us at Moosehead are so proud to have partnered with Moonshine Creek - not only on our first-ever craft spirit collaboration, but also on the project that started it all: the development and distribution of hand sanitizer for our community,” said Andrew Oland, President, Moosehead Breweries.
