When he found out Twin City Brewing Company was running low on malt, Darren Adam of Cumberland Brewing Company personally flew it to them
Aaron Colyn was happy to be brewing a new batch of beer at Twin City Brewing Company in Port Alberni on Thursday after watching his malt supply dwindle due to the Highway 4 closure.
“So I just switched to messenger and texted him and said: ‘What do you need? How much do you need? I can bring it to you.’ And he said ‘How?’ and I said ‘I’ll chuck it in the plane and come over.’ ” Colyn met Adam and his brewer, Anders Petersson, at the airport with pizza and some Twin City beer to take home to Cumberland. Then it was straight to the brewery to mill the malt and prepare it for brewing Thursday morning.
Adam said it was important to him to chip in to help a fellow brewer and Island entrepreneur, especially as the summer wildfire season is starting early and bringing uncertainty. It was a special relief flight for Helicopters without Borders, which typically flies to Port Alberni every two weeks, delivering fresh food, hygiene supplies and medical personnel to the community.
