Brewery opens in Seaforth

Brewed in Seaforth's backyard is Half Hours on
Earth, the new business had a light open March
26 where they
showcased nine
styles of craft
beer for the
locals to sample
or purchase.
On Seaforth's
main avenue,
down a flight of
steel stairs, the
"rustic" estab-
lishment oper-
ates around mas-
sive canisters
that at one point
in time made
mayonnaise for
the Seaforth E.D. Smith, which eventually closed
down in 2013. In a caged room, next to the vintage
steel containers are much smaller barrels of fer-
menting alcohol. Some will sit for weeks and oth-
ers for months. Bags of grains are piled on the
floor, fancy scientific glasses surround the tables.
From afar you can tell somebody has perfected
his or her craft, no pun intended.
To be prepared for a cluster of customers,
owner, Kyle Teichert, from Seaforth, 'brewed up a
storm.' It's been about six years of creating several
different types of personalized beers. He knew the
beer business was something he could see him-
self doing for years to come after winning first
place in a Toronto brewing competition. After
studying the trade and realizing how challenging
it was to find abroad, Teichert, 31, decided to keep
the love of making beer in his hometown of
Seaforth.
"I like the variety of beer in the States, we went
there to get a lot of our beers and we couldn't find
it here at the time," explained Teichert after serv-
ing a line up of customers.
"So that's why we started brewing here:'
Like many in the nation, Teichert is following
the flow of Craft beer which proceeds to be the
fastest growing alcohol within the LCBO's beer
category, growing yearly in the range of 20-30 per
cent, according to
Ontario Craft
Brewers.

Teichert's signifi-
cant other said
beer connois-
seurs had con-
stantly been in
and out. "It's been
steady all day:'
"We didn't
want to advertise
too much at the
beginning, we are
kind of figuring
things out. We still need new stairs and a new
door."
For the time being, Half Hours on Earth will be
open on Saturdays from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. And by
next week an additional five flavors of beer will be
available.
