Visi- tors from larger urban cen- tres particularly like the spa- cious country setting of Stone Ilouse Brewing Com- pany, according to Corrie. The local brewery has been so successful that, in its early days, it often sold out a batch of beer before the next batch was ready. "I've been quite happy with the response from the community," said Corrie. The Stone House Brewing Company brews a true Czech Pilsner beer "under the watchful eyes of a German- trained brewmaster." The quality water source for the beer is drawn from a local aquifer through a 250 -foot deep well. The craft brewery's Canadian two -row malted barley has been called "one of the finest in the world." The beer's source of hops is Saaz, which traces its heritage back to Czech origins. The Saaz hop is one of four hop varie- ties that, grown in its place of origin, is classified as a 'noble' hop. Growing and using of Saaz hops has its beginnings in 2atec, Czech Republic, with a 700 -year tra- dition. 'Noble' hops are used in beer for their lack of bitter- ness, lovelyaroma, and enjoyable flavor. Famous beers such as Stella Artois and Pilsner Urquell are fla- voured with Saaz. hops. The combination of a rural setting, excellent water and ingredients, and a flavourful beer have contributed to Stone House's success. The Stone House craft brewery sells its beer in containers including. the Growler, or 'Little Brown Jug.' (Growlers come in various shapes and sizes. The Stone House growler is 64 ounces or 1.89 litres in size. Refills are avail- able at the brewery's Varna - area location). Patrons of the brewery can also buy beer by the glass at the Varna brew- ery. The brewery's owner is planning to add a licensed outdoor porch in the summer.
