Half Pints Brewing out of bankruptcy, back on shelves
A pioneer of Winnipeg’s craft brewing scene has reopened under new ownership.
Winnipeg's Half Pints Brewing Company, once a pioneer in the craft brewing scene, has emerged from bankruptcy and is once again available in stores. Andrew Holtmann acquired the company's assets from bankruptcy in June and put former founder David Rudge back as brewmaster. Holtmann announced the return of popular Half Pints brand beers, including St. James Pale Ale and Little Scrapper IPA, on Friday.
The brewery's taproom will reopen before the end of the month. Rudge, who started Half Pints in 2006, expressed excitement about the new arrangement and the return of the beloved beers. Holtmann, who invested $250,000 in ingredients and equipment, aims to return to peak production and potentially exceed it by 50%. The news is met with enthusiasm by craft beer enthusiasts and local businesses that support Manitoba's craft beer scene.
