“GBI’s support over the past two years has let us do something we never expected: brew beer that genuinely moves people. When we released our first all-Gaelic label, the response rolled in from every corner of the Gaelic-speaking world. Messages full of pride, surprise, and real emotion from folks who felt seen in a way they hadn’t before. This year’s follow-up, with the Salmon of Knowledge and another full Gaelic label, gave us a chance to celebrate one of the many cultures that shape Nova Scotia, while reminding people far and wide that this province holds a special place in the story of New World Gaelic heritage. These collaborations have opened doors, sparked conversations, and connected us with a global community we’re grateful to be part of. Thank you for helping us bring that to life. We look forward to 2026 and beyond!”
