MOTH LANE BREWING

Are there any PEI connections with your products (ingredients, names, etc)?

How did Moth Lane Brewing get started?

It all started as a sort of retirement adventure. Brewing had always been a passion, so I thought, why not share it with friends? Initially, I imagined just selling brews on Thursday nights, maybe even at our daughter’s restaurant.

All of the Moth Lane beer names have a connection to my life and the people in the area. Each name tells a story—a nod to our roots and the folks around us. Tell us about how you came up with some of the different products that you create/styles of beer you choose to brew. Brewing to me, is like baking bread — a tradition passed down the line. With over 40 years under my belt, I’ve got a knack for playing with flavours, thanks to different grains and yeasts. While I aim to brew product our customers love, it’s got to bring me joy too—like a nod from the beer gods themselves.

What sets your brewery apart from other producers on PEI?

Moth Lane Brewing is located down a dirt road in rural PEI. Before opening the brewery, I owned an oyster processing plant down by the water, just a stone’s throw from where we live now. I loved the area and figured that it was a perfect place for me to spend the rest of my life.
