This is part of a year-long ‘Love for Local’ series called NB365: portraits of New Brunswick entrepreneurs, businesses and organizations. Huddle is a media partner with Love for Local. Today, we hear from Luke MacGregor of Gridiron Brewing, in Hampton.

The desire to share great beer beyond our friends and families is what inspired the business. We started brewing small homebrew batches 15 years ago, and love sharing the process and product with anyone that stops by.

The quality of local ingredients is very high. We purchase 90 percent of our malted grain and 50 percent of our hops (the two main ingredients in beer) from New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island producers and continue to try products from the maritime market. Supporting local is central to what we do.
