GROWLER BAY BREWING COMPANY VOICES PLANS
FOR VALDEZ BREWERY
Rhonda and Paul Langley recently spoke to James Roberts of The Anchorage Press about their plans to open a brewery in Valdez next fall. Although still in the “start up phase,” the article reports that opening a brewery in Valdez has been a dream of Rhonda’s for eight years. Despite the work that still needs to be done to make the Growler Bay Brewing Company a reality, the couple has big plans. “I want to bring a taste of something different than what’s out there for Valdez to try. I’m not sure what our first beer will be. What people want, we’ll have, but I want to do specialty beers as well,” Rhonda said, adding, “Our main goal is just a brewery with a tap room and to participate in the PWS…We want to make exceptional beer with quality ingredients and processes. That’s where our heart lies.” CLICK HERE to read the full story from The Anchorage Press.
