    Cheers to a Comeback: Broadhead Brewing Company & Underdog Studio Revive the Iconic Underdog Pale Ale! Ottawa, Ontario, June 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE An Ottawa-based craft brewery is going back to where it all started with a relaunch of its first beer, proving that hard work pays off. Underdog, a Pale Ale created by Broadhead Brewery when they were founded in 2011, is now available at several LCBO locations in the province. A partnership with Underdog Studio, a social advertising agency from Toronto, both companies were established around the same time and have grown to show that the odds can work in their favour through quality and work ethic. “We’re thrilled to announce Underdog, the first beer we brewed when we started Broadhead over twelve years ago, has been accepted into the LCBO,” said Broadhead Brewery Chief Executive Officer Jamie White. “This beer was the catalyst that brought us together with our friends at Underdog, who share our scrappy and determined spirit. Cheers to the underdogs everywhere,” said White. The revamped Pale Ale is a throwback to the one brewed in 2011 but with a few slight tweaks as Broadhead has grown older and wiser. Pouring a pale burnt orange with a moderate white head, Underdog has aromas of citrus and grapefruit supported by hints of pine and a slight malt sweetness. The palate follows the nose, with pleasant citrus and grapefruit up front and along with a nice amount of malt sweetness to balance out the finishing hoppy bite. Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation, 12 years of brewing really shows with this great pale ale and is an example of the company’s ethos of ‘Work Hard, Drink Easy.’ Underdog Studio goes by the motto ‘Underdogs Work Harder’ and founder Brendan Weaver, whose company is a major player in beer advertising, said the organic synergy between his team and Broadhead Brewery should resonate with hard-working Ontarians seeking a beverage that truly reflects their spirit. “I’m proud to have aligned our agency with Broadhead as we have shared values in quality, craftsmanship and work ethic overall. As one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies, we are always looking for new opportunities to explore,” said Weaver. Similar to Broadhead, Underdog Studio started from humble beginnings. Underdog has won numerous creative awards for alcohol beverage and Consumer Packaged Goods advertising. Underdog Pale Ale is available in 473ml cans and has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 5.2 per cent. Broadhead already offers eight classic beers and a wide range of limited run releases ranging from crispy lagers to bold IPAs. https://lnkd.in/ghkzVchr

    We want to say a HUGE #ThankYou and extend our deepest gratitude to all of those who attended both of our events last Wednesday, April 17th, as we celebrated the opening of our newest supportive housing building!!! 🎉💞 It truly takes a village, and we are so grateful to everyone who has contributed to make this project possible. 🌟 A special thank you goes out to MBC for providing all food & drinks for our community BBQ, and for providing a generous matching gift sponsorship for all donations up to $35,000 made until April 30th. 🥂 Thank you so much to the following generous hospitality sponsors, who provided incredible canapés and beverages for guests to enjoy at our evening fundraiser: Play Food and Wine, Pho Tuâń, Corner Peach, Absinthe, Broadhead Brewery, and Carlington Booch. We also want to thank Liberal MP Yasir Naqvi 🇨🇦 (Ottawa Centre), Ottawa City Councillor Ariel Troster (Somerset Ward), and Bishop Shane Parker from the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa for their support. Beginning this week, 44 Eccles Street will be the new home for 46 women and gender-diverse individuals who were previously experiencing homelessness in our city. 💗 This project was made possible thanks to funding and support from the City of Ottawa, the Government of Canada, McDonald Brothers Construction, CSV Architects, Cahdco, and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 💕🥰🤗

    Ontario's local brewery wants to remain Ontario's local brewery... but we need some help! As an founding member of the Ontario Craft Brewers (OCB), we, alongside all independent breweries in the province, are advocating for tax reform to ensure our industry has a healthy and sustainable future. Breweries in Ontario pay the highest beer tax in all of Canada, 8x more than those operating in Alberta, and the Ontario craft brewery basic beer tax rose almost three times faster than the basic beer tax for the internationally-owned brewing companies since 2010. This limits craft brewers’ (like GLB's) ability to invest in their breweries, employees, and communities. We also pay, along with other alcohol producers, a $.09 CAN TAX each time we put our beer in a can - no other sector pay this (soda, energy drinks, etc). It is separate from the deposit paid by consumers and the fees charged by The Beer Store to process the can, and it is unnecessary. So, what can you do to help? You can start by visiting the website www.keepcraftbeerlocal.ca and connect with your local MPP (it takes seconds) to voice your concern for the state of Ontario’s Craft Brewers. You can SHARE this post with your connection. You can read a recent study by the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis (https://lnkd.in/gjw9XYrY). You can also continue to support local craft breweries through your purchasing habits - as we say here at GLB, "Supporting local never tasted soooo good." Here are some facts to illustrate what craft breweries mean to local communities: - 90% of Ontarians have a bricks-and-mortar craft brewery in their community - More than 5 million people visit Ontario craft breweries annually - 31,000 Ontarians live in a household supported by the industry - Ontario craft breweries have generated a total of $685 million in GDP annually - Craft beer represents just 11% of the Ontario beer market, but accounts for 80% of brewery jobs. Together, let's continue to grow this industry! #keepcraftbeerlocal #supportlocal Ontario Craft Brewers (OCB)
