Tally's take

The character

Destination brewing on a seasonal clock. Port Rexton sits at the trailhead of the Skerwink and pulls thousands of people down the Bonavista Peninsula; Twillingate looks straight out at the icebergs that drift past every spring. These taprooms live or die on about twenty weeks a year, and they are built accordingly.
