“Things are going fantastically well,” says John Allen, the president of Propeller, noting that the company is experiencing its fourth year of 20 percent growth. Last year Propeller built a warehouse extension to their Gottingen Street brewery, which they filled with tanks and new equipment. “We ship to British Columbia, New Brunswick and special orders to Ontario, but our biggest increase is local. It’s all up,” he says. And those fans of their pilsner had better get it soon, as there won't be any more until the fall. “We’re just too busy, we can’t keep doing it now.” 2015 Gottingen, 422-7767
