Narwhal Brewery

As many of you know we changed our name to Finback Brewery some time ago. The brewery is coming along and we are shooting for a novemberish opening... in the meantime, please check out our kickstarter campaign. It's going to enable us to kick off our barrel aging and sour program right from the start. Thanks and can't wait to share a beer with you!

GOLIATH TRAMPLES DAVID. After weeks of discussion, waiting and weighing of options, we have decided to change our name. We are disappointed SN was unwilling to work something out even after multiple proposals that were very reasonable. Unfortunately, big companies with deep pockets generally get their way. We want to get back to focusing on making beer and getting the brewery open later this year.

We're proud to introduce to you - FINBACK Brewery. Please check it out and like the page, follow us on twitter and we will keep you posted on all the happenings.

Cheers!

Guaranteed, No Narwhals are Harmed in the Brewing of Narwhal Beer! http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Albertans+charged+with+smuggling+Arctic+narwhal+tusks/7767340/story.html Bad Bad People.

Federal environment officials in Canada and the United States have cracked an alleged smuggling operation that saw scores of narwhal tusks from the Canadian Arctic illegally shipped across the New Brunswick-Maine border in the secret compartment of a trailer.

Positive steps today... Thanks to Sierra Nevada for talking to us. They're leaders of the industry and reiterated they support small brewers. We're hopeful we will work out a good solution for all.

nano breweries rock! Can't wait to visit Blind Bat Brewery http://www.slate.com/articles/business/drink/2012/12/nanobrewing_how_tiny_beer_making_operations_are_changing_the_industry.single.html

Brewery tours are often pretty brief. Guides know the audience will only wait so long before the promised beer tasting at the end. But I have never taken a brewery tour quite as short as the one brewmaster Paul Dlugokencky gave me of Blind Bat Brewery. It took about 30...

Check out a piece in the Brooklyn Paper: http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/35/50/all_narwhalwar_2012_12_21_bk.html

Somehow, two different beer-makers decided it would be a good idea to name their brews after a strange-looking tusked whale.

Thanks Beerpulse and Adam Nason for posting a story about our trademark issues http://beerpulse.com/2012/12/sierra-nevada-brewing-narwhal-llc-locked-in-trademark-dispute-over-narwhal-name/

To set the record straight - Our Narwhal Imperial Stout was created on untappd on 12/6/11 and other beers even earlier. A simple google search would have found us even in 2010. I wish we were up and running with SLA licensing and TTB labels since then but these things take time. We've been in planning for some time now. We hope Sierra Nevada would have a conversation with us as we believe there is a solution everyone can be happy with.
