Our Cicerone Evan Fougere
Residing in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Evan Fougere started his journey in beer in 2017 while working at a specialty liquor store. It is there where he started tasting beer more mindfully and decided to go head first into the academic world of beer. By the summer of 2018, Evan had passed his Certified Cicerone exam and became a Recognized Beer Judge. Since then, he has taught a beer course for a local sommelier program, and judged several Atlantic Canadian Beer competitions. Currently, Evan works in Learning & Development for the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation leading their education strategies for all categories of beverage alcohol.

Sleeping Giant Brewing Co.
Starting with an idea formed over sharing a home brew with friends and bringing that craft beer love to our community of Thunder Bay, Sleeping Giant Brewing Co. slowly grew with hard work and supportive customers from a few beers in 2012 to a diverse portfolio of beers daily. Sleeping Giant Brewing Co. moved from its starter home to its current site in 2016 and added to the packaging and production line. Within a year, a unique taproom experience developed that looks over our many stainless tanks and an inclusive storefront to showcase our merchandise and some local collaborations that greets everyone when you arrive at our door.
