Big Rock Brewery is a brewery founded in 1985 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Big Rock )〕 ==History== The brewery was founded in 1985 by Ed McNally. A lawyer by trade, Ed McNally was representing a group of barley growers in a legal action against the Alberta Wheat Board in the 1980s. Through the course of the legal action, McNally learned that the Alberta climate produces 2-row barley that is ideally suited for malting, and had access to glacial water from the nearby Rocky Mountains. At the time, most barley production in Alberta was used as cattle feed. With an entrepreneurial background, McNally decided to open a craft brewery. The first brewmaster was Bernd "Peppy" Pieper, a German brewmaster for Heineken International. The second brewmaster was Larry Kerwin, a former brewmaster for Molson. Larry Kerwin started as a brewer at Big Rock under Bernd Pieper in 1994, and took over as brewmaster in 1998 when Pieper retired. The third (and current) brewmaster is Paul Gautreau. Gautreau joined Big Rock in 1986 as its fourth employee, and worked in marketing and operational capacities before replacing Larry Kerwin as brewmaster. Ed McNally, who was made a member of the Order of Canada and awarded the Alberta Centennial Medal in 2005, later retired from day-to-day operation of the company, retaining the ceremonial title "Chairman Emeritus" until his death in August 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Big Rock Brewery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
