5 Rabbit swaps out Argus for Minhas in contract brewing deal
I have received word that 5 Rabbit Brewing has changed contract brewers. I previously stated my admiration that 5 Rabbit was upfront about Argus as a contract brewer. Well they are now switching to Minhas Craft Brewery.
Minhas contracts for a number of brands. Notably, the company started contract brewing Chick Beer earlier this year.

The link above has my article where I contacted 5R brewmaster Randy Mosher for his statement. It’s mostly a matter of not enough capacity at Argus since they started putting their own stuff in retail bottles, and still expected to be a stopgap until they open their own brewery in 2012.
