Halo Brewery

From complement…

Callum Hay, co-owner and head brewer at Halo Brewery, was initially reluctant to speak of such a thing as a ‘craft beer lifestyle.’ His response to my question about it began, “I like to think of craft beer as complementary to one’s lifestyle, and I don’t think it should be the sole defining element such that it would be the ‘be-all-end-all’ adjective.”

This was a shrewd and fair response, but, to my delight, Callum did not stop there. Instead, he went on to give me more or less exactly the sort of response I was really hoping for: “If there was such a thing, and we weren’t being horribly pedantic about it, then it would be a lifestyle that supports local creation and endeavour. It would also be about self-improvement through the exploration of one’s tastes and aesthetics.”
