This week on Let’s Meet For A Beer are Hans Does and Matt Willerton of Lacombe’s Blindman Brewing. Join us for a conversation about their history, their families, and their passions, which just like Blindman Brewing’s beer, we are confident you will find reliably exciting.

Blindman Brewing in Lacombe, Alberta was founded with a simple mission: bringing Alberta to another level in craft beer, and getting the best beer to the people. Hans was home brewing early test batches for Blindman all the way back in 2012, after having earned his Masters in Theology, spent time time picking cucumbers and living in a Monastery. Meanwhile Matt was discovering his place in the beer industry. Matt had previously spent some time working in an electrical business founded by his brother, and after realizing it wasn’t right for him he began working at Alley Kat brewing in Edmonton. After just a few weeks on the job Matt knew that this was it.

Hans has four children under the age of five, and continually praises the amazing team at Blindman that allows him to spend time with his family when it matters most. Matt on the other hand is a cat lover and says that Hans has had enough kids for the both of them. While Hans grew up just 1km away from where he lives now, Matt spent most of his life living in Edmonton but has fully embraced the small town life.
