BUSINESSES
To Cap It All Off…
What couples well with massage and relaxation? A great beverage. There are
craft-beers now being brewed and tasted at our very own small-batch brewery, right here in the Keating area. “Bold beers for strong minds,” are what owners Michael and Karen Kuzyk are creating at Category 12 Brewing. Michael brings a PhD in Biochemistry to their new business, so don’t worry, there’s a doctor in the house. Category 12 opened December 19th, and proudly uses only the highest quality ingredients, and locally made (as in one km away) Canadian equipment. Visit the Lab
soon at 2200 Keating X Rd, or for more info, www.category12beer.com.
