Quidi Vidi Brewing Company is a microbrewery located in Quidi Vidi village, a neighbourhood of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Founded by David Rees and David Fong in 1996, Quidi Vidi is the third-largest brewer in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, after Labatt and Molson. Its products are available province-wide in liquor stores, corner stores and on draft, and it is the most popular microbrew in the province. It is also the largest microbrewery in Atlantic Canada.
The names of Quidi Vidi's "Northern Lager" and "Northern Light" beers were changed in 2005 after legal action by Northern Breweries. They were rebranded as "QV" and "QV Light". Quidi Vidi brews four other varieties: Eric's Cream Ale, 1892 Traditional Ale, QV Honey Brown Lager, and QV Honey Brown Light. A seventh variety, Iceberg, was launched in 2007/2008, and is so called because it is be brewed from glacial water from the icebergs that are commonly found off the Newfoundland coast.
Quidi Vidi brews all their beers with no adjuncts; that is, no corn or rice, only malt.
Famous quotes containing the word company:
“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
