P.E.I-born brothers Peter and Jeff Grandy are the owners of Holy Whale Brewery in New Brunswick.

As Atlantic Canada is set to reopen a bubble scheduled for April 19, the brothers decided to bring back the P.E.I.-themed beer in hopes of luring Islanders to the mainland.

Brewed with P.E.I potatoes, the beer is a traditional wheat beer, “It’s kind of a goofy beer, but at the same time, the potatoes do add a little bit of a dimension,” said Jeff Grandy. “It’s very starchy and sugary, so it does ferment and makes it a little bit more crisp.”

The idea for the beer was sparked by a conversation with an Islander friend.

“He said, ‘Just whatever you do, do not do a potato beer,’ and then I said, ‘I think we have to,'” Grandy laughed.

“We thought we would do something unique, that would kind of cheesily resonate with folks from each province.”
