I’m naturally good with numbers so accounting is a good fit with my personality. I was working as a general accountant at a furniture store here in Winnipeg, when my ex-husband, Dave Rudge, who is still my business partner, decided to go to brewery school. I followed him to Vancouver, then Regina. When the insurance company I was working for was bought by Great West, I had the opportunity to take a package. We knew we wanted to open a brewery, so we said let’s do it. We’re young, we can afford to fail. We moved back to Winnipeg and started Half Pints in 2005.
Nicole Barry changed from a white collar job to running a brewery.
