Bad Bones Beer: From a bone-crushing car accident to an Eastern Townships brewery

TW: Images of injuries.

“My brother Dave Heuff and I, along with his wife Gillian Greenberg and my wife Éloïse Audet-Cloutier, are all big beer geeks. Dave and I traveled a lot for beer and started homebrewing together,” says Zack Heuff of Bad Bones, a new brewery out of Dunham as of August 2024.

“I used to be a musician, playing bass and singing in bands. When I started bartending (at Old Montreal’s BreWskey Pub), I fell in love with the product and wanted to learn more,”.

“Brewing has the same balance of technique and art as music, and that’s what hooked me. Talking to passionate brewers inspired me, and I found that brewing gave me a similar creative outlet.”
