July 1, 2019 – On two separate occasions, we’d stopped into an establishment in downtown Campbellford, across the bridge from our boat, and sampled the wares that were made some miles out of town at an old Church. So, on Canada Day, we first walked through the park to see some of the Canada Day festivities (primarily kid-oriented) .
Then, we unfolded the bikes and set out on an 8 km ride, mostly uphill, to the tiny crossroad hamlet of Petherick Corners, outside Campbellford.
And the angels sang, as we crested the hill and arrived at the Churchkey Brewery.
We got a terrific tour from one of the brewmasters, did a tasting of eight different beers they had on tap, and chose one to enjoy outside, before enjoying the long downhill ride back to town.
Later, a couple boats that we knew were come coming through the lock, so Ben hopped back on his bike and rode down to get some shots of them coming through; we had locked through alone, but they were a bit more cramped.
