One local Brewmaster is on his way to bringing the first micro-brewery to Okotoks soon.

Growing up on a farm near Longview, Luke Wulrich has had the art of making beer in his blood.

He's currently brewing in Saskatoon and has a few pubs in Okotoks which have his beer on tap.

Wulrich hopes his 6 Corners Brew Works can take the next step in the world of brewing those refreshing suds.

"The inspiration for the home project really stems way back to home brewing really," he says. "Growing up watching my dad do some home brewing and all the smells, sight and sounds associated with that brought back some fond memories and then I got into it to when I was old enough to actually appreciate the beer as well and just kept taking too far and eventually got trained as a Brew Master and made a career of it."

Wulrich is looking to build of a 10,000 square foot brewery beside the Okotoks Costco.

He says it's still in the early stages but hopes it will start to take shape at some point this year.

"We're setting the space up as a production brewery to start with, but from the get go there will be a retail component there, you'll be able to come in and have a pint. We'll have some very basic food options  to start with maybe just snacks. We're not really going to tackle the full restaurant end of it."

When it comes to what type of beer Wulrich prefers to make, he says the sky's the limit.

"Primarily we'll focus on ales, we're going to have the versatility to able to do any style that we want. We're hoping because there's so much diversity out there in what you can accomplish with the different ingredients, the different yeasts there's so many styles and flavours that you can get out  it and that's part of what keeps it interesting."

Wulrich is hoping his Brewery will be fully operational by next year.

You can find 6 Corners Brew Works beer at Rylies Cattle Barn, John Henry's pub along with the Econo and CO-OP liquor stores to try a taste for yourself.
