Their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arcadianbrewing.com\/about-us\">website<\/a> describes them as being influenced by &#8220;US craft beer, traditional Belgian breweries and classic British and European styles&#8221;, as well as &#8220;experimental small batch brews&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re a very small brewery,\u201d says Kristy. \u201cOur whole philosophy is about small batch and seasonal beers, and celebrating the diversity that\u2019s out there in beer styles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cA year down the line we\u2019re going to be focusing on seasonal offerings and hoping to bring a range of beer styles out.
