Our central Alberta road trip continues, and this week takes us to the town of Rimby, Alberta for a chat with Hawk Tail Brewery’s Derek Nordstrom about supporting all things local and the importance of a diverse ownership group.Hawks are wild, they’re free, and they’re a symbol of Alberta. They’re also found in regions all around the world, so a name like Hawk Tail resonates in almost any market where Derek and his co-owners would want to take the brand. For now that means locally in their taproom in the small town of Rimby, Alberta. Their taproom has become wildly known not just for their great beer but also for their fantastic food, with folks traveling from as far as Lethbridge just to try their charcuterie board. The atmosphere of the taproom and the tasty food didn’t happen by accident, and had their ownership group been less diverse it may not have happened at all. Derek explains that the men in the group had a very simple vision: Beer. Would they have a taproom? Probably. What would it look like? Perhaps some 2x4’s for a bar and a few lawn chairs. Thankfully they weren’t in this alone and the women in their ownership group had a much clearer vision: a space and an experience that people would be willing to drive across the province for, and that’s exactly what they ended up with.The experience that their loyal supporters come for is driven by Hawk Tail’s support for their own community. This starts with the food in the taproom, pretzels sourced from a local coffee shop, and ribs from a local butcher. It continues with how they’re giving back to their community, like donating 15% of their sales to the Rimby food bank during the COVID quarantine, or their Community Takes Flight initiative where they support a different community group every month using the proceeds from every flight of beers sold in the taproom. “I'm just shocked that we built something that people want to drive for"— Let’s Meet For A Beer: website | facebookAlberta Beer Festivals: website | twitter | instagramDerek Nordstrom - Hawk Tail Brewery: website | instagram | facebookBud Kelly - Troubled Monk: website | twitter | instagram | facebook

65 - Derek Nordstrom (Hawk Tail Brewery)

Howard Farran

Dr. Nordstrom grew up on a farm in Viking, Alberta. His father, Dr. Bryan Nordstrom, has been the dentist in Viking since 1980. Dr. Nordstrom graduated from High School in Viking and then attended the University of Alberta in Edmonton where he achieved his Bachelor of Medical Science degree, and then his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2005.   After Dental School, Dr. Nordstrom moved to Whitehorse, Yukon to work for the Pearson Dental Group, where he practiced general dentistry in both Whitehorse and Watson Lake for two years. Dr. Nordstrom gained immeasurable experience from his time in the Yukon, guided by two great mentors, Dr. Ron Pearson and Dr. John Stern.   Dr. Nordstrom married his wife Angela Sachs in 2007, and they decided to buy a dental practice in Alberta to be closer to family and friends. They investigated both Rimbey and Wainwright as potential locations, but settled on Wainwright. They have operated Nordstrom Dental in Wainwright since 2007, and have built the practice into a successful business. In 2012 they decided to expand their business and Rimbey was the obvious choice for them considering the proximity to Angela’s family, as well as the thriving and dynamic nature of the Town of Rimbey and surrounding areas.   Dr. Nordstrom and his wife Angela have one son, Truman and a daughter, Lucia. Dr. Nordstrom enjoys the great outdoors, bee keeping, and is an avid hunter. Angela is an accomplished artist, although her children seem to take up most of her time now, leaving little for her to pursue her artistic passion. The Nordstrom’s are very excited to be able to spend more time in Rimbey and plan to take full advantage of the many outdoor activities (especially the lakes) that can be enjoyed in the area.   www.rimbeydental.com
