THE BRAINS BEHIND THE COMMON’S BEER LIST

Posted on May 03, 2022 by The Forks Market

You’ve been sipping her selections since January, so it’s definitely time we introduce you to Lauren Richard, our new Cicerone for The Common. She’ll be curating your sips for the next year or so. If you’ve ever wondered how we get such a unique and diverse beer...

Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks (also known as Nestawaya in Cree) has been a meeting place for over 6,000 years – located on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Lakota peoples and resides in the homeland of the Red River Métis. This place also has deep ties with Dene and Inuit peoples, operates with water from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and has welcomed people from all walks of life to trade, visit, and build community. In this spirit, all staff and administration here respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
