Seizing the opportunity Recently, Benchmark Building and Renovations completed one of their first commercial jobs for Picaroons Brewing Company, a popular locally-based brewery that brews traditional British-style ales. That company recently got a new owner who knew Kent through mutual friends, and he reached out to him directly about building an additional outdoor bar. “It gets so crowded in the summertime that they wanted an additional bar space to serve from. So he approached us for it, and I just said, ‘We’ll do it. We’ll figure out a way to get it done.’ We definitely wanted the project, we wanted the exposure. And it turned out really nice. We’re happy that we have that project under our belt.” The brewery itself an older building on the north side of Fredericton, which presented a challenge, because Benchmark had to match the new bar with the old siding and materials used in the old building.
