HAILEY TENNANT, THE CRAFT BEER CURATOR AT THE COMMON IN THE FORKS
W innipeg’s craft beer scene has exploded over the past couple decades, and few people capture its spirit quite like Hailey Tennant, the craft beer curator at The Common in The Forks. Located at the heart of The Forks Market, The Common is a bustling gathering place known for its ever-changing selection of local craft beers and wines on tap. With 20 taps dedicated to beer and a communal atmosphere that encourages exploration and conversation, it’s where Winnipeggers come together to share great pours, great food and great company. And Hailey Tennant is at the helm. In August 2024, Hailey earned her cer- tified cicerone designation — a globally recognized credential that demands a high level of expertise in beer styles, flavour and service. Hailey utilizes this impressive designation at The Common, where she curates a rotating tap list that highlights the best of Manitoba’s breweries alongside beers from across Canada and beyond.
