» About Cascadia Importers
Cascadia Importers was formed in July of 1997 by Tom Heffernan
and Mark Henry. Coopers homebrewing products have long been favorites
of Tom and Mark. When the opportunity arose to combine their love
of beermaking with importing and promoting their favorite homebrewing
products, they did not hesitate. According to Mark, “I’ve
always believed that the Coopers Brewery produces some of the finest
beers, and certainly the finest malt concentrates in the world.
When I started homebrewing in 1985, I never thought I would someday
be helpful in bringing these products to North American hobbyists!”
