SMALL BATCH IPA SERIES #5
Pure. West. is the next up in our small batch IPA series. This brew is an ode to old school hop profiles, but balanced with a smooth mouthfeel and hint of haze. We’ve loaded it up with Simcoe, Cascade, and Amarillo. What’s not to love? A nice mix of melon notes and cedar, with a lingering bitterness and a label with extensive Simpsons jokes on it.
Sold OutThis hazy brew is a perfect harmony of tangerine, stonefruit, and coconut. Slightly herbaceous, juicy, with a silky mouthfeel. Expect a combination as good as your favourite cover of Sweet Caroline.
ShopCall & Response is next up in our small- batch one-off IPA series. Bursting with peach, berry and citrus aromas, this badboy is big on flavour with restrained bitterness and big tropical vibes.
Sold OutThe Pineapple Incident is based on a traditional saison, using 2 Row and Wheat malt. Huge Belgian mouthfeel. We conditioned it with coriander and pineapple, adding lemony notes and a slight tartness. A ray of sunshine in a can.
ShopCult Hero was brewed using pilsner malt, oats, and a touch of honey malt. The addition of Cryo Citra and Cryo Columbus hops give this beer an enormous burst of aroma (Think ripe mango and candied peach) with a resinous finish, while Ahtanum hops (new to us!) provide the floral grapefruit flavour! At 7.8%, this one goes down almost too easy.
ShopBarrel-Aged sour brown conditioned on raspberries and tart Ontario Cherries. Aged for over 24 months in oak barrels.
Sold OutThis isn’t just a regular stout. This is our first foeder-aged release ever! We added some delicious toasted coconut, some scotch bonnet peppers and some delicious cacao nibs from our good friends at SOMA Chocolate Makers. And just to round things out, we blended a little bourbon barrel-aged stout in for good measure. The final product is something special. It’s a full bodied stout, packed full of delicious coconut aroma immediately. The coconut carries through on the pallet and then the peppers bring in a nice spice. The finish is chocolatey and smooth.
Sold OutMarzen (Seasonal Amber Lager)
5.5%
355mL
Burnt orange in colour, and slightly malty. This Märzen was brewed for the fall season, and features a clean flavour profile. Brewed using Pilsner, Vienna, and Munich Malt, this beer is perfect for a more flavourful lager option.
Let’s take a simple 2-row grain bill, load it with oats and wheat, then instead of fermenting with our house yeast strain, let’s pitch a ton of Brettanomyces yeast. Then do a massive dry hop of Citra and Cascade!
The result is a unique flavour profile of sweet pineapple and melon, combined with the subtle funkiness of brett! Expect a nice lingering bitterness and highly aromatic beer. While adding brett ‘post-fermentation’ adds a more funky-barnyard brett character, choosing to ferment a beer primarily with brett lends a less noticeable brett character (who’d of thought…). What we do get is more fruity esters, and just enough brett aromatics to know that the funk is there!
