Our goal with this beer was to represent the beginning and end of harvest. Last year we took hundreds of pounds of Rosewood Crab Franc skins, sealed them, and stored them frozen so we could use them in the future. This past April, we went to the same vineyard the Cab Franc grapes came from, and trimmed the canes on the vines, making the way for new growth to start. We then took those canes, dried them, and use them to smoke a small portion of the grain we used in this beer. We then brewed a rustic saison base that was then aged on the Crab Franc skins. Our goal was to create a flavour profile similar to those found in piquettes, a style we’ve loved seeing the resurgence in. ‘Then’ displays bright spring fruitiness alongside subtle funk. Then’ finishes very dry with bright and high carbonation. Bottle conditioned.

Immensely drinkable, and cocktail-esque, Catch One balanced bright citrus and summer sun with warm baking spice & pie crust. The quick rinsing acidity is in check with fruit sweetness.  Fans of There’s Always Room will love this one. Fans of soft sweaters, afternoon sun, and a fall breeze will too.

Good Things is a new, once-a-year release that celebrates the past year’s harvest by purposefully selecting a few of our favourite local ingredients to use in a limited release. This year’s Good Things uses two of our favourite fruits from the summer – juicy sweet Nectarines and tart crunchy blue plums, alongside a ton of Rosewood Honeycomb. The result is a rustic Saison that displays funky honey and tart orchard fruit. Fermented dry, but a sweet perception thanks to the honeycomb.

Unstrung Hero uses a considerable amount of Espresso beans added during secondary to create a porter full of creamy chocolate and espresso with a hint of roast. Using our porter known as Three String for the base of this beer allowed  the espresso beans to shine in togetherness with the rich notes of baking chocolate and mocha already present.

Family traditions are passed down from generation to generation typically by word of mouth. We have taken inspiration from that with out Unwritten icorporations a passed down family Chai Tea recipe with our Milk Stout. Rich aromas of cinnamon are complemented by flavours of caradmom and vanilla.

Young Rival is our flagship IPA. Using a blend El Dorado, Amarillo, and Mosaic hops, we focused on creating a juicy and tropical IPA with very limited bitterness, and a simple malt bill that lets the hops shine.
