Life on März
Märzen Lager
6.2% abv
Is there Life on März? We think so! This classic Märzen (may-r-tzen) lager is brewed with a modern outlook! Like exploring the landscape of a once familiar world, this uniquely delicious lager pours a shimmering amber orange with aromas of fresh baked bread, and balanced flavours of smooth toffee, hints of orange and light honey. Wrap it up in a gentle biscuit bitterness for that perfect balance and you have the ultimate fall classic!
Super Crush
Kölsch Style Ale
4.8% abv
Super Crush is super everything: crisp, mellow, easy drinking – and beautifully balanced with a pleasant splash of Centennial hop character for a fresh, snappy finish. Super Crush is perfect whether it’s a super sip on the patio or the next super pairing with your latest culinary creation. Serve it cold and enjoy! Super!
This Is The Way
IPA w. El Dorado, Citra, Cryo Citra & Southern Passion
6.8% abv
In another story from the universe of MERIT, This Is The Way explodes with citrus, tropical melon, mango and passionfruit balanced by a creamy, velvet texture. Brewed with El Dorado, Citra, Cryo Citra and Southern Passion hops, this space juice dances playfully along the palate like a citrus celebration.
Zone
Red Ale
4.5% abv
Comfort zone. Red zone. Strike zone. Getting in the zone. Whichever zone is yours, our classic Red Ale is perfect. Pouring a shimmering garnet-copper with all the crisp, refreshing malt sweetness and mild hop character that makes this style the ultimate goodbye to the heat and an emphatic hello to sweater weather.
Beneath The Noise
Dry Stout
4.8% abv
Restrained bitterness and balanced flavours of cold brew and chocolate fill your cheeks like creamy, sonic waves of flavour. Like the smooth sounds of vinyl, Beneath The Noise is ideal for letting the tone and rhythms of great songs carry you away.
What They Do
Freshly Hopped Harvest Ale
6.7% abv
Hops – little fresh cones of wonder that add beautiful flourishes of aroma, bitterness and flavour to beer. Working with Ladycone Hopyard in Hamilton, Ontario, we selected fresh, whole cone hops at harvest, taking them from right off the bine and straight into the kettle to brew What They Do, a refreshingly hop forward amber ale using classic ‘C’ hops – Cascade, Chinook and Comet – for a sticky citrus profile of grapefruit with gentle pine balanced by a biscuity malt character.
Happy Place
Cab Franc Skin & Vine Saison
8.5% abv
Happy Place, the latest in our beer-wine hybrid series, is a naturally conditioned saison aged on Cab Franc grapes and skins while the canes and vines are harvest-dried, to smoke a portion of the grain, adding tannin and structure. Dry with a piquette-like intensity Happy Place presents delicate red fruit with a restrained tartness and a refreshing finish.
Way Too
IPA w. Galaxy, Vic Secret and Citra
6.4% abv
MERIT has always has a team connection to Welland, Ontario – and Way Too is an IPA that evokes the spirit of Welland’s signature casual phrase – it’s way too everything, in the best ways! Brewed with a popping hop trifecta of Galaxy, Vic Secret and Citra hops, Way Too shows off a bright blend of tropical, stone fruit, pineapple, pine, grapefruit and mango aromas and flavours, with an easy juicy finish. It’s way too. IYKYK.
Young Rival
IPA
6.0% abv
Young Rival is our flagship IPA. Using a blend El Dorado 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.
