When we teamed up with the good folks at Stockyards Brewing with the challenge of creating a summer-friendly coffee beer, the Algerian Lemon Coffee drink Mazagran jumped right at us, and into a batch of wheat beer! How summer friendly is it? It’s invited-over-for-a-BBQ-and-brought-a-case-of-beer friendly. It’s the-winner-of-the-holding-the-door-contest-between-two-Canadians friendly. It’s made for summer and it’s available NOW!

Young Rival
IPA
6.0% abv

SVP
French Table Beer

At 3%, SVP is approachable, but different than most attempts are creating a “light” beer as it’s brewed with wheat and barley, and fermented with our house saison yeast. SVP is can-conditioned and it’s high carbonation presents bursting effervescence and subtle but complex saison yeast characteristics.
