New Beer - Pumpernickel!
Our Lab Series of beers continues with the introduction of Pumpernickel!
When my mother would come home from the grocery store with a large round loaf of pumpernickel, it was sign that we were about to have guests. To this day, those dark rye notes still remind me of good times with good friends. Don't worry though, we decided to leave out any of the spinach dip flavour with this beer. Our Roggenbier offers a prominent rye character with a subtle accent from the hops Cheers, Paul.
Style: Roggenbier

Carrot Cake Beer !
This our 2nd year with this fun and delicious beer.
For years customers have been asking us for a pumpkin beer, but there is already quite a selection of pumpkin beers, so we decided to make a carrot cake beer instead.
Like all of our beers, there is a story behind this brew. My wife and son were discussing my birthday years ago, and decided that carrot cake would be a great selection for my birthday, as they both knew that I loved carrot cake. Alexander was 12 at the time, and Kelly wasn't able to drive with her electric wheelchair, so getting a cake from the store was going to be a challenge.
Alexander decided to ride his bike to the grocery store, bought the cake, placed it gently in his backpack and then biked home. If you looked carefully, you could maybe see one small flattened spot on the side of the cake, but in my mind it was perfect. To this day carrot cake still reminds me of my birthday and great times with my family.
I hope you will enjoy this great beer and develop your own great memories around carrot cake.
Please join us on Thursday October 10th for the launch of Carrot Cake Beer. We will be serving complimentary pieces of carrot cake from our friends at Zola's restaurant in Bells Corners.

The Beer formerly known as Sour Cherry Wheat
In 2018 we introduced a beer called Sour Cherry Wheat. The feedback we had on the beer was tremendous. The feedback on the name, was a different story.
We had numerous people expecting this to be a beer that was sour in style, not just sour in flavour.
So, with that in mind, we are bringing this beer back for 2019, but with a proper name - Cherry Radler.
Same beer, proper name. Get it July 19th!!
