Style: IPA - New England / Hazy

ABV: 6.5    IBU: 45

Bold flavours of citrus, pine and over-ripe fruit balanced with a gentle bitterness and malt profile. In 1982, Gary Johnson and Dave Dubeta began construction on a million dollar waterslide project on Lakeshore Drive. Named through a competition, the Wild Rapids Waterslide opened with four main tower slides, three smaller slides for children, and a hot tub. Eventual additions included the infamous Sidewinder slide.

Style: Stout - Milk / Sweet

ABV: 5.9    IBU: 30

A rich stout brewed with lactose, coffee, and vanilla. If you wanted to enjoy a cold beverage in the heat of summer before power came to Sylvan Lake in 1932, chances are you’d have been a patron of Bill and Flo Brown’s ice cutting business. Using a buzz saw and a small horsepower motor, the Browns cut blocks of ice from the frozen lake in winter, stored them in sawdust, and delivered them door-to-door in wooden boxes from the 3/4 ton truck.

Style: Pilsner - German

ABV: 5    IBU: 25

Immensely quaffable, with a snappy noble hop character and crisp finish. Early settlers knew Sylvan Lake as Snake Lake, taken from the Cree name “Kinabik.” Garter snakes would swarm around its shores, especially at Jarvis Bay. As the human population grew, the snakes gradually disappeared. In 1903, the town’s name was officially changed to Sylvan Lake.

ABV: 8.3    IBU: 70

When we hired Octavio Pauley as head brewer in September, 2017, the brewery was an empty building. Snake Lake's success over the past three years is a testament to his dedication and good taste. As he leaves, we're raising a glass (or this can) to everything he's done for us, and looking excitedly towards what's next. Jesse Thompson will be bringing a wealth of experience and mouthwatering ideas to the brewery as Octavio's replacement. We've been working with him for months now and can say with confidence - rest assured, the future will be easy drinking.
