Style: IPA - American

ABV: 6    IBU: 50

To admit that the brewers at Half Pints are hopheads is an understatement. This India Pale Ale is unabashedly hoppy, with a grapefruit-like aroma due to a large addition of hops directly to the final tank (a process called “dry hopping”). A firm, toasted malt presence forms the background for all these hops lending balance so it’s not just a one note symphony.

Style: Pale Ale - American

ABV: 4.8    IBU: 11

Like the Kölsch beer that makes Cologne famous, our St. James Pale Ale is a medium bodied blonde brew that’s soft on the palette with a malty finish. Restraint is shown by our hop loving brewers as they add four additions to achieve low bitterness and a floral finish. Slow fermentation gives this beer its smooth fruity flavour that makes us say “yes, we’d gladly have another!”

Style: Red Ale - American Amber / Red

ABV: 5.4    IBU: 20

British crystal malts give this beer its distinctly deep amber body and nutty aroma that persist throughout the glass. The soft underlying hop bitterness is tempered with the flowery aroma of the U.K. Golding hop. Like its namesake, Bulldog Amber Ale is tough on the exterior with a soft disposition, so it’s a great introduction to Half Pints.

Our Stir Stick Stout is robust with ruby highlights and a generous addition of locally roasted fair trade, organic Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee.The beans lend a distinct chocolate aroma and flavour that blends well with the roasted barley and malty sweetness.A woody bitterness rounds out this ale and makes it the perfect match for barbequed buffalo burgers, sweet desserts like chocolate lava cake or with vanilla ice cream as a decadent beer float.

Style: Wheat Beer - Hefeweizen

ABV: 5    IBU: 13

Nothing beats kicking back on the deck at the cabin and taking in a classic Manitoba sunset. Our Hefeweizen captures that jovial atmosphere with a hazy golden body from a blend of wheat, two-row pale, and Munich malts. German style hops balance the fruity wheat malts with a light, spicy character. Finally, clove and banana aromas fill the air due to the specially selected yeast culture.

Style: Stout - Imperial / Double

ABV: 9.6    IBU: 65

Our Imperial Stout is a decadent ode to the art of brewing. Malted & roasted barley come together with a heaping dose of crystal and chocolate malts to form the jet black body. Columbus hops form the bitter backbone and a slow fermentation leads to a smooth finish. The beer is then aged for 6 months plus in freshly emptied Bourbon barrels. The barrel aging adds in a complexity of brown sugar and vanilla notes along with a slight interplay of oxygen that would be impossible to achieve without this expensive and time consuming process. The result is a thick, rich Stout that should be served at 14 C. in a brandy glass with a side of your favourite dark chocolate. Unfiltered.

Style: Bock - Doppelbock

ABV: 8.6    IBU: 17

Brewed in the monastic tradition, bock beers were meant to sustain the body during long fasts required for religious celebrations. This is where the term “liquid bread” comes from, literally meaning big, chewy malt heavy beers were savoured during these times and kept the brothers in sound condition. Our version is thickly malty due to our use of a decoction mashing process (a first for Half Pints!), meaning a portion of the main mash is boiled for an extended period and then re-introduced, leading to an explosion of malty, caramel flavours. We’ve kept a traditional low hopping, and a long lagering phase to smooth out any rough edges, making this the perfect beer for all our malt-loving fans out there.
