A contemporary take on the classic German pilsner, ‘Sociable’ is crafted using the finest pilsner malt, German lager yeast and Czech Saaz hops. The end result is a pilsner that imparts notes of bread crust, lemon zest and pear, finishing with a subtle hint of spice.

Style: IPA - Session

ABV: 4.2    IBU: 20

Our flagship session ale swoons the palate just like a swirling circular current, or an 'Eddy'! Dry-hopped with Citra and Galaxy, Eddy delivers ample grapefruit, tangerine and floral flavours with a well balanced finish that encourages repeated sessioning due to its low alcohol content and subtle bitterness. Don't be scared, jump right into an Eddy of flavour!

Style: Lager - Pale

ABV: 5    IBU: 15

Meet 'Runner Duck', a crisp Canadian Craft Lager with notes of straw, cracker, and bread crust that finishes with a touch of sweetness. This beer is made as a tribute to Ontario farmers, who make use of our spent grains for supplemental animal feed, including our historic farming partner Apricot Valley Waterfowl, who breed and raise Runner Ducks!

Style: Bitter - Extra Special / Strong (ESB)

ABV: 5.2    IBU: 32

Named after a historic English town in Shropshire County and the road in Scarborough where Common Good calls home, ‘Ellesmere’ is our take on the classic English amber ale also known as extra special bitter (ESB) or strong bitter. Made in an approachable style using authentic English hops (Fuggles/EKG) and malts (Maris Otter), this classic ale has notes of biscuit, toast, caramel and fruit cake, and pairs fantastically with pub food, steak, and Indian curries.

Style: Lager - Japanese Rice

ABV: 4.6    IBU: 10

Traditionally, a ronin is a samurai without a lord. In this case, we've replaced the more traditional Sorachi Ace with a newer Celeia hop. So it retains all the pale yellow dry maltiness of a Japanese Lager, but is subtly lead by the citrus and floral notes of the Celeia. So this ronin may have a new leader, but sometimes change is good.

Style: Lager - American Light

ABV: 4.2    IBU: 10

Taking inspiration from some of our favourite Caribbean beers, we set out on brewing a light, crisp, and highly refreshing pale lager, perfect for just about any situation we can think of. This beer is hopped gently with Calypso, giving it subtle hints of pear, lime and melon. Relax and turn your brain off for a while, you’re on island time now.

Style: Stout - Oatmeal

ABV: 5    IBU: 30

This rich Irish oatmeal stout gives off delicious notes of milk chocolate, vanilla bean, medium roast coffee and a whisp of smoke owing to a deliberate blend of imported malts from the British Isles, and is a fitting tribute to both the historic Irish county and the name of the Scarborough neighbourhood where Common Good is based. Smooth and rich, we’re certain this is a stout that you’ll repeatedly enjoy drinking but can also be used in your favourite stews, gravies and other culinary endeavours!

Style: Porter - American

ABV: 7.2    IBU: 50

If this doesn't get your motor running, we don't know what will. A classic twist on the original Imperial Porter, this malt bomb is fueled by 5 different malts and Columbus hops, and roars to life with flavours of coffee, plums, raisins and figs. Take it for a spin. It purrs like a kitten.

Style: Stout - Oatmeal

ABV: 5    IBU: 30

If you’ve ever had trouble deciding between coffee and beer, this is your lucky day. We’ve infused our classic oatmeal stout with a rich, premium dark roast. It’s still the creamy, malty, chocolatey stout you love, only more coffee-er (which, if you’re wondering, is a highly technical brewing term).

Style: Kellerbier / Zwickelbier

ABV: 4.8    IBU: 20

Our most recent foray into the re-creation of classic beer styles has us tackle the German Kellerbier. Originating in Franconia, the style was historically an unfiltered amber lager when it was brought from the underground caves after a long slumber, but, due to the shift in market interest, now takes on a more pale hue. Expect straw, bread crust and a touch of spice, with a soft body and low carb. As is tradition, this one is best enjoyed in nature!

Style: Festbier

ABV: 5.7    IBU: 25

Germany has been responsible for so many immensely popular beer styles over the course of beer history, but Festbier is perhaps one of the lesser known styles save for its notoriety for being poured at Munich's annual Oktoberfest. Traditionally served in dimpled mugs called Maßkrug, this rich, full bodied golden lager features notes of honey, straw and freshly baked bread with a subtle noble hop spice and off-dry finish. Enjoy it while you can, it’s sure to go quickly!

Style: Australian Sparkling Ale

ABV: 5.5    IBU: 25

Picture yourself floating down a cool river on a hot summer day! That was the inspiration behind this highly refreshing sparkling ale, a member of the pale commonwealth beer family. The Citra hops impart tangerine, melon, stone fruit and floral flavours, finishing with a zingy carbonation.

Style: IPA - American

ABV: 6.2    IBU: 35

For Wildstyle No. 6, we give you our take on the American IPA, a hybrid approach between a classic West Coast and contemporary New England-style IPA. Hopped with Simcoe, Citra, Centennial, Cascade and Amarillo, it opens with a floral aroma, and imparts orange peel, grapefruit, cracked pepper, pine and subtle tropical fruit notes on the finish. With this beer, East truly meets West!

Style: Märzen

ABV: 5.7    IBU: 20

Just like the Golden Lion in the Bavarian coat of arms, this "Marzen" (or "March" lager that is traditionally aged for the summer in preparation for Oktoberfest) is a Bavarian stalwart. With rich, malt and biscuit notes grounded in the distinct grassy spice of Hallertau hops, Golden Lion is sure to be the "mane" attraction (sorry, that was bad) at any celebration between now and Oktoberfest.

Style: Pilsner - Other

ABV: 4.7    IBU: 20

Meet Lupulus, the second in our series of aromatic dry-hopped pilsners, this time utilizing the New Zealand hop Wakatu. Crisp, bright and crushable, this unfiltered take on the style delivers hints of lime, spice and floral notes, making sure you know that this is no ordinary pilsner.

Style: Pilsner - Italian

ABV: 5.2    IBU: 30

July 24, 2023 marked the (early) end of Scarborough's iconic Rapid Transit (RT) train line after 38 years of operation. As a powerful symbol and stimulus for debate about transit accessibility issues, we decided to commemorate its legacy with an Italian Pilsner - the "Champagne" of lagers. With a backbone of a wonderful biscuity aroma from a European Pilsner malt, which accent the subtle grassy undertones, this beer highlights elements of spice and fruit amid refined citrus notes of tangerine from a subtle dry-hop. Refreshing and enjoyable; like the RT in decades past. Arrivederci and RIP RT!

Style: Pale Ale - New England / Hazy

ABV: 5.5    IBU: 35

Wildstyle makes its triumphant return in the form of this quaffable hazy pale ale, utilizing the experimental hop HBC 522. Smelling sweet floral aromatics and citrus fruit to open, we taste clementine, nectarine, peach and evergreen on a super soft body with a low balancing bitterness to finish. A pleasure to drink, this may just be our best Wildstyle yet.

Style: Lager - Munich Dunkel

ABV: 5.2    IBU: 20

A dark beer first brewed by Benedictine Monks in the 12th century, and later refined by the introduction of lager yeast and kilned malts, the Munich Dunkel is generally accepted as 'Der Konig' - or 'The King" of dark lagers. Our version pours deep brown with hues of garnet red and delivers a Wagner-like symphony of flavours including chocolate, toffee, port, toasted bread and buckwheat honey with a crisp finish. Long live 'Der Konig'!

Style: Stout - Russian Imperial

ABV: 9.1    IBU: 65

So, we aged our Russian Imperial Stout in Bordeaux and bourbon barrels. If that sounds good to you, wait 'til you taste it. You'll notice the traditional "stoutish" espresso notes, but the aging process has imparted a tapestry of currant, blackberry, tobacco, raisin and coconut flavours. Just as warming as a furry Russian hat, but way more enjoyable to drink.

Style: Sour - Fruited

ABV: 4.2    IBU: 10

For the third iteration of our Pretty Bird kettle sour series, we went with the classic stonefruit combination of peach and apricot, a perfect summer pairing. As always, the base beer is refreshingly puckering, this time hopped with Citra to provide a more tropical, citrus forward accent. Think fuzzy peach meets dried apricot, in the best way possible.

Style: Lager - Amber / Red

ABV: 5.3    IBU: 23

For our third collaboration with local Scarborough homebrewer David Chang-Sang, we decided to revisit our use of Red X malts and brew a traditional German Red Lager (or Rotbier) with Hallertau and Magnum hops. Lagered for 12 weeks and naturally carbonated, our rendition imparts gentle malt derived flavours of bread crust, honey, oak and a hint of caramel, all while remaining highly refreshing and easy to drink. A portion of the proceeds of this collaboration will go to Agincourt Community Services located in Scarborough.

Style: IPA - American

ABV: 6.1    IBU: 35

Agitation, our west coast IPA, is back with a new and improved recipe. Hopped with Centennial, Chinook, Simcoe and Cascade, it opens with a floral aroma and imparts orange peel, grapefruit, cracked pepper and spruce with a hop forward finish. Our take on the WCIPA is a refreshing contrast to the current prevalence of more sweet and tropical fruit forward IPA's, which might ruffle some feathers!

Style: Lager - Dark

ABV: 4.8    IBU: 15

Meet Gekko (Moonlight) Ronin. A dark counterpart to our multiple-award winning Pale Rice Lager. This beer is velvety smooth with expressive notes of chocolate, roasted barley, toffee and nuts, with a super dry crispy finish keeping true to the Japanese dark beer tradition. Pair it with your favourite foods such as ramen, chicken wings and curry/rice bowls. It is the perfect companion to fall and winter nights, especially when the moon comes out!

Style: Wheat Beer - Witbier / Blanche

ABV: 5.3    IBU: 15

The first collaboration from Common Good and Grain & Grit! We decided to brew a contemporary take on the Belgian Wit, infusing it with hibiscus which has imparted a lovely rosy hue. Featuring captivating floral flavours, orange peel, hay, cracked pepper and a dash of tartness, this Wit is well balanced and easy to drink. The perfect compliment to warmer weather!
