Style: Farmhouse Ale - Saison

ABV: 6.5    IBU: 20

Golden yellow in colour with a pillowy white head from the effervescence one may only find as a result of secondary fermentation. Initial flavours of banana, black pepper and citrus fade into a yeast driven earthy character and bone-dry finish. The concentrated effervescence, not only creates body, but also adds a silky, smooth mouthfeel. This quality has earned bottle-conditioned Saisons the reputation for being one of the most versatile beers in the world to pair with food.

Style: Farmhouse Ale - Bière de Garde

ABV: 7    IBU: 0

Keeping with this style, our bottle-conditioned Biere de Garde is a more robust, malt driven Farmhouse Ale with characteristics of caramel, cocoa, burnt sugar and dark cherries. As it ages, the darker brownish hue fades into that of reddish-orange, with the minute oxidation creating a wonderfully complex profile. This beer is a real treat around the two year mark!

Style: Farmhouse Ale - Bière de Mars

ABV: 5.5    IBU: 18

Containing a gorgeous orange hue, this beer derives its intense puckering character from the use of a sour mash. This occurs when the brewer lets the wort sit on the grain and the natural bacteria and yeast sours it. After a subtle sweet fruitiness hits your palate upfront, a long tart finish quickly takes over.

Style: IPA - American

ABV: 6    IBU: 40

A bright ans juicy West Coast IPA designed to quench. Big tropical vibes (passionfruit, tangerine, pineapple & stone fruit) that burst with flavour and quickly rush the palate. Finishing slightly tangy, with a fresh zip.

First seen on Saturday, May 29, 2021

Style: Wheat Beer - Hefeweizen

ABV: 5    IBU: 18

August in a pint glass! Fairly hazy, slightly filtered hefeweizen with juicy Niagara peach prominent. However, the depth of this beer is quick to follow with layers of sweet vanilla and toastiness from the oak. Medium bodied, with a slightly sweet finish.

First seen on Sunday, August 24, 2014

Style: Brown Ale - English

ABV: 5.3    IBU: 20

Malt forward English Southern Brown Ale with hints of burnt caramel, toffee, char, dark toast and roasted nut character from the chestnut addition. The chestnuts are all grown a few kilometres from the brewery and are roasted in house.

Style: Fruit Beer

ABV: 4.8    IBU: 17

Can’t get any fresher if you were face down in the strawberry rhubarb patch! This light, thirst quenching summer ale perfectly balances the sweetness of local strawberries with the tart character of rhubarb. The specialty yeast adds a slight biscuity, pie crust to round it all out. Medium carbonation, with a dry finish.

First seen on Saturday, July 6, 2013

Style: IPA - Sour

ABV: 6    IBU: 50

The wort is soured in the brew kettle for the weekend with lactobacillus and then finished like a normal brew. While heavily kettle hopped and dry-hopped like an IPA the acidity of the sourness creates a different flavour and aroma experience. The sourness contributes some fruity characteristics in combination with the hops giving a refreshingly tart hoppy beer.

First seen on Friday, November 16, 2018

Style: Wheat Beer - Hefeweizen

ABV: 6    IBU: 18

A hefeweizen that is both fermented and aged with oak. Similar to Chardonnay in wine, the rather neutral character of the hefeweizen style really showcases the delicious aromas and flavours of the oak – vanilla, banana, spice (clove), mild bubblegum and toasted wood. The mildly sweet finish carries the big flavour intensity right to the end.

First seen on Saturday, June 22, 2013

Style: Porter - Other

ABV: 7.1    IBU: 30

Deep, dark brown in colour. A complex malt profile of vanilla, burnt sugar and dates blends perfectly with the earthiness & nuttiness of the toasted walnuts. Lastly, the bold, rich flavours of premium Bourbon whiskey derived from the barrels add the final layer of decadence to this cold weather sipper.

Style: Sour - Berliner Weisse

ABV: 4.9    IBU: 8

With a brilliant red hue, this classic take on the German Berliner Weisse style is brewed with fresh Niagara cherries. Its tremendous puckering character derives from the process of adding lactobacillus to the mash and allowing it to sour naturally. After a slight touch of sweetness up front it finishes sour, crisp and clean.

Style: Farmhouse Ale - Other

ABV: 6.4    IBU: 7

Completely unique to the Niagara Region and the Brewery, the Verjus is made by pressing under ripe (green) Pinot Noir grapes from Lepp Farms. Verjus translates to “green juice” which is precisely what it is. Brettanomyces 3 was propagated by our brewers to create a unique in-house yeast variety. The use of 3 different malts impact the body and mouthfeel: pilsen (base malts), flaked wheat, and whole wheat malts. One hop addition of the Magnum variety adds minimal bitterness, resulting in very low IBU’s.

Style: Lager - Munich Dunkel

ABV: 5.5    IBU: 0

First seen on Monday, September 2, 2013

Style: IPA - Farmhouse

ABV: 6.1    IBU: 70

A layered beer with flavour and aroma aspects coming from both hops and yeast components. The 100% fermentation of Brett contributing a significant tropical character along with funky and earthy phenolics. Would make for some good cheese pairings with cheeses like blue cheese as well as some sharp washed rind cheese.

Style: Historical Beer - Kuit / Kuyt / Koyt

ABV: 5.6    IBU: 25

This is a beer style that was popular in the Netherlands in the early 1500’s. It has been said to be the predecessor to the European IPA. It is highly hopped with European noble varieties. Although it might not seem like it on first glance it is a hop forward beer but not in the way we are used to now with our big and bold North American hops. European noble varieties give a much softer, subtler hop character. The malt bill is also quite different as the Dutch tended to use high amounts of oats in their beers as it was inexpensive and readily available. This also sets it apart from its more modern counterparts.

Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale

ABV: 7.9    IBU: 28

efore going to bottle for secondary fermentation, however, it was aged in freshly emptied local Cabernet Franc French Oak barrels for a period of 6 months. The result is an opaque beer of big malt flavour with a red wine vinous quality and rustic, barnyard finish from the brett. Tremendous depth in profile with contributions from the malt, multiple yeasts and barrels.

Style: Stout - Russian Imperial

ABV: 10.4    IBU: 0

Opaque black stout with a tan tinted head and excellent retention. This big, chewy Russian Imperial Stout is fermented with dark plums that have been deliberately left in cold storage for a period of time to oxidize and gain natural complexities. Post fermentation it is then barrel aged for several months to further concentrate. The result is a blockbuster in flavour predominant with roast coffee beans, dark chocolate, raisins, molasses and a very slight hint of roast game. Residual sweetness and alcohol will leave the lips a little bit sticky with a gentle warming sensation.

Style: Stout - Other

ABV: 6    IBU: 25

Despite its pure black colour and big malt character, this beer is sure to surprise once it hits the palate. This stout has actually been kettle soured with lactobacillus, giving it a refreshing component with a burst of tart acidity. While the typical stout notes of roast, chocolate and smoke are there, there is also a notable aspect of tangy, sour berries. Unlike many stouts, it drinks very well in the warm weather months and is bound to tantalize with its uncommon complexity.

First seen on Tuesday, June 21, 2016

Style: Pilsner - German

ABV: 4.8    IBU: 25

A highly approachable German style pilsner, featuring the classic upfront fresh bread-like character. A light grain maltiness that soon fades to the distinctive grassy, flowery notes of the noble hops. Medium bodied, with crisp carbonation that finishes refreshing, clean and dry.

Style: Farmhouse Ale - Grisette

ABV: 4.2    IBU: 25

The Grisette Farmhouse Ale was traditionally brewed for the miners to quench their thirst. Like the refreshing Saison this lower alcohol and lighter drinking Farmhouse Ale is high in yeast-driven aromas and flavours of banana and black pepper while remaining very easy drinking and refreshing.
