Draft Beer

Perfect Noon - 6.5% West Coast IPA. We brewed this classic crusher with 2-Row barley, Aromatic, and light Crystal malt; and heavily hopped and dry hopped it with Strata. It pours a beautifully clear summer honey color with a lacey white head, and has classic West Coast notes of citrus and pine, easy peeling clementines, trying to learn the difference between a Douglas and a Fraser Fir, ripe and sticky apricots, and sneaking some dried dates in your mango smoothie.

The Reluctant Hero - 6.6% IPA. This one was brewed with barley and lots of flaked oats; and hopped with tons of Idaho 7 and Mosaic. It has notes of orange pine tree popsicles, mango curd, Ruby Red Grapefruit, and fresh kumquats.

Opera Season - 4.6% Baby IPA. This one is like when you see a cute tiny baby with a full grown head of lush curly hair; tons of beautiful hop aroma and flavor, but the abv content of something much smaller. We brewed this with barley and malted wheat and hopped it with Sabro, Citra, and Mosaic. It has notes of luscious tropical fruit juices, tangerine, pineapple, mango, white Airheads, rare white toast, as well as some nice classy IPA flavors.

Reflections of Reality 2024 - 12% Bourbon Barrel Aged Barleywine. Who doesn’t love bourbon barrel aged barleywine?! This bad boy was brewed with Maris Otter and Crystal malts, hopped with British and American hops, fermented with our favourite British ale yeast, and aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels. This year’s cuvee was blended from select barrels aged for 9 to 22 months. We’re getting decadent notes of caramelized figs, sticky toffee pudding, clean oak, bourbon nightcaps, toasted marshmallows, Turkish figs, and pear brandy.

The Lady - 4.5% Saison. A light little saison that's very special to us, evolved from the very earliest saisons we brewed here. Mashed with local barley and spelt from @DeerCreekMalt, hopped with an exuberant amount of Hersbrucker, and fermented with our 2024 Foraged Yeast - cultured this past spring from plum blossoms in Gerard’s back yard. The yeast has been slowly evolving as we used it over the summer and it adapts to the brewery. It’s giving remarkably clean classic Belgian fruit notes, Juicy Fruit Gum, abundant honeysuckle, bruised peaches, gentle white peppercorns, delicate spice, and that lovely saison joie de vivre. Always believe in saison.

Solaire Reserve - 5% Foeder Saison.  Solaire has evolved with us over the years, starting in garages and basements (brewed with herbs and spices in some early iterations!), honing in at our original location over 10 years, and coming into its most recent incarnation at our new production brewery. This latest move has brought the addition of foeder fermentation to Solaire’s repertoire. Solaire is brewed entirely with @DeerCreekMalt spelt and barley, hopped entirely with Hallertau Hersbrucker, and is presently fermented in an oak foeder with our Foraged Yeast Culture. The foeder retains a healthy population of our mixed culture as well, so current batches of Solaire come out of the gate with a balanced fermentation profile of wild yeast, brettanomyces, and bacteria.

Solaire has notes of clean vanilla oak, tamarind soda, lemon verbena, anise hyssop, Juicy Fruit gum, cracked white pepper, a gentle acidity, and some peach sweet tarts. Solaire is a special one we’ve always been super proud of 🙂

House Lager - 4.5% We love this beer so dang much. This one features a lovely base of German Pilsner malt and layers and layers of Saphir and Saaz hops. Fermented slow and cold. We’re tasting notes of barley crackers, lemon verbena, when herbs get that citrus flavor, sparkling pear cider, apple strudel, and drifting clouds to carry you to a happy place.

Baseball Beer - 4.3% Lager. This beer is a near perfect accompaniment to America’s Pastime. It’s a solid crusher you don’t need to think about, but if you want to, it has tons of delicate depth to dive into. We brewed this light lager with quality German Pilsner malt and lots of aromatic Basmati rice; hopped it with a solid charge of Grungeist; and fermented it slow and cold with our favourite lager yeast. The beer opens with an herbal lemon hop character, followed by fluffy boiling rice aromas, and notes of gentle persimmons, wheat crackers, the floral section of the co-op, and thoroughly enjoying rice cakes as a grown adult.

Strange Rituals - 4.4% Lager. A beautiful little cool weather lager, brewed with @DeerCreekMalt Pilsner and Double Dutch malts, hopped with choice Hersbrucker and Hallertau Mittelfruh, and fermented slow and cold with our favourite lager yeast. This one hits all those perfect cool weather toasty vibes, with notes of fresh baked crusty wheat bread, ethereal anise hoppiness, snappy crackers, apple/pear strudel, a whiff of lemon and cinnamon, and a nice hug from a clean old man.

Pub Stout - 4.6% We brewed this proud little Pub Stout with malted and flaked barley and a lovely mix of British chocolate and roasted malt. Ambler’s hard water, while not so great on the plumbing in town, is really just perfect for dark beers like this. We’re getting notes of homemade Black Forest Cake, cold Tootsie Rolls, chocolate with caramel crunch, medium well toast, chyavanprash, and maybe a chocolate covered strawberry.

And Again - 4.8% Pub Ale. This lovely pubber was brewed with Maris Otter, crystal malt, flaked barley, and a bit of smoked malt; and hopped with lots of Fuggles. This one conjures all the pub feels: mildly comfortable chairs, antique picture frames, a whiff of a pipe smoking old man; also with beery notes of homemade brown bread, orange marmalade on toast, ripe pear, apple strudel, Chocolate Digestives Biscuits, and a delicate beechwood finish.

Pigeon of the Peak - 6% British IPA. This is one fine daddy IPA. We mashed Maris Otter and some crystal malt, hopped it in the kettle (only the kettle!) with East Kent Golding, Columbus, and Wolf, and fermented it with our London ale yeast. Such a fine beer, it’s hoppy, without the hops being the dominant thing; the malt character is there, but it finishes dry; you can really just drink it! It has notes of orange cream, fresh bread, grapefruit breakfast, granola, apple pie, and even some Twizlers.
