The Pub Draft List

Pub Draft List

Draft Beer

Overhead Projector - 4.5% Baby IPA. We brewed this one with barley, wheat, and spelt malts, special sugars, and hopped it exuberantly with Amarillo and Mosaic. The abvs are baby sized, but the crazy tropical hop aroma and flavor is full grown. We’re getting notes of mango lassi, peach fruit cocktail, fresh orange juice, white gummy bears, and pineapple rings. The multigrain malt bill provides a background depth in this ethereally light hoppy treat.

Welcome Home - 6.75% Hazy IPA. This juicy and hazy IPA was brewed with barley, wheat, and oats; and hopped with tons of Strata, Chinook, and Sabro. We’re getting super juicy tropical notes of ripe pineapple, mango nectar, fresh tangerine juice, peachy fruit cocktail syrup, and getting real close with a sticky Ponderosa pine.

All of Time - 4.8% New Zealand Style Pilsner. We brewed this fun hoppy lager with Pilsner and Wheat malts, and hopped it generously with Motueka and Mittelfruh. The first aromatic notes jumping from the glass are reminiscent of a quality lager with a lime wedge, but then open up into more NZ hop character of gooseberry, grape, and citrus, ending in a doughy clean lager malt finish. Total crusher.

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.

Sun Vibes - 4.6% Saison Witbier. Oooboy, we’re really in love with this one. Sun Vibes, like its cousin Cult Vibes, takes inspiration from Belgian Witbiers, but as seen through the ol’ F&M saison lense. We brewed it with barley and triticale malts from @DeerCreekMalt, hopped it with aged hops and fresh Saphir, added some lemongrass and chamomile from @omaherbalteas, and a bit of coriander. We fermented it in one of our new oak foeders with our Foraged Yeast Culture. We did not add any of our mixed culture, so the funk and acidity that is present in Cult Vibes is absent here. What you find instead is a bright lemony little crusher of a beer, with notes of sunshine, spring honey, cooled chamomile tisane, citrusy bubblegum, dried mango, bright dandelions, and some psychedelic lemonade.

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 🙂

Vincino Pilsner - 5.1% Italian-Style Pilsner. We brewed this beautiful lager with our best neighbor pasta buddies over at Sorrentino Pasta & Provisions. When we talked about what type of beer we should make, we both mentioned our love of the smell of boiled pasta water (you can always know you’re close buddies with someone when you agree on a love of boiled pasta water), and how some of the nicest lagers are reminiscent of that doughy, light aroma and flavor. We then approached the malt bill by selecting Italian Eraclea Pilsner malt and a good portion of hard red wheat, similar to the wheat Sorrentino uses for their beautiful homemade pastas. We hopped it strongly and  singularly with German Select hops, and fermented it with our favourite lager yeast (which at colder fermentation temps can really accentuate that doughy pasta character of the malt and wheat). We’re getting notes of the goal of ethereal pasta water, late spring pear blossoms, Asian pear butter, an herb garden with anise hyssop somewhere, and a long floral finish.

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.

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.

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.

E.S.B. - 5.6% Brewed with a rich base of British Golden Promise and a beautiful mix of British specialty malts; hopped with East Kent Goldings and a bit of Fox and Columbus; and fermented with our favourite British ale yeast. We’re getting real classic notes of country store marmalade, cherry pie, comforting crystal malts, and appropriately sassy bitterness, some digestif biscuits, and lovely dry finish with whiffs of caramel.

Moreso - 5% British-Style Pale Ale Collab with Meetinghouse. We’re super chuffed with this beer. We had a great time brewing with Colin from @MeetinghouseBeer, mashing in heirloom Maris Otter and select British specialty malts, hopping it entirely with East Kent Goldings, and fermenting it with the toppiest top cropper British yeast out there. It pours a lovely autumn wildflower honey color with a light khaki head, and has the most moreish notes of homemade pear butter, mixed citrus marmalade, triangular British pale ales, whiffs of caramel candy, fresh split oak, Nilla wafers, and a lightly jammed slice of toasted herb bread.
