Draft Beer
Night Ride - 6.5% West Coast IPA. This beautiful hoppy beer was brewed with barley and wheat and hopped and dry hopped with tons of Riwaka and Cashmere. It pours the kind of brilliantly glowing gold that illuminates the face of a villain in a 90’s action movie when he opens the briefcase filled with stolen bars of gold. The hop character is a lush lovable tropical kind, the Riwaka and Cashmere not your typical West Coast combo, but working so well here. Getting notes of psychedelic lime-aide, grapefruit margarita, white Airheads, if blowing Spring pine pollen was actually kief, and some strawberry seltzer.
Last Crusade - 7% Hazy IPA. We brewed this one with so many grains - barley, oats, spelt, and wheat. Then we hopped it heavily in the spinner and the dry hopper with luscious sacks of Strata and Cashmere. Even just spilling this beer on a table is a delightful sensory experience, but all the more so if you manage to drink it all. Notes of strawberries with sweet dark red flesh, fresh squeezed mandarin juice, ripe mango, aromatic hop oils jumping from the glass, and a fresh bowl of marihuana.
Village of Thoughts - 5.4% Hazy Pale Ale Collaboration with Concrete Blues. We brewed this lovely hazy collab with Al from Concrete Blues. Given Al’s passion and talent for British-Style pub beers, we assumed he was going to ask to make a nice ESB or Mild or something. We were a bit surprised when Al was like, “how about a bright yellow American Pale Ale with some fun hops?!” Village of Thoughts turned out to be one of our favourite hazy hoppy beers we’ve done in quite a while 🙂
We mashed in barley, wheat, and oats, and hopped and dry hopped it with tons of Simcoe and Amarillo. It pours a like glowing golden wheat field, with a creamy white head, and explodes with hoppy notes of Sumo Mandarin, apricot compote, guava pink lemonade, tropical apple flavors, and well sugared Ruby Red Grapefruit.
Paper King - 6.75% British-style IPA. Put on your dad hats, this IPA has some color on it! We brewed this lovely beer with Maris Otter, medium and dark Crystal, and Aromatic malt; hopped it with lots of East Kent Goldings, Styrian Fox, and Hallertau Blanc; and fermented it with our favourite London ale yeast. It pours an autumn wild flower honey color, with a solid khaki head. We’re getting notes of a souped-up Fuller’s ESB, a full moon high tide in the marshes, caramel apples, citrus marmalade, toasted multigrain bread, baked pears, when tobacco smells like raisins, and reading Ron Pattinson’s blog.
Cult Vibes - 5% We really love our little Cult Vibes. Cult Vibes is inspired by Belgian Witbiers as seen through the lens of the F&M saison way of life. It is brewed with barley and malted and unmalted spelt from @DeerCreekMalt , lemongrass and chamomile from @OmaHerbalTeas, a bit of coriander, hopped with our favourite European hops, fermented with our Foraged Yeast Culture, and conditioned in the bottle with our house mixed culture. We presently find notes of the way chamomile turns to cinnamon, fresh homemade applesauce, classy Brettanomyces, ethereal grapefruit mindscapes, wild fall honey, and some tart tropical Smarties.
Lunaire - 6% Barrel Aged Saison. Lunaire has been with us since the beginning. We love how it is always different and evolving, but somehow always the same; like the witness inside your consciousness. We brew Lunaire with local malts from @DeerCreekMalt, hop it with a blend of European and American hops, ferment with our Foraged Yeast Culture, age in wine barrels with our mixed culture, and condition in the bottle. This batch is presently showing notes of classic Brussels-style oaky brettanomyces, where you simultaneously talk about tropical fruits and rustic barnyard horse blankets, but also, wild cherry soda, whiffs of caramel, and some ethereal grapefruits and pineapples.
Night Lines - 7.4% American Stout. Really digging this stout, it is dangerously crushable for 7.4% abv. We brewed it with a lush assortment of British and German dark specialty malts and roasted barleys. It has rich notes of Black Forest Cake, tiramisu, blanched raisins, cold brew coffee, chyawanprash, fresh plums, and some homemade cola.
Side Pulls
Poured from Czech Lukr faucets for an extra creamy head
Fäks Lager - 5% A fun collaboration we did with our pals @HumanRobotBeer. Andrew shared his decoction knowledge as we double decocted a base of Premium German Pilsner and Munich malts, hopped it with admirable amounts of Styrian Fox, fermented it cold with our lager yeast, and aged it sideways in the traditional way for many weeks. We find notes of challah dough, sliced pears, sparkling lemon water, golden honey, fresh crackers, a sassy hop character, and summer grain field.
Pilsner - 5.1%. Our very own Pilsner! Brewed with a decoction mash of Bavarian Pilsner malt, hopped with lots of Czech Saaz, fermented slow and cold with our Lager yeast, spunded at the end of fermentation to capture a lovely natural carbonation, and cold lagered for weeks. Pilsner pours a straw yellow with a rocky white head, and has bright aromatic hop notes of classic Saaz florals and a doughy malt character. There’s a soft smoothness and a dialed malt/hop balance that really sets this one apart from our other lagers. Psyched to have a classic Pilsner in the lineup.
Vienna Lager - 4.8%. We’re so freaking happy with this lager. We brewed it entirely with German Vienna malt and Czech Saaz hops, and fermented it cold and slow with our favourite lager yeast. It has those beautiful doughy lager notes that make you want to drink beer in the sun all day long, as well as notes of golden honey, hard pear candies, lemon poppyseed scones, and just perfect beautiful beer flavors.

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.
Best Bitter - 4.2% This is the kind of beer where you can eat the whole loaf. Brewed with quality British Maris Otter, two types of Crystal malt, and hopped with the classiest East Kent Goldings. We’re tasting lovely notes of fresh homemade wheat bread, cottage marmalade, well seasoned firewood, craisins and dried cherries, classic London-style yeast character, and a couple digestive biscuits. Get moreish!
Bitter - 4.6%. We brewed this lovely pubber with British Golden Promise, dark crystal, and a solid portion of dark rye crystal, ooolala. We hopped it entirely with U.K. hops and fermented it with our favourite London ale yeast. It pours a deep old copper color with a nice khaki head. It has notes of mixed citrus cottage marmalade, apple pie with minimal spicing, Heath Bars, ethereal Twizlers, and a sassy British bitterness. We’re real stoked on this one!
