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.

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.

Merriment - 7.2% Our annual holiday IPA. Brewed in the West Coast style with good barley and adequate crystal malts, and joyfully hopped with lots of Chinook, Cascade, and Centennial. Notes of good friends and caring about life, strawberry candy with strawberry wrappers, classic citrus/pine dialectics, sneaky Twizzlers, cold apple pie, a dry maltiness, and a couple smashed grapefruits.

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.

I Will Be You - 4% Saison. We brewed this crushable saison with pilsner malt, and triticale and wheat from @DeerCreekMalt; hopped it with aged hops, and fresh Hersbrucker and Hallertau Blanc; and fermented it with our 2024 Foraged Yeast Culture. It has been a lot of fun watching the Foraged Yeast evolve and adapt to the brewery over the course of the year. It seems to really have settled into its own, fermenting fast and bone dry, showing notes of farmhouse witbiers, ethereal fruit cocktail, bubble gum, and gentle grain flavors. I Will Be You carries these notes and brings some dried pineapple, sourdough herb bread, donut peaches, and white peppercorns to the mix.

Moeder Seizoen - 6.5% Foeder Saison. An old F&M classic returns for a fresh debut in the Foeder. We mashed Pilsner malt from @DeerCreekMalt, hopped it with lots of noble European hops, and fermented it in an oak foeder with our Foraged Yeast and whatever wild microbes (brett and bacteria) that have taken up residence in the wood. We’ve lovingly referred to this one as Foeder Moeder, and now you can too!

This beer feels like a new incarnation of its old self, with huge notes of ripe ripe peach and apricot jumping out of the glass; it has a balanced acidity and oak character, with whiffs of salt spray, miscellaneous herbs, some Fruit-Roll-Ups, and the Saison Joie de Vivre.

Barrel Aged Gmork - Imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels 12%

Side Pulls

Poured from Czech Lukr faucets for an extra creamy head

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.

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.

Deciduous - 5.4% A beautiful little smoked lager that is really perfect for this cooler weather. We brewed this one with German pilsner and Munich malts and an appropriate heap of smoked barley. It was hopped with Tettnanger and Hersbrucker and fermented slowly and coldly. We find notes of scratchy sweaters by the campfire, apples cooking, dried herbs hanging, pancakes with crispy edges, and a few peppercorns.

Hand Pumps

Served cellar temp from our stillage via British beer engines

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!

Robust Porter - 6%. This porter is one heck of a nice ale. We brewed it with lots of British Golden Promise, crystal, chocolate, black, and roasted malts; hopped it with some Centennial and lots of East Kent Goldings; and fermented with our favourite British ale yeast. It has notes of cool chocolate baking powder, dark cherry Twizlers, chocolate covered strawberries, whiffs of cedar, a fresh bag of coffee, and some cold raisins.

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.
