Drink AwareFrequently Asked Questions
We get asked a lot of questions about our brewery.
We are excited that you are excited about our beer, and we want to answer as many questions as we can about our products.
However, there are a few areas of our process that we don't share. Recipes, details about certain brews and a few other items fall into that category.
We hope you understand that we want to keep making our craft brews to share with everyone and we have to protect our brewery, intellectual property and industry trade secrets to continue that mission.
While we like to have a rotating tap list, there are a few taproom favourites we try to keep around.
Yes you can order by the keg.
Beers are neither filtered nor pasteurized. Contrary to popular belief, it is more often the yeast – not wheat or oats – that can make a beer hazy. Filtering and pasteurization are good methods of killing and removing yeast from the finished product… but they come at a cost. Many beers derive some of their flavour from yeast and their fermentation by products. Filtering and pasteurization can strip the beer of these important flavour compounds.
Lots of our beers are Vegan, please check our labels and beer descriptions. We also have 2 certified Gluten Free beers.
The time it takes from beer to go from grain to glass depends on a number of factors. Simply speaking, there are only two types of beer in the world: ales and lagers. Most ales are fermented at a higher temperature, which allows the yeast to finish fermentation quickly. Unless it is a very strong beer, most ales are ready to drink between 2 and 3 weeks after brewing. Lagers, on the other hand, are fermented at a lower temperature, which increases the amount of time it takes the yeast to finish fermentation. Lagers also undergo a laagering period, where they are held just above freezing for several weeks. This laagering period allows them to develop the crisp, clean finish most people associate with laagered beer. Lagers are typically ready to drink between 3 and 5 weeks after brewing.
As a craft microbrewery, which means that our products are brewed by hand in small batches. While we do our utmost to ensure consistency between batches, the nature of craft brewing makes it nearly impossible to brew identical batches each time. We are also constantly assessing and tweaking our products, as we believe there is always room for improvement. Part of the craft beer experience is knowing that the beer in front of you is a unique creation that may never exist in that form again!.
The grains used in beer are usually malted barley (barley grains that have been soaked in water). The starches from these are turned into sugars which interact with the yeast to make alcohol during the fermentation process.
Hops are the flowers of the hop plant, Humulus lupulus. The job of hops is to work as a bittering, flavouring and stability agent within the beer. They’re usually added to the boil stage in brewing, where the necessary compounds within them are brought out under heat.
Yeast is the third really important ingredient. Yeast is a fungal microorganism – a living being that’s used in the fermentation stage – converting carbohydrates (sugars) into alcohol.
Water is our final ingredient. Not too surprising, really – without it, beer wouldn’t be much of a drink. Beer is around 90% water, which is why it’s so refreshing on a hot day (and why pubs have bathrooms, of course). There’s not much else to say about water in beer, other than it obviously needs to be really high-quality. Top brewers will concern themselves with the sourcing of their water, because the mineral content within will affect the final taste. Running it straight from the tap probably won’t make for the world’s best beer.
When the head settles into a beer after being poured it can leave a residue on the side of the glass. Lace is the ability for a beer to retain its head after being poured and the residue left behind is often called lacing. A beer’s ability to retain its head is caused by the protein content within a beer. Lacing is a sign of quality beer poured into clean glassware.
Original Gravity (OG) is a measure of density before a beer is fermented. The Final Gravity (FG) is that same measure of density after the fermentation process. The difference between these two values is used to calculate the alcoholic content of beer.
An English style IPA has a flavour of caramel malts, hop bitterness, and a rather smooth malted barley base. A North American IPA is often seen as having higher IBUs, higher alcohol, citrus notes, pine-bitter hops and a lack of sweetness.
Beer does not contain any fat. The belief that beer will make you fat comes from carbohydrates that if not burned can be transformed into fat by the body. If you drink in moderation and exercise regularly beer will not lead to weight gain.
The Brewing Process: The fundamental process of brewing hasn’t changed for centuries. The science behind it has. There are 7 main components: Water, Grain (Mashing), Hops, Yeast, Fermentation, Casking & Drinking.

Enjoy the complexity of flavours with our artisanal craft beers, Our beers pour with an full autumn coloured beer topped with a creamy tan-coloured head that leaves a healthy ringed lace as it settles, with a bit of stick on the glass. A touch of hop bitterness provides some citric edge and melds with the acridness of the brew for a perceived sourness. Smoky characters emerge as the beer warms, as do subtle drops of caramel.
To be truly artisanal, we must first learn to taste beer with our taste buds and our hearts, combining the evidence of our eyes and our memories and our imaginations with the experience of our salivary glands. Our effort to craft beers that amaze and inspire requires us to be deliberate about each and every thing we do.
Artful care defines the styles we brew and the glasses we use, the stories behind the names and the label designs, the way we mash grain and produce wort, our selection of hops, the spices and sugar sometimes added to the boil kettle, and finally, the careful, almost spiritual attention given to the fermentation process where yeast transforms wort into beer.

Paul Birch Route 66 Review
Body is light, and the mouth feel smooth. The palate gathers apple peel, light clove notes and a thin sweetness that's touched with caramel. In the middle,awheat malt with pear edge, while a husky, Grainy, wheat twang. Suggestions of bubble-gum are noted.
Simon Tattler Special Branch Review
A light copper to clear, almost hazy with visible vigorous central upstream. Cream like to fluffy off white head, sticky lacing. A sweet nose, juicy, could be peach. This fruit flavour does transfer over on each taste. Mildly warming and an eventual belch
Richard West What Sap Review
Draft at the source. Clearish deep amber color light tan head. Aroma of caramel bubblegum. Taste is boozy burnt caramel and light butterscotch without the butter, toffee. A most refreshing locally produced beer wich clings to the glass with complexity of flavours.
