Czech-Style Pilsner
Colour: Golden
ABV: 4.8%
Suggested Glassware: Krug
Tasting Notes: Láska, which means love in Czech, is a perfect representation of our love and respect for Czech-style lagers and the next step in our exploration of traditional styles with our modern twist. You can expect a higher alcohol and more body than our 10° Czech-Style Lager, Zenit, while still remaining just as balanced and crushable. Based off of the OG pilsner, we utilized an enhanced decoction mash using Bohemian pilsner malt, leaving the beer with a higher level of sweetness to balance the massive charge of Czech Saaz hops. It pours a golden honey, with a quaffable head of foam from natural carbonation. Bask in aromas and flavours of wintergreen, wildflower honey and graham cracker with subtle orchard fruit and green tea character from the expressive yeast profile. This beer is our love letter to the Czech Republic, the birthplace of pilsners.

Tasting Notes: This first release stout was brewed with a mix of barley, oat, wheat and rye to create a rich, full-bodied beer. After fermentation, the base of this beer was transferred into recently emptied Canadian Whiskey barrels from Odd Society and Okanagan Spirits for 12 months deeply developing robust aromas of coconut, vanilla and rich chocolate with a complex undertone of whiskey and toasted oak. Indulge in decadent flavours of fudge brownies, caramelized brown sugar and honey spiced whiskey.

Suggested Glassware: Belgian Tulip
Tasting Notes: Mare Oscuro, or Dark Sea in Italian, highlights the terroir of coastal British Columbia. In collaboration with our friend North Pacific Kelp, we utilized four different varieties of kelp locally sourced from Haida Gwaii to create a unique take on a classic Baltic Porter. Made for the winter, this high strength porter was adopted by the Baltic countries from England who began fermenting with lager yeast as it was well suited for the colder climates. The use of kelp in both the mash and whirlpool provides a distinct sea-like saltiness and earthy aromatics with a pleasant minerality. Dive into aromas of dark chocolate covered cherries and sea foam with a robust malt character and bask in the flavours of salted toffee and medium roasted coffee with an expressive umami character. From the Baltic Sea to the beaches of Haida Gwaii, Mare Oscuro is shore to be your fireside companion through the coming dark days of winter.
