MARE OSCURA KELP BALTIC PORTER
Baltic Porter
Colour: Dark
ABV: 7%
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.

SZAMPAN PIWO GRODZISKIE
Colour: Pale Straw
ABV: 3.5%
Suggested Glassware: Pilsner
Tasting Notes: Our Grodziskie is an ode to the ‘Polish Champagne’ of old, a recently resurrected style known for its high carbonation, low alcohol and distinct smokiness. True to style, Szampan is single decocted and incorporates oak-smoked wheat from Germany, as well as locally malted red wheat. Heavily hopped with Czech Saaz and fermented with our house lager yeast, this beer presents pale and highly effervescent with a zippy natural carbonation and smooth bitterness. Feast on aromas of mesquite smoke, fresh thyme and sourdough bread with a dry finish and a pleasant minerality. Can conditioned with krausen for a champagne-like mouthfeel. A traditional beer for modern times, many centuries in the making.

SOGNO CLASSIC AMERICAN PILSNER
Colour: Pale Straw
ABV: 4.6%
Suggested Glassware: Krug
Tasting Notes: Sogno, which means dream in Italian, pays homage to classic American pilsners using a combination of American grown corn and six row barley along with Cluster hops, one of the oldest varieties developed in the States. Expect a full body from the ample amount of corn balanced with a crisp finish and a cloud-like head of foam from the natural carbonation. Relish in aromas of pine needles, freshly baked cornbread, and a hint of honey with a delicate hop bitterness. As a continued testament to our love of lager, we are proud to bring you our version of the American Dream.

LA FREDDA AMERICAN LIGHT LAGER
Colour: Pale Straw
ABV: 3.5%
Suggested Glassware: Ale
Tasting Notes: La Fredda, or “the cold one” in Italian, is our interpretation of an American Light Lager. We used locally sourced pilsner malt from Field Five Farm in conjunction with flaked corn and rice to create a low alcohol and highly crushable summer slapperoni. La Fredda has a touch of corn sweetness and a cracker-like malt character. Delicately hopped for balance and fermented ice cold baby, ice cold. Expect a crystal clear pour with a fluffy head of foam from the natural carbonation and a crisp, clean finish.
Release Date: July 2024
