GREENER PASTURES FRESH HOPPED WEST COAST PILSNER
Colour: Pale Straw
ABV: 5.9%
Suggested Glassware: Pilsner
Tasting Notes: Brewed in celebration of the once-a-year BC hop harvest with hundreds of pounds of fresh Cascade Hops from Barnside Brewing in Delta, BC. It pours a straw yellow with a lasting white head. Aromas of melon, lemon, honey and chlorophyll lead to flavours of kiwi, cantaloupe and tropical fruit. The massive amounts of fresh hops added at the end of the boil give this beer a full body and smooth mouthfeel. Fermented with our house lager yeast for a clean, crisp and refreshing finish allowing the hops to shine.

A PALE AS OLD AS TIME CZECH LAGER
Czech Pale Lager
Colour: Pale Straw
ABV: 4.4%
Suggested Glassware: Krug
Tasting Notes: In collaboration with our friends at Farmhouse Fest, we brewed this beer to mark their yearly celebration of carefully crafted beers and ciders. This historical-style lager encapsulates everything we love and respect about brewing. Intentionally made the hard way to pay respect to the beers and brewers that have paved the path before us by using traditional methods. A triple decoction, with under-modified floor-malted pilsner malt from our friends at Hogarth Malt in Alberta provides a deep and complex grain character which is balanced by the earthy and grassy notes from the heavy additions of whole leaf saaz hops. We then lagered a portion of the beer in neutral oak barrels to add rustic notes and emulate the historical lagers of times before. Kreusened and conditioned in the can for natural carbonation which provides a smooth mouthfeel and helps carry the bitterness to the back of the palate creating high drinkability. We hope you enjoy this beer as much as we enjoy Farmhouse Fest!

LUCE DRY-JAPANESE STYLE RICE LAGER
Japanese Style Rice Lager
Colour: Pale Straw
ABV: 4.8%
Suggested Glassware: Pilsner
Tasting Notes: The name takes inspiration from one of our favourite Japanese Lagers, which translates to “Morning Light” and this beer truly is sunshine in a glass! This beer underwent a cereal mash in the kettle with high quality Haiga rice from our friends down the road, Fujiya. The addition of the rice lightens the body and adds a unique grain character, making this beer incredibly crisp and refreshing. Lagered long and cold and naturally carbonated, Luce boasts aromas of petrichor, honey, and a restrained herbal tea hop character.
Release Date: August 2023
