It's safe to say this month was IPA heavy...

We promise they all vary in taste greatly and none of them will feel like the others. Except of course, the "Beach Potion", which is the same base with a different variant added. We recommend trying them mixed together. (Learn more and vote for your favorite below)

NE-Style Pale Ale - 6.0% abv. (Markham)

Summer Pale Ale features a three hop blend of Simcoe, Mosaic, and Southern Passion for a unique mix of mango, tangerine and pine notes. We use a combination of oats and spelt for a soft mouthfeel and hazy appearance, as well as a unique yeast blend for additional tropical fruit character. Hazy, soft, and super drinkable, we know this will go perfectly with warm weather.

Pairings: BBQ Chicken and Fish, Spicy Foods

Czech-Style Pilsner - 5% abv. (Varna)

Made out in the countryside of Lake Huron, this is the best Czech-style Pilsner you'll ever find in Ontario. It contains only premium and authentic Czech ingredients; Stone House Pilsner is a true Czech Pilsner beer. Crystal clear and deep golden in colour.  A very crisp, clean approachable and refreshing pilsner with light straw grass and mild malt grain finish. Only the best SAAZ hops are used in the brewing of this beer to compliment its flavour and aroma.

Pairings: BBQ Chicken and Hot Dogs, Mild Cheese, Fish, Pizza

Belgian Tripel - 9.0% abv. (Simcoe)

It is a highly carbonated golden ale which relies heavily on the flavours produced by our yeast during a longer than average period of bottle conditioning. This beer is very easy drinking, despite its strength, and features an aroma of subtle spice mingled with a generous yeast character. The strength, balanced by a slight malty sweetness and generous carbonation. To be served with a healthy head of foam.

Pairings: BBQ Veggies, Ham, Fresh Basil

Pomegranate IIPA - 8% abv. (Corbyville)

With a fruity smell resembling citrus punch, Frequency is our most aggressively hopped beer yet. This double IPA contains an over-abundance of rich, hoppy notes of grapefruit, pineapple, papaya and a mild pine backbone to bring it all together in a full-bodied hop explosion with a dry pomegranate finish.

Ingredients: two-row flaked wheat, flaked oats and Mosaic, Citra and Simcoe hops

Pairings: BBQ Chicken and Sausage, Bold Cheese, Fish, Pizza.

Milkshake IPA - 5.5% abv. (Hamilton)

Max’s Big Beer is a Milkshake IPA with peach and vanilla. Max has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and over the past three years he and his father Andrew have raised more than $140,000 for research into the disease through Max’s Big Ride, a 600 km trip from Hamilton to Ottawa that they take via cargobike each summer.
