We’ve released a brand new collaboration beer with our friends at Four Winds Brewing Co!
The Steel & Oak x Four Winds Gratzer is a traditional Polish beer made with oak-smoked wheat malt, German hops, and is fermented with lactobacillus.
Pouring a dark copper with a thick tanned head a distinct smokey aroma with notes of campfire and toast rise out of your glass. On your first sip you will notice smoke, toasted almonds and a subtle spiciness, followed instantly by the tingling of high carbonation. It feels like little Kevin Bacons dancing on your tongue. Then the lacto goes to work as this beer finishes with a distinct tartness that refreshes your pallet and prepares you for your next sip. At 4% ABV the Gratzer is a deceivingly light bodied beer reminiscent of a Berliner Weiss, if Chuck Norris made a Berliner Weiss that is.
We legally can’t say the Steel & Oak x Four Winds Gratzer is life changing… but now we don’t need to if you get what we’re saying.
The Steel & Oak x Four Winds Gratzer can be obtained in our Tasting Room or at Private Liquor Stores across Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island.

650ml bottle at Josh. Aroma and taste are sour, fruity, slightly sweet with roasted malt notes. Not bad.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Cloudy light amber color. Light smoke aroma and flavor, but the body is too thin, and the final very weak, while there is no real malt flavor or other elements to create some interest.

Draft @Steel & Oak. Red-amber, thin head. Not sure about that colour. Smoky nose, with toasty undertones. Mostly smoky taste, bit yeasty with a hint of wheaty acidity but not getting any lacto. Toasty finish.

650 ml bottle. Pours a murky brown with moderate head. Aromas of greasy smoke and sour wet wheat. Flavors of same with a tangy finish. Refreshing and tasty for the ABV, but otherwise nothing much else unfortunately.

650mL bottle, pours a dark cloudy reddish brown with a small beige head. Nose brings out notes of smoke and dark wheat. Pretty simple flavours that follow along this line, with a dry palate. Decent, but quite boring.

Bottle - Smoke, bacon and some wheat. Cloudy copper with a decent white head. Bacony, smokey and wheat notes. Nice. As it warms, there is a bit of sourness which I think is style appropriate.
