Bergsteiger is our Schwarzbier. Crafted from an assortment of German malts, both pale and roasted, it carries the flavor and character of tradition with the elegance and refinement of modern brewing methodology.

Pouring a clean chocolatey color into the glass, it carries notes of dark chocolate, bread crust, nuttiness, and mild caramel sweetness balanced by a sturdy noble hop character.

Bergsteiger is an ideal beer for cooler weather and a companion to adventure. Enjoy it in good spirits and in good company!

Can (Autumn 2025) from Steve. Opaque, dark brown, light sparkle, thin head with fair retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt, brown bread crust, toffee. Taste is strong roasted malt, toffee, brown bread crust, Noble hops, hint of nuts. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and crisp finish. Good representative of the style.

Tewks side pour, 11/6/25. As pictured.
Mild but discernible roast mixing with base malt to give a creamy-sweet-caramel-coffee character. Clean mineral, moderate fruitiness and a touch of earth and dried herbs.
Lightly roasty but tastefully-so. Dark chocolate never gets bitter or ashy. Excellent base malt presence with a dry, crisp, mildly bitter finish replete with light caramel and hints of toast and vanilla. Very polished and flavorful and very drinkable.

Toronto sports night. Leafs sink Flyers and Jays up on Doyers. Fantastic Schwarz. Especially on a chilly night.
