About
The Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery leads the Craft Beer Revolution in Ontario. Brewing radical Beers and creative Ales right on the waterfront in downtown Barrie since 2004, the Flying Monkeys was the first Ontario Craft Brewery to truly recognize the need to overthrow the conservative regime of macro-brews and timid small batch taste-a-likes and create a new Culture of Craft Brewing in our province.

Casting off the comfortable and respectable cloak of the Robert Simpson Brewing Company, and revealing our true selves as the Flying Monkeys late in 2008, we gave rise to the the collective creativity of our Brewery and committed our Brewhouse to the adventurous longings of the growing culture of Craft Beer Lovers in Ontario.

Green Man Imperial Lager from Flying Monkeys
13 years ago
7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Strange beast but a good one. Pours clear amber with decent head and lacing. Carbonation is pretty high but it’s a lager. Aroma of malt, some booze and lots of piney hops. Definitely good for category, and even holds up well next to most pale ales. Tap at Session.

Getting Jiggy With It from Flying Monkeys

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Another great IPA today from Flying Monkeys. Better than session and runs pretty evenly against Mosaic. Nice tangerine head with some other sweet fruit. Pours cloudy orange with good head and lacing. Bitter and even spicy finish. Average carbonation. Good mileage on aftertaste again. Flying Monkeys definitely had best showing at Session this year.

Spanky's Big Fat Stout from Flying Monkeys

8.4/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 7.5
Wow. I’ll spank the monkey over this beer for sure. Amazing integration. Pours black with good mocha-coloured head and lacing. Roast malt with cane sugar, caramel and chocolate. Finishes sweet and bitter. Great balance on this beer - definitely the best beer of Session in 2013. Hope they keep making this.

Decent beer but not enough of one thing or the other. Pours dark brown with good head and lacing. Some roast malt - the beer is more dark than it is wit. Average carbonation. Tap at Session.

6.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Pours dark brown with ok head and lacing. A little too sweet for my taste. Lots of hops and candied or caramel malt here. Barrel aroma is well-balanced and integrated. Finishes sweet, texture thick and syrupy. Average carbonation. Tap at Session.

Red on Red from Flying Monkeys

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7
A reddish copper ale with a thick mocha head. In aroma, sweet pungent caramel malt with resinous and catty hops, and faint sulfur. In mouth, a nice pungent treacle malt with light menthol and resinous citrusy hops, well made.
