About
Henderson Brewery was founded in 2013, after industry veterans and beer lovers Steve Himel and Adin Wener decided there was an opportunity to apply craft brewing values and techniques to more approachable beer styles, in order to make beer that anyone would be happy to find in their fridge day after day.
Work began on our Sterling Road brewery in the summer of 2015. In January 2016, we sold our first beer at The Rhino in Parkdale and by May of that year, our taproom and bottle shop were in full swing!
Over the past decade, we've brewed hundreds of different styles, hosted hundreds of thousands of people, packaged millions of litres of beer, and won dozens of brewing awards

On tap. Pours a hazy orange/brown with moderate head. Aromas of bready malts and dull fruit. Flavours are pretty much the same. Homebrew like.

Draught at Pearson. Cloudy orange with retained, chunky off white head of large bubbles. Moderate orange with slight pine aroma. Taste is slight orange and malt is balanced. Not too bad. Aroma hops trump flavor hops.

Draft at the source, with John, cheers! Clear deep amber color. Aroma of spice and fruity esters. Taste has big spice, lightly weird funk, or maybe that's just booze. Interesting

Pours a clean amber colour with a beige head, average retention and some light lacing. Rye grain cereal smell with some sweetness, like caramel notes and hints of oranges. Spicy rye taste with some sweetness, but not syrupy, and a balance of hops to help this. Hints of oranges again, with coffee as well. Even some oak it seems, with vanilla. This is actually not bad at all. An interesting old fashioned strong rye beer.

Can from the brewery. Hazy medium copper under a fluffy long lived off white head that leaves tight lace. Nose is malt forward with some pine and citrus and light fruit. Light+ caramel sweetness and a medium- citrus bitterness. Mouth is a tad thin with soft carbonation. OK. 7/4/7-/3/13

I learned the term "can crusher" for the first time, and it was in reference to this beer. Obviously calling up that easy drinking, let’s go drink a 2-4, type of beer. Which this is, simple, easy drinking, completely unchallenging. Wow, is this not my type of beer. Favours of straw, mild corn syrup, and a touch of mild malt bitterness. And. That’s. About. It. Meh.

Keg at Ottawa Winter Brewfest. Disclaimer: This event used plastic cups, which may have prevented my ability to fully appreciate this beer. Cloudy amber, rich creamy head. Milky nose with slight grapefruit. Mid sweet with medium body and clean mouthfeel. Fruity and piney. Resiny bitter finish. Lacking aroma, edgy malt.
