Description
Our passion for quality beer-making is as strong today as it was when our journey began. From the beginning of a home brewing project in the basement of founders Clayton and Kari Stenson – to twelve years later with the opening of Black Bridge Brewery in 2014 – our mission to create a better beer through artful attention to detail has always remained.

The name Black Bridge Brewery comes from the name of a small iron bridge a few kilometers south of Swift Current, in the rolling south west Saskatchewan prairies. The bridge is well known among residents of Swift Current and has long been the subject of myths, stories of hauntings, afternoons spent fishing in the Swift Current creek which flows beneath and countless wedding and family photo shoots.

Like the beer which has become its namesake, the bridge serves as a humble but beloved icon for those in the area, and one whose spirit is reflected in our values as down-to-earth, strong, honest and proud to represent Saskatchewan brewing.

This has a pinkish-red, no head. Gentle cherry accents, and it's light on the palate. Nice fruit character, very gentle tartness. Gentle, clean and light. I like it.

Clearish red with a small white head. Soured red fruit, dark sugars, cherry and light balsamic. Dark cherry and a dark earthy finish. Smells much better than it tastes.

500mL bottle, pours a clear bright ruby red with a small beige head. Aroma brings outs out tart cherries and raspberries, a touch of balsamic, and wood. Flavour is surprisingly soft, with tart cherries and raspberries, a touch of balsamic, a touch of wood. Very nice fruitiness, with little notice of the booze. Very good.

On tap at Congress Beer House, pours a hazy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is characteristic of an English strong ale (think Fuller's Vintage Ale), with lots of chocolatey overtones. Flavour follows suit, with loads of dark chocolate, toasted caramel, and English bready malt. Really like that chocolate character here—it blends wonderfully with the English malt. Excellent.

On tap at Congress Beer House, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus hops, a little pine, some herbal notes, and bready malt. Flavour is astringent as hell, with paint thinner, perfumey notes, citrus hops, herbal, and bready caramel. Astringent and herbal, with a perfumey finish. It's flawed.

473ml can. (6.5% ABV) Pours a hazy copper-amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves chunky lacing. Dank aroma of caramel malt, orange peel, grapefruit, peach and pine resin. Sweet, fruity flavour of grainy caramel malt, orange, grapefruit, lemon, pineapple and pine resin in a dry, bitter grass finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Well balanced and tasty.

Well made and strong. The alcohol content really shines through. Probably just average for the style, but good for saskatchewan. Bottle in office

Reminds me of innis and gunn. Not so ipa-like like most barleywines. Very oaky and quite sweet. Well made all around.
