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.

Quite mild smokiness. Good, appropriate, carbonation. Nicely cleanly brewed beer. But not a lot to write home about as far as a unique beer. (3.5 jan 2016) ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Mild and muddy base beer is subpar, smoke is nonexistent

Pours with a dark mocha brown creamy head that retains very well while not being overly carbonated. Very well balanced beer with the creamy milkiness coming through just the right amount. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone (3.9 dec 2015)

Can: Poured a clear black color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of coffee notes with some dry roasted malt notes is pretty pleasant. Taste is a good mix between some dry roasted malt with some coffee notes and lightly sweet notes are also noticeable. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable example of the style.

Bottle: Poured a hazy light amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of residual sugar notes with some Belgian style malt with light spices notes. Taste is somewhat cloying with some residual sugar and spices with some bready malt. Body is full with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. OK but lack attenuation and ends up too cloying which impaired drinkability.

Can: Poured a clear amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with some light dry caramel malt notes. Taste is also dominated by citrusy hops notes with medium bitter notes with some dry caramel malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Slightly better than your standard IPA.
