Description
Our story began in 2008, with a small location in downtown St.Thomas. We set out to start the brewery, entrenched in the history and folklore from years past. The idea was to create a brewery that honoured the history and heritage of our small industrial town.

Over the next 5 years, the craft brewing industry really started to take off and so did the production at the small brewery. The need for additional tanks and production equipment meant a new location was needed. In 2013 the brewery changed locations to its current location 130 Edward Street.

Our production facility features a 3 vessel 20HL brewhouse along with 8-40HL and 8-20HL fermentors, canning line, tap room and full retail store.

Bomber from the LCBO. Pours a brown colour with mahogany highlights. The head is beige, creamy, with good retention but not much lacing. Beautiful roasted malt nose with some light sweetness from the maple syrup. Nutty notes as well and coffee. Lots of this reflects in the taste, but harder to detect the maple, and alcohol is felt. The roasted malts are well-blended with some fruitiness. Pretty interesting brew, but would be hard to drink more than one of these (sweetness not helping).

Comes together pretty well for what it is. The cranberry works in nicely with the saaz and pilsener elements. Pours golden amber without mucj head or lacing. Finishes sour and a little sweet. Tap at arrow and loon.
