Description
Collective Arts Brewing is a grassroots craft brewery that aims to fuse the creativity of craft beer with the inspired talents of emerging artists and musicians. Collective Arts Brewing was founded on two beliefs: The first that creativity fosters creativity. And the second, that creativity yields delicious pints. We feature limited-edition works of art on our beer cans and labels, and we work to make sure the liquid on the inside is as diverse and creative as the artists we profile.
Our brewery is located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This is where we brew everything from our flagship IPA Ransack the Universe to our World Beer Cup-winning Stranger than Fiction porter. In our taproom we pour up to 10 different beers at one time, samples and flights, we host brewery tours and live entertainment weekly. Stop by to see our beer bottle gallery showcasing every artist we’ve worked with over the past 6 years.

Tap at the brewery. Collective Project 3 Papaya Saison 6% Clear gold with a wheat saison and mild fruit aroma. Definitely more saison than papaya with lots of spice, wheat and some funk while the papaya mostly comes through in the aftertaste.

On tap at the brewery and can in Japan. Gotta say I love the name: Ransack the Universe IPA 6.8%
Nice matte copper color, lightly bitter hop bouquet featuring fruits and herbs. Lovely crisp body with bright hoppiness giving me the taste of fruits and mild pine. My favorite of the tasters so I brought some to share in Japan.

Can from LCBO Ottawa at parents’ in Ottawa and then home in HK. This review from home in HK, not as fresh surely. Clear deep golden pour, white head. Aroma is dank ripe tropical fruit and pine resin with some booze. Nice. Taste follows - delicious citrus, pineapple, pine flavor, deep bitterness, some boozy warmth, lasting finish. Bigger in every way than expected - really good. Smooth carbonated palate. Excellent IPA. Would definitely get again.
