Description
Small dogs with big dreams. The Stray Dog Brewing Company is more than just beer; we represent the spirit of adventure and the courage to pursue the passions that enrich our lives. Many people choose to give up on their dreams because of fear of failure, but yearn for something more. Metaphorically, a lot of us feel chained up in one form or another. These chains can be the result of external forces or self-imposed. The symbolism of a Stray Dog is the will to break free from these chains and venture out into the unknown. It represents freedom and defiance of a life of confinement and taking the risk to do something great even if it means leaving the security of the current life you’re living. The road ahead is unknown, but you’ll never know what possibilities lie ahead unless you venture out.

Lightly hazy golden-orange colour with a nice bubbly-frothy white cap, good stay and some creamy-bubbly lacing. Orange juice aromas with lemon zest, and other citruses, with hints of grassy hops. The herbal grass continues into the flavours with some good hops over the citrus base. Refreshing, crisp, a touch of bitterness, mild tart and dryness. A really nice hazy-juicy and grassy IPA.

Tap at Redneck Bistro in Calabogie. Hazy orange yellow pour with fine white head. Aroma is bitter orange mango. Taste is effervescent pithy orange bitterness with a bit of cream and tropical fruit. Palate is on the rich side but with a good fine bubbly carbonation to balance. Very fresh tasting and yummy. Lasting bitterness on the finish.
