Description
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE A HOBBY WAY TOO FAR…
Back in 2007 Graham Sherman met his buddy and Tool Shed co-founder Jeff while working on Government / Military IT infrastructure and satellite communication projects throughout Afghanistan. They connected over a love for taking their hobbies WAY too far and Tool Shed Brewing is the natural result of two good home brewing friends that took their favourite hobby further than most.
From its inception in Graham’s back yard tool shed on a basic 5 gallon home-brew system, Tool Shed Brewing Company has always been destined for great things. Today Graham and the amazing team at Tool Shed bring an obsessive love for great craft beer and a high level of geekery to the craft of making it!
Everyone grew up being told to find something you love to do, and then find a way to make a career of it! Almost every home-brewer who’s taken that first sip of their VERY OWN, home-brewed creation, has experienced that contemplative smirk break across their face as they enjoy their craft, all the while, fantasizing about quitting their job in favour of a lifetime of bringing great beer to like minded people.
As Tool Shed Brewing continues to grow we naturally continue to run into more like-minded people with the same passion and are building our brewery around these great folks at the core.

473ml can. Pours a hazy orange red with a small, foamy, short lived, pale pink head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet fruity aroma of Saskatoon berry, faint grainy pale malt and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, red Saskatoon berry, lemon and floral hops in a crisp, dry, tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Tasty, refreshing and crushable.

Middling at best for an ipa.. lacking drinkability, too much emphasis on harsh bitterness. Calagary airport

473ml can. Pours a clear gold-amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, ecru head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Mild aroma of bready caramel malt, orange peel, floral and light piney hops. Mild, sweet flavour of biscuity pale malt, caramel, orange peel, grapefruit and piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Easy to put back, but a bit too mild for me. A gateway IPA.

Sherry-aged pale (if the name wasn't clear). Pale amber, bright-ish. Thin head. Lots of sherry, wood in there, the malts are mellow, the hops have some bitterness…it almost clashes with the barrel, though. Not changing my mind about the futility of BA regular strength non-buggy beers.

Pale amber, just a slight haze, thin head. Nose is quite estery. Lots of hops, kicking off tones of citrus but then some phenols…rubber and acetone are in there too. Ok so that fermentation didn’t really work out. They tried to bury it but weren’t quite successful.

I slapped this into farmhouse because of the yeast profile, but I actually don't know what the base style is, and I know it's got nothing to do with Norwegian farmhouse beer. It's just a random non-style. Pale, bit dull, not much head. Quite sweet and sticky. Lots of fruitiness and thick pale malt. Bit underhopped and underattenuated for optimal balance imo.

Murkyish chestnut colour. No head. Light toastiness, a fair bit of acidity. Sweet and like hot chocolate powder. Not hitting for me at all.

473ml can. Pours a hazy orange-yellow with a small, creamy, short lived, off-white head that laces. Sweet aroma of bready pale malt, passion fruit, earthy yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, passion fruit, apricot, orange, earthy yeast and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with a smooth, pillowy soft, oily texture and average carbonation. Juicy, tasty and easy to drink.
