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.

malty. Very sweet malty mochachinno, cherries and barley tea nose. Thick sweet malty mouth. A bit too much. Not my thing. Also the glass became Uber sticky after some beer spilt on the side.

Draught, the National. Cloudy light amber, aroma is a bit orangey, but some chewy malt as well, but on the palate this is really chewy and that messes with the balance a bit.

hazy amber color. Very big, citrusy, orange, apples in the nose. Very very hoppy. Massive hop assault. Not much backbone. Fairly simple, but enjoyable hop bomb

Can: Poured a clear golden color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of light cereal notes with light residual sugar notes is OK. Taste is also dominated by light cereal notes with some light fruity ester and some residual sugar. Body is average for style with nice creamy texture and good carbonation. This is not a style that I usually seek but enjoyable for what it is.
