Description
It was a hot summer day and we were kicking back on a dock near Bobcaygeon. We were deep in a craft beer discussion when it dawned on us – why not start our own brewery? Sure it would take a ton of a hard work with long hours, recipe creation, branding and financing, but it’s doable, right?
In August 2017, we laid eyes on the old post office at 17 Bolton Street in Bobcaygeon, Ontario – what a fine brewery it would make. We submitted a proposal to flip the building into a brewery and were lucky enough to get the green light.
Now we’re on track to bring Bobcaygeon to Bobcaygeon. We’re working hard at renovating the building, and when we’re done we’ll have a full production facility, retail store and tap room offering our core line up of delicious beer along with a variety of seasonals and one-offs. To say we’re excited is an understatement. Our dream of making great craft beer to be enjoyed among friends is coming true.
In the meantime, we’ve opened our Innovation Lab in Peterborough at 649 The Parkway, Unit 4. The focus here will be on unique offerings, with plenty of one offs and different beers to try. Brewing will happen on site, or you can try the beers in our tasting room and purchase beer to go in our Gift Shop. Visit us today!

Can that pours a clean amber colour with a big creamy-frothy warm light beige head, very good stray and some creamy-foamy lacing. Aromas of nuttiness, cereal malts, caramel and mild hops. This hops really steps up in the taste with big bitterness. A nice dry finish after getting some caramel malt notes. Not a bad Autumn Ale.

Hazy golden-yellow colour with an amber hue. Foamy off-white cap, average retention and some light soapy lacing patches. Big orange aromas with some hints of honey. The taste has these oranges as well with juices and peel. Very slight pineapples in the background. Some decent hops in the finish giving some dryness, so not as juicy as expected. Still, a good hazy IPA.

This red ale poured a deep red colour with a creamy, tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include dusty books and a little dough. Disappointing bouquet. First swig was quite nice with flavours of medium hops and light caramel. Finish is a little bitter with a maltyness that lingers.

Pours a light golden colour with lots of tiny bubble carbonation being active. The big frothy head lasts quite a while and leaves thick foamy lace. Aromas are a nice balance of sweet yeast and citrus notes, mainly oranges. The taste shows the same balance plus the added hops in the finish. This give a nice dry touch. Some good bitterness lingers. All well-balanced again. This one seems to grow on me as I sip it.

Pours a hazy, light-golden colour with a frothy white cap, average retention and some foamy lace. Aromas of hops from an IPA with some mild sweetness in the background from the malt. The taste also is IPA, but just a tad lighter than most, bordering the APA side by blending just a slight witbier. Unfortunately, I wish we could feel the white style better. Still, a good hoppy-hazy beer.
