Description
A farm brewery in Caledon, Ontario. Troy Baxter, Mike Nuttall and Grace Wilkinson make hoppy, hazy ales in small batches that sell out as fast as they can make them. We specialize in IPA, but we also have a deep affinity for farmhouse ales, crispy lagers and mixed fermentation sours.

We used to brew on a small, inefficient 100ish liter brew house in an old retrofitted calf barn. It was a lot of work, but it's all we could afford to get this thing started without investors. Now we mostly brew on a bigger, sort of more efficient brewery.

Since day one we have believed in the same fundamentals: quality and freshness above all else. Our mission is to get our beer to your mouth when it's at it's best!

Tap at Valhalla, thx Zhenya! Shiny murky yellow body, off-white head. Smooth white grape and resin in the aroma. Smooooth taste, clean, tons of white grapes, low citrus, low to no bitterness. Solid! Remarkably non-herbal for a NZ hop beer. And no hop burn hahah, mellowed out.
