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!

Punchy citrus fruity tangerine to the fore, getting some grapefruit and lemon, touch of peach flesh, set upon a sweet creamy malty backbone, with a dense yet soft creamy mouthfeel and body, dank edged robust hoppy into the close. Lovely stuff.

Clearing the taps pre MBCC ??Pleasing fruity medley here, with a cross section of citrus and tropical fruity goodness in play, malty backbone, balanced bitter hoppy close.
