Description
Revel started in 2014 as a solo passion project. Imagine our excitement when it turned out that, hey, lots of folks are fermentation enthusiasts!

By 2022, our team was seven people strong — with over 1000 cases of Revel bottles and cans shipped to discerning drinkers every month.

Our characterful native yeast fermentations explore the endless flavours Ontario has to offer. Combining farm-grown and foraged fruits, discovering what the fermentation process yields, and aiming to bring out the best of each ingredient is what makes us excited to come to work every day. (Well, that, and all the incredible smells.)

Clear, bottom round, 750ml bottle from press online.

Pint glass. Soda spritz pour. Pale hazy.
Sour, grape-y, white wine, bubblegum, vinegar, roses, wild ferment nose.
Twangy, spirited, leafy, high acid, white grape, lemon, medium-low farm funk, yeast, still a bit industrial.
Fizzy, halfway acid, approachable alcohol, super thin.

Indifferentiable from many wild ferments. It's fine but unjustified to prop up in fancy glass. Super average.

On tap at Beertown- Toronto, pours a clear copper amber with a small white head. Aroma has an invigorating mix of tart plums, apple skins, and grape skins. Flavour is much the same, with acidic plums, some grape skins, and gentle apple skins. Quite acidic/tart but great depth and complexity. Very good.

On tap at Burdock, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma has notes of horse blanket, musty apple skins, and hay. Flavour is modestly tart, with horse blanket, apple skins, hay, and a touch of citrus. A bit too sweet for a Spanish sidra but well-made.

(Draft at Muted Horn, Berlin, 19 July 2025) Amber colour with no head. Fruity nose with red apples, apple skin, cherries and plums. Fruity tart taste with notes of red apples, plums, sour cherries, oak wood, red wine and a generous acidity in the finish. A light tannic bitterness. Medium body, dry. Interesting, with lots of different fruits and a solid acidity. Very nice.

Bottle pour at Stillwell. Pours hazy gold with a small white head. Lots of musty apple skins on the nose with earthy and fruity notes. Flavour has tons of tannic apple skins, dry pears, good amount of must. I don't normally love a perry, but this is super tannic and a bit funky; great.
