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.)

Can from Bierkoning, shared on the train home. Can looks nice? Tart apple, soft funk, dry apple peel, earthy dry apple, soft berries and leaves. Under medium tart and bitter, light sweet. Almost medium bodied, over medium dry. Nice.

355ml can. (5.5% ABV) Pours a cloudy pale pink with a thin, fizzy, short lived, off white head that fully dissipates. Aroma of Brett, hibiscus, pear skin and grapefruit. Semi-sweet flavour of Brett, white wine, hibiscus, pear and grapefruit with a dry, slightly tart finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and average carbonation. Nice complexity. An excellent Perry.
