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.)

On tap. Pours a cloudy white/yellow with light head. Aromas of apples, funk and a bit of grape must. Flavors follow samecwith what I think is tart pear skins and additional coarse apple. Nice.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2018, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out tart nectarines, with some wild yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with tart nectarines upfront, with wild yeast. Pretty flat carbonation with tons of tart nectarines. Not overly complex but it works.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2018, pours an opaque cloudy dull golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of berry skins, with light barrels and some wild yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with wild yeast, apple skins, berry skins, and farmhouse notes. Wild yeast and berries in good cohesion. Good stuff.
