About
Bellwoods Brewery began as a small brewpub in the west end of Toronto in 2012, and underwent a couple modest growth spurts over the years to encompass two retail shops (selling fresh cans and bottles), and a production brewery in North York (mostly to house The Foeder Pyramid). These days, we produce about 18,000hL a year, which is a mere blip in the grand scheme of Ontario beer, but keeps us pretty busy. The styles we’re interested in brewing range greatly, and we always remain open to new ways of making beer. For the most part, our current efforts are devoted to aromatic hoppy stuff, crisp lagers, barrel aged wild blends, fruit-forward zingers, and the occasional barrel aged stout. There’s always a new, creative project waiting in the wings. We’re still a relatively small, collaborative team, forever dedicated to the pursuit of perfect beer–thanks so much for partaking in the fruits of our labour.

A can randomly bought for me for Father's day. Pils, and light beers, aren't my typical choices, but Bellwoods is always a good to try. This one is a can crusher. A light version on their typical Paper Tiger. Light, crisp, bright, hay malt. Fairly dry. Vague bitterness on the finish. Decent mouthfeel for a 3.2. Overall good if this is in your wheelhouse. Bought from Tommy's Wine Bar, on Dundas in Toronto.

Hazy and pale. Thin head. Light and bretty, with some yeatiness, and also a fairly bitter profile with somewhat clunky sweet and yeasty pale malts. Fairly woody. Solid product.

Can: Poured a clear golden yellow color lager with a large white foamy head with great retention and some lacing. Aroma of cereal notes with some bitter and resinous dry floral hoppy notes. Taste is also a mix of clean cereal notes with some resinous and somewhat bitter floral dry hoppy and a dry finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Great lager with nice West Coast hops twist.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy pale yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones with some peachy tropical hops notes and a super dry finale. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones with some peachy tropical notes and a super dry finish.

Draft: Poured a clear golden yellow color lager with a large white foamy head with great retention and some lacing. Aroma of cereal notes with some light dry hoppy notes and faint residual sugar notes. Taste is also a mix of clean cereal notes with some faint floral dry hoppy notes and a mostly semi-dry finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Great lager with excellent drinkability that hopefully will be brewed often.
