Description
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.

Hazy golden pour, small white head. Loads of funk upfront. A thick lactic funk. The smoke adds a big bacon aroma, mixed with the lactic funk, it’s reminding me of carbonara. The carb is quite soft, and the mouthfeel is perfect. The flavor is quite tart, and sour, with a light bitterness. The finish is again quite big on the bacon, and smoke, with more of the creamy lactic funk. Super interesting, and quite impressive.

A very fruity, yet very dry belgian ale. Lots of dark fruits, dates, plums, and some apple sweetness. Quite a bit of bitterness in the finish, dry, but refeeshing. The drinkability is incredible, great stuff.

Hazy orange pour, with a small white head.
Great citrus hop aroma, with a slight vinous white wine quality mixed with a lovely trpical fruitness, and a slightly earthy mango note.
Soft carb, solid mouthfeel. Tangy citrus finish, with more of that great tropical fruit note, with a bitter mango finish, a masterpiece!

Solid bready, sweet, grainy malts. Light grassy hops, but the malts are what shines here. Low carb, viscous mouthfeel. Light funk on the palate, with some solid bitterness. Buiscuity finish with some light fruits.

bottle from the brewery. Hazy golden pour, with a large white head. Very tart, slightly funky aroma. Malted wheat, and touches of grass, and citrus. The carb is a tad over the top, and make it a little difficult to drink, The finish is laced with a thick amount of malted wheat, with a touch of sharp grassy hops, and some tartness. A nice summer patio beer, but the carb is a little too much at times.

Pretty much the same are the regular Biere De Garde, except a few interesting differences. The color off the bat is a tad bit darker, the pour, and the head. The aroma is a little vinous, some distinct grapey, wine aromas from the barrel. There is a light earthiness, with some wood, inthe finish, with a little acidic touch. The barrel didnt totaly change the beer but added some subtle but still nice differences.

A dark rich fruity porter. Lots of dark fruity notes upfront, with a rich bitter cocoa base, amd some solid coffee aromas. The carb is soft, and the mouthfeel a little viscous. The flavor is a little on the sweet side with some light bittering in the end. The finish is all dark roasted malts, with subtle fruits, some plums, and figs. Solid.

Typical westcoast dipa, but brewed in Toronto? Yessir!
Incredible grapefruit, citrus aroma with light soapy pone notes. No malts to be found, there are balancing everything, and keeping the bitterness at bay, but they arnt really coming forward and adding any flavor, and honestly for a hop head, i dont care. More citrus in the finish, great stuff, i’ll be burping hops for hours.

Dry, malty, bready, and a lovely sweetness. Solid body, a little over active carb. Medium bitterness, and a dry malty sweet finish.
