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.

5oz pour at Stillwell Freehouse. Pours murky ruby with small white head. Not getting much on the nose. Flavour has fresh grass and sweet red cherries; very minimal tartness. Fairly underwhelming.

5oz pour at Stillwell Freehouse. Pours black with small tan head. Tons of rich bourbon and roasty malts on the nose. Flavour has big bourbon barrels up front with a rich, chewy malt base; dark sugary sweetness. Lots of booze and a fairly thick mouthfeel. Excellent.

500ml bottle kindly shared by Synny at a session with her, Finn, and lmojoh. Pours a fair white head leaving upper part lacing on the glass, hazy yellow-gold body. Mid-tart fruity aromas, dry. The taste profile follows suit with a touch of farmyard, yeast and fruity tartness. Mid-tart fruity ending. Okay cleanser. (Tromsø, 12.12.2024).
