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.

Bottle from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. Opaque, dark brown, light viscosity, ephemeral cap of head fading to a ring, no lacing. Aroma is earthy malt, anise, berries, hint of baked cookies/vanilla. Taste is strong berries, earthy malt, biscuit, late vanilla. Smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Am super pleased that this has held up over 8 years. Is there something to be said for beers that are brewed with traditional ingredients and a barrel vs. tons of adjuncts that may well fade?

22 oz bottle shared by tfontana. Thank you! Vintage 2018. Aroma is smoky, char, sweet cognac. Flavor follows. Some sweet cognac throughout the sip with char, chocolate, and oak. Shows very weak blackberries. A decent array of flavors. No booze. Held up well!

Can: Poured a black color lager with a off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with some light cereal notes is interesting. Taste is a mix of easy drinking roasted malt notes with light cereal and a semi dry finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Easy drinking black lager.

Medium hazed, amber colour with some caramel, pinkish hues, an off-white head, leaving a small lace ring. Some sweet, fruity aromas, almost candied with the raspberry a tad too blended, and more of the mango sticking out. A touch more real fruity in the taste, but milder, with decent sourness, and a little tart left. Not a bad Fruited Sour beer with raspberries and mangos, but seems like the raspberry is a little lost in here.
