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.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 5 May 2024) Black colour with creamy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, sweet espresso, raisins, rum, coconut, oak wood, caramel and a touch of cinnamon. Malty, roasted taste with espresso, dark chocolate, treacle, rum, vanilla, oak wood, coconut, raisins and a balanced cacao bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. Rich, tasty and warming. Still in excellent balance. Great beer!

473mL can, pours an opaque dull orangey blonde, tiny white head. Aroma brings out somewhat bitter grapefruit and gentle sweetness. Flavour is lightly sweet, with grapefruit juice, light bitterness, and a touch of tartness. For a radler, this works well.

Pulp. Lacey white head. Tropical nose, pineapple and melon sherbet and oats and wheat. Flavors follow. It's decent if not a bit overdone. Full bodied and starchy.
