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.

Can from House of Trembling Madness. It pours murky / cloudy creamy lemon yellow with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, green, weedy, dank, juicy, pic n mix, gummy bears, crunchy white grape, sweet melon, greengage and gooseberry fool. The taste is crisp, dry, crunchy, snap of green bitterness, weedy, dank, some spice, juicy, bright, white grape, melon, pithy, zesty, fanta, floury bread and a nip of alcohol in the mix with a drying green finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Lovely mix of green vibes and fruit. Well done.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy yellow-golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of flower stems, fresh apricot and white candy sticks. Flavour of orange, nettles and lime. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Green and heavily hopped. The Nelson Sauvin really shines in this.
