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.
A very dark reddish brown beer with a tan head. Aroma of red wine barrel, raisins, strong dark malt. Taste of sour red berries, red wine, vinegar, wood.
On tap at Stillwell. Pours clear gold with a small white head. Lots of old wood, leather, and mildew on the nose. Flavour has tons of mildewy upholstery, old wood, a bit buggy. This is a great spontaneous ferment.
Black with minimal head. Aroma is whiskey, brandy, cocoa and soy sauce. Sweet and sticky mouth feel. Flavour dark chocolate, Bourbon, vanilla, brandy and warming alcohol. All over the place, but still somehow quite enjoyable.
16oz @ Ryan's shared with Farees and Phill. Aroma: chcocolate, peppers, some sweetness. Taste: along the same lines, noticeably spicy. Overall: it is very good for the spiced imperial stout, but I am not a fun of this adjunct.
Burk med Totte dagen innan julafton. Svag doft av citrus. Lite instängd doft. Smaken fruktig av tropiska frukter men lite återhållsam. Syrlig mot slutet! Helt ok dipa men inte mer
On tap at Stillwell Freehouse. Pours hazy blonde with a white head. Decent complexity on the nose, floral notes, Brett, and some citrus. Flavour has plenty of Brett, fairly dry and woody, floral grassy notes, some citrus peels. High carbonation. Very nice.
On tap at Stillwell Freehouse. Pours an opaque dark brown with a foamy beige head. Loads of bitter dark chocolate, fresh raspberries, and dusty old wood on the nose. Flavour has intense raspberries, dry old wood, and cacao. The raspberries integrate very well with the base, creating a good depth of flavour. Very nice.
Sample at Palace Hall 13/12/2025 Malmö December tasting - sweet and lightly roasted malty with opulent chocolate, some lovely berry fruity accents chiming in, bourbon and lightly coconut laced sweet dark malty finish. Lovely.
