Description
Stillwell Brewing is the brewery off-shoot of Halifax craft beer bar Stillwell. We are a small brewing project focussing on oak-fermented, bottle conditioned farmhouse-style ales that are subtle, balanced and unique to our brewery. We’re brewing on a very old, very manual 15bbl, two-vessel steam-powered brewhouse. We also make draught-only lagers for Stillwell, Stillwell Beergarden & The Stillwell Freehouse.

On tap at Stillwell. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Crisp dry grass and cracker malts on the nose. Flavour has dry spicy grass, cracker malts; a bit stale on the finish. Good carbonation. It's okay, but falls short of a proper Czech lager.

Bottle shared, kind courtesy of Marko. Beauty in simplicity, this beer is an outstanding table beer: light, highly drinkable, refreshing and crisp yet layered and complex enough to keep you entertained. Lovely.

Bottle from the lcbo. Hazy pale yellow, with a large white head. Aroma is funky, tart with some nice stone fruit notes. Soft wheat, hints of mint, and Basil. Mouth feel is clean and bright, with a soft carb. Lightly tart finish, more stone fruit, light barrel and some vinous white grape notes.

Rated at Suomenojan jätevedenpuhdistamo. Tart, refreshing and fruity with hints of bretta yeastiness and oaky sweetness, faint leather and farmyardy notes. Surprisingly balanced.
