It's all Smoke & Mirrors

On tap Saturday, November 22nd at open (4:00 P.M.) we have....

Smoke & Mirrors - a classic Bamberg-style Rauchbier (Smoked Lager).

Over 80% of the malted barley used was beechwood smoked with the remainder being Munich malt. It's a blend of smoke and malt with balance and intensity, completely complementary of one another. A true lager with Märzen-like qualities sporting a malty, toasty richness and an almost bacon-like smokiness (mmm bacon), it's delicious. Finishes malty and lightly sweet with moderate, balanced, hop bitterness.

The kitchen will be cranking out grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches to pair.

Enjoy!

ABV - 5.3 %
IBUs ~ 21
Malts - Rauch (Beechwood Smoked), Munich
Hops - Hallertau Tradition

PS: Today's firkin cask on the bar top is........ West Coast Red - hoppy malty goodness!

Ultimate White IPA - Saturday Oct 18th @ 4 PM

Our latest brew is a hybrid of sorts; a redux of our Ultimate White IPA

IPA meets Witbier. Brewed with malted barley, wheat, oats, coriander, bitter orange peel and plenty of hops: bright and fresh with hop forward citrus notes, coriander and orange cut through making their presence known - hoppy orange deliciousness.


We're pairing this up with Cyra Belbin's famous deep-fried Mac'n Cheese bites!

Some of you may know Cyra from the Halifax Ultimate Frisbee League, or from her win with these delicious little bites on CBC's Recipe To Riches. Have a boo here to read about her win and get the recipe.


Now get yer butt down to the brewpub Saturday at 4:00 PM!

Huge thanks to Cyra Belbin, Rob Douglass and the Halifax Ultimate Frisbee League.


Enjoy.

We've Got Firkin Issues!

Okay folks.....

I had a firkin issue yesterday! I spiled the cask and the beer was a bit too lively, the pressure release roused the hops particles and it got a little messy. Sadly the result was no firkin yesterday.

So, we've got "Firkin Thursday" this week!!! Muahahah!


Todays firkin cask is American Pale Ale dry-hopped with the Comet hop cultivar.... delicious!


Please enjoy!
