BEAVER•RIVER marries the typical flavour profiles of the British and American interpretations of an India Pale Ale. Expect a bold yet balanced blend of hop bitterness, estery yeast character, and a blend of both citrus and earthy hop aromas. The origins of the India Pale Ale are as exciting as the flavours themselves. During Britain’s occupation of India, British soldiers…
This extra-strong saison beer has been spiced with white peppercorns and aged in red-grape icewine barrels. The pepper character is definitely present but doesn’t overwhelm this delicate creation; earthy undertones come out in the finish. Beau’s LCBO Barrel Aged Beer Feature for spring 2014 is inspired by the art and mythology of ancient Mesopotamia. The “alewife” was a sage female…
A wheat wine, Ashnan displays great depth of character and complexity. It features bold tannic notes that integrate very well with the tropical fruit flavours. Aging in white wine barrels contributes wood and wine character to the noticeable alcohol presence, and enhances a dry finish. A beer with a wine-imposed identity crisis, Ashnan sits comfortably between, offering the best qualities…
Gilgamesh old ale has been aged in rum barrels while resting on its yeast in storage, which contributes to a full-bodied and malty character. Complex fruit esters reminiscent of figs and dates add to the richness and sweetness of this dark, strong wine-like ale. Beau’s LCBO Barrel Aged Beer Feature for spring 2014 is inspired by the art and mythology…

An aging in cognac/rum barrels adds the final…

The inspiration for Bog•Water came from the Alfred Bog, a 10,000 year old peat bog located in Eastern Ontario that is home to many rare or endangered plants and animals. Like its namesake, the gruit style of beer is rare as well. Bog•Water’s malt and yeast profile is that of a Belgian Dubbel, a very contemplative and complex ale. Wild…
Beau’s Pro-Am series is a salute to homebrewers, true innovators of our craft: beers designed by amateur brewers, brewed at Beau’s. The Spruce Moose was brewed with Patrick Boisvenue, winner of the 2012 Members of Barleyment Beau’s Oktoberfest Homebrew Competition. No stranger to the Beau’s brewhouse, Patrick also collaborated with Beau’s to create the award-winning Burnt Rock Vanilla Porter. The…
An unfiltered wheat beer brewed with sea salt and coriander, Opa’s Gose is a revival of an ancient beer style that originated in and around the Saxon town of Leipzig. The Gose style takes its name from a river that flows through the town of Goslar, in Lower Saxony. The saltiness, which typifies the style, is attributable to the mineral-rich…
