Bold and rich, with a touch of holiday spice, Samuel Adams Winter Lager is a wonderful way to enjoy the cold evenings that accompany the season. You can’t have “holiday spice” without cinnamon. So we tried dozens of cinnamons and came to a blend of cinnamons grown in Southeast Asia. Unlike the more common varieties of cinnamon, the blend contains…

Day 2 of Taste-Mas: Beau’s Bog•Water Eastern Ontario Gruit 600 ml
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…
Day 1 of Taste-Mas: Muskoka Double Chocolate Cranberry Stout 750 ml
What could be more reminiscent of a frigid Northern winter than an insulating beard and a warming Muskoka seasonal brew? Our Double Chocolate Cranberry Stout is rich and sturdy with roasted dark chocolate malts, real cocoa, 70% dark chocolate, and freshly harvested local cranberries. Winter Beard was brewed with a slightly higher alcohol content to allow for aging and cellaring.…
Beau’s Spruce Moose 600 ml
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…
Beau’s Opa’s Gose 600 ml
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…
Unibroue 17 Grande Reserve Dark Ale 750 ml
Inspired by the great Belgian brewing tradition of Trappist monks established over the centuries, Unibroue 17 was first brewed in 2007 to celebrate our brewery’s 17th anniversary. However, the overwhelming success of this specialty brew made it obvious that we could not let such a great ale slip into the anonymity of retirement. As testimony to its remarkable flavour profile…
Amsterdam Framboise 750 ml
Using an old world recipe, our brewmaster handcrafted this wonderous beer by blending Belgian wheat malt with real Canadian raspberries. In fact, six pounds of fresh raspberries go into making every case, resulting in an abundantly obvious ruby red beer with a crisp fruit flavour. Brewed only once a year, Framboise is best served chilled and shared with friends. Fresh.…
Beau’s Festivale Plus Sticke Alt 600 ml
Brewers of altbier in Germany will occasionally, and covertly, brew Sticke (secret) batches of their alt, and share their secret stash only with family, close friends and regulars. We toast this historical tradition with Festivale Plus, a stronger, bolder and oak-aged version of our internationally acclaimed summer seasonal beer, Festivale. Enjoy this decidedly robust but balanced blend of clean, crisp…
