GUEST TAPS


SPARKLING DRY CIDER
6.7% ABV | KW CRAFT CIDER, WATERLOO, ON
KW Craft Cider's flagship brew is a custom blend of 5 types of tart, juicy and crisp apples. The cider is brewed in small batches to account for seasonal variation in crop to achieve a rich, well-balanced blend.
10.15 (16 oz) / 8.85 (12 oz)

SEASONAL CIDER - CONCORD GRAPE

GARDE YOUR BEER
6.8% ABV | BROKEN RAIL BREWING, ST. MARY'S, ON
Based on the Biere de Garde rustic ale, this amber ale is bright and refreshing, with notes of candied citrus, honey and toasted rye bread. Low on bitterness, this earthy beer finishes dry and clean. 
9.65 (16 oz) / 8.40 (12 oz)

NEW VIENNA
5% ABV | BLACK SWAN BREWING, STRATFORD, ON
This traditional style Austrian lager is malt forward. We are using (surprise, surprise) predominantly Austrian malts that provide a slight roasted character without compromising on a light, easy drinking & crisp finishing beer experience. New Vienna has a mild, but firm & restrained bitterness for balance. Out with the OV & in with the New V. 
9.50 (16 oz) / 8.25 (12 oz)

FIMBULWINTER
5.5% ABV | TWB CO-OP BREWING, KITCHENER, ON
Brewed in collaboration with Ragnarok 3.0 Board Gaming Convention in Kitchener, this beer is brewed as a traditional Norwegian Farmhouse ale. A light-bodied ale with that classic farmhouse 'funk', and gentle sweetness from juniper berries makes this a brew to toast at the end of the world.

MONOGAMY : CITRA
6.4% ABV | BELLWOODS BREWERY, TORONTO, ON
Showcasing exclusively Citra hops, this IPA showcases notes of fuzzy peach, Riesling grape and purple popsicle with a lightly bitter finish.

FOOLS SPRING MARZEN
6.7% ABV | WELLINGTON BREWERY, GUELPH, ON

This traditional Marzen-Style beer is rich in malt with a perfect balance of clean hop bitterness. Beautifully bready and biscuit notes with toasted malt and caramel toffee undertones. Originating in Germany, Marzen Beer was traditionally brewed in the Spring and aged or lagered in the summer. 
9.65 (16 oz) / 8.40 (12 oz)

FLASHBACK WHEAT ALE 
4.5% ABV | FORKED RIVER BREWING, LONDON, ON
This light, refreshing ruhbarb wheat beer is a completely different take on a wheat. Tropical fruit on the nose and palate pair perfectly with the slight tartness from the rhubarb.
9.35 (16 oz) / 8.10 (12 oz)

ALE-X ESB
5.5% ABV | TWB CO-OP BREWING, KITCHENER, ON
A unique take on the classic British ESB. Malt forward with a delicate hop profile and a typical TWB twist: Juniper berries were added to the boil for a bit of woodsy and pine flavour. 
9.65 (16 oz) / 8.40 (12 oz)

AMBEAR RED ALE
5% ABV | CAMERON'S BREWING, OAKVILLE, ON
This West Coast-style ale uses caramel malt and citrusy Cascade hops to create layers of delicious depth. Enjoy the generous hop aroma and smooth maltiness, followed by a refreshing finish.

DOUBLE IPA
8.8% ABV | BLACK SWAN BREWING, STRATFORD, ON
Double fresh, double smooth and double delicious to drink. A perfect balancing act of intense bitterness and sweetness. We've used an overload of Citra, Triple Perle and Mosaic hops to deliver strong floral & juicy aromas. This monster has a silky and warming alcohol finish. Double down on this DIPA before it's gone.
