Pouring at Biera
Wheated Meadows
10.7% ABV
Wheated Meadows is a unique single-barrel release made in a barrel of Weller Full Proof Wheated Bourbon. Our base Meadows dark lager with honey and bee pollen was first finished in stainless steel then put into this special barrel for 11 months. The result is beer with smooth dark chocolate notes and surprising drinkability for 10.7% ABV. We got this barrel from some pals that will share in the fruits of our labours.
Buffalo Meadows 2023
11.4% ABV
2023 Buffalo Meadows is a dark lager that was cool-fermented in stainless steel with Alberta blossom honey and bee pollen from Meadow-Sweet Apiaries. The base beer is the same recipe across all Meadows releases. It was then aged for 11 months in fresh Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels. The techniques and ingredients give this beer dark fruit notes, and complex salinity, with a warming finish.
Homage to the Old Ones
6.9% ABV
Homage to the Old Ones is a very special blend of 4 year Spontaneous Fermentation barrels. Historically brewers would take the brewery’s highest quality barrels to make a blend that would showcase their best product. When scavenging our barrel cellars, the brewers came across barrels that were of such exemplary quality, they knew it would be a perfect homage to such blends. The use of only 4 year barrels highlights the depth and complexity that can be developed when time and attention is given. The result is a blend that has balance and poise in its acidity & texture, deep wine, leather, & tobacco flavours, and a complex range of fruit & floral aromatics. We hope you like it!
Fruitful Pursuits: Plum 2022
6.8% ABV
Fruitful Pursuits Plum is a Mixed Fermentation blend refermented on freshly picked plums. For 2022 we used hundreds of kilograms of Damson and President plums grown in the Okanagan and supplied by our good friends Steve & Dan’s Fresh BC Fruit. The blend of 1, 2 & 3 year barrels referments on the fruit for 2 months resulting in robust plum flavours, subtle baking spice notes, and a beautiful rose colour. This is highlighted by a balanced tart acidity and velvety plum skin tannins. We hope you like it!
Kook Birds 2023
8.3% ABV
6 Month Gin Barrel-Aged Ale — Kook Birds makes its third appearance in our lineup; once again as a delightful ale. We put our Uncharted Citra in Pinot Gin barrels from our pals at Strathcona Spirits to age for 6 months. The result is a delightful and effervescent pale beer with a citrus light hop intermingled by gin botanicals. The finish is crisp and dry with lingering overripe fruit.
The Business
9.0% ABV
10 Month Brandy Barrel-Aged Dark Lager — The Business is a brandy barrel-aged dark amber lager inspired by our prior release, Working Overtime. The Business is aged in barrels for 10 months. Where Working Overtime was boldly effervescent, The Business is dark, smooth, and supported by a dark fruit foundation. It has a light alcohol warming and a clean, smooth finish.
Astra Primursa
6.1% ABV
Astra Primursa is the third release in the Dry Hop Series. This blend of one, two, three and four year old mixed-fermentation barrels is a collision of two worlds: old world East Kent Goldings and new world Amarillo. These two wildly different hops meld delightfully to dry hop this beer. The result is juicy grapefruit, tropical starfruit, and marmalade hop character balanced by a full, round texture and medium-high acidity.
Convergent Evolution
6.5% ABV
2, 3 & 4 Year Spontaneous & Mixed Fermentation Blend — Convergent Evolution is the true convergence of Spontaneous and Mixed Fermentation. Fermented in red wine barrels for 2, 3 & 4 years this blend combines the unique characteristics of both methods. The blend of 75% Spontaneous and 25% Mixed Fermentation gives the depth and complexity of Spontaneous with the brightness and vibrance of Mixed Fermentation. The result is a balanced beer with stone fruit and ripe apple aromatics, savoury wine depth, with a bright citrus finish and medium acidity.
Lager O’Darkness
4.0% ABV
Selected as Canada's best dark lager in the 2021 World Beer Awards, Lager O’Darkness is our homage to the classic light-bodied dark beer. We put our lager twist on it and walk the line between easy drinkability and rich maltiness. It is black in color with high clarity, low bitterness, and notes of dark chocolate and toasty malt. Believe it or not, this is a great patio beer.
Nordlichter
3.5% ABV
Light and easy-drinking, floral with a gentle hop character, and light in colour. This lager is made for the patio weather that we're always promised.
Union Bhoys Lager
5.0% ABV
Union Bhoys Lager was brewed in celebration of the Soccer Team Union St-Gilloise in Brussels, Belgium. This lager was brewed with both wheat and barley, giving it a hazy yellow colour. It has floral and melon fruit aromatics, with clean malt, and honey dew flavours followed by a dry, lightly bitter finish.
ZestyZee
4.2% ABV
ZestyZee, a German-style wheat ale, is our most popular summer beer. It is unfiltered with traditional banana and spice notes, low bitterness, crisp effervescence, and a gently tart, thirst quenching finish. Super-dry and quaffable, this is the ultimate patio beer.
