Guest Lager 100ml $2 | 200ml $4 | 300ml $6
Lager – Brewed by one of our friends

Spon Alla Spina 100ml $4 | 200ml $8 | 300ml $12
7.2% — 1, 2, 3 Year Spontaneous Fermentation Blend

A Spontaneous Fermentation blend designed specifically to be served on draught. Made with a focus on balance while still having classic flavors found in spontaneously fermented beer. Spon Alla Spina has a medium-high acidity with notes of red apple, white stone fruit, citrus and high carbonation.

Mega Pink 100ml $3 | 200ml $6 | 300ml $9
6.3% — 2 Year Mixed Fermentation Blend, Currant Pomace & Vermouth Spice.

Mega pink is a very unique beer we lovingly call an Aperitivo Beer. We first put the blend of 2 year mixed fermentation on currant pomace. We then added herbs and spices from vermouth and amaro, to add botanical complexity and bitterness. The result is a beer with refreshing acidity texture and carbonation, typical of Blind Enthusiasm, with the bitterness, spice and botanical qualities of vermouth and amaro. This creates a product with serious negroni vibes but with a sprits. The perfect beer for a warm sunny patio.  

The Mimic 100ml $3 | 200ml $6 | 300ml $9
4% — 4 month Quick Turn Mixed Fermentation 

The Mimic is a Quick Turn Mixed Fermentation beer, fermented in stainless steel tanks for 4 months. Our use of the traditional turbid mashing process lends it full texture and flavor, while having a very low alcohol content. It is fermented with a special blend of Saccharomyces, Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus. This unique blend of organisms gives bright citrus and tropical fruit flavors and aromas, balanced by a round texture and medium acidity.

BOTTLE POURS

86 Lager  100ml $4 | 200ml $8 | 300ml $12 | 750ml Bottle $22
5.3% — 12 Month Mixed Fermentation Blend

86 Lagér is a barrel-fermented beer made with Lager and Brettanomyces yeasts. It’s a blend of 12 month California and Spanish Red Wine barrels and is lightly dry hopped with Saaz and Strisselspalt. While in barrel, rogue acidifying microorganisms infiltrated a couple of the barrels leading to an unexpected dimension: medium light acidity! The resulting blend has floral hop notes, balanced red wine fruitiness, bright citrus, and stone fruit aromatics. We love the result, but this acidification method has been forever 86’ed from our production playbook.

Spontaneous Manifesto 2023 100ml $5 | 200ml $10 | 300ml $15 | 750ml Bottle $30
6.9% — 1, 2, 3 Year Spontaneous Fermentation Blend

Spontaneous Manifesto marks a milestone as The Monolith’s inaugural 100% Spontaneous Fermentation release. Made using historical methods developed in Belgium over generations, this blend of 1, 2 & 3 year barrels is our quintessential Spontaneous Fermentation blend. The result of these techniques is a unique product shaped by our local environment and indigenous microflora. It showcases classic stone fruit, apple and citric flavours and aromas with some bright red wine fruitiness, and subtle tannin, highlighted by a balanced acidity.

Biere des Charentes 100ml $4 | 200ml $8 | 300ml $12 | 750ml Bottle $22
7.3% — 24 Month Mixed Fermentation Blend - Cognac Barrels 

Bière des Charentes spent 24 months in barrels that originated in the Charente region of France where Cognac is made. The result is a blend focused on the bright fruit notes of brandy, with savoury leather and saline character. It finishes with drying tannins and subtle fennel notes, highlighted by a balanced medium acidity.

The plums add subtle spice, floral, candy and fresh flavours and aromas. It brings delicate texture with a velvety tannin structure that lightly coats the palate, complimented by the tart, juicy acidity balancing the blend.

6.8% — 1, 2, 3 Year Mixed Fermentation Blend - Damson and President Plums

For Fruitful Pursuits: Plum 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.
