New Beer Release! 🍻

No String Attached is a New Zealand IPA brewed with our pals at Stray Dog Brewing in Orleans. Collabs are an opportunity to try something new, so we broke out our cereal cooker pot and cooked up a bunch of rice to add to the mash. What this does is lean out the beer, contributing to the overall drinkability and allowing the hops to shine through a pretty neutral base. It also decreases the free amino nitrogen in the beer and increases shelf life, but that's getting into the weeds.

We brewed No String Attached with Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka for big flavours of tropical and citrus fruit. This beer is a truly easy drinking 6.5% ABV treat. 🍻

Sausages are now available at Cold Bear! 🌭

We'll be adding a couple simple and local food options to our menu in the coming weeks. First up are our sausages, made for us by our friends at the Almonte Butcher Shop. Made with local pork and onions caramelized with our Shift Change Pub Ale, these local and well made sausages are the perfect companion for our local and well made beer! 🍻

Here’s what’s going on in June! 🍻☀️

We’re starting things off with our new Co****le league happening every Monday at 6pm (excluding holidays). Just $5 to sign up as a team of two. A mini tournament will be played for a chance to win a Cold Bear gift card! No need to attend every Monday, come any time that works for you. We’ll also be firing up the BBQ every Monday as a dinner option!

As usual, we have lots of great live music and trivia this month. We have a special event happening on Monday June 15th, which is Pilates & Pints hosted by Union 108. The event runs from 7-8PM in the taproom. Tickets include a beverage and can be found on their website. During that time, the patio will still be open to the public.
