Our Farm to Tap series continues with the release of The Beet Saison.

Brewed with beets grown here on the farm, this lively farmhouse saison is bright, refreshing, and just a little unexpected. In the best way possible.

This beer delivers zesty citrus, gentle spice, and an earthy sweetness that will leave you intrigued yet satisfied. And the colour! The beets give the beer an eye catching deep rosy hue (picture has no filter).

Perfect for spring and early summer, The Beet Saison is available on tap and in cans while supplies last.

We have a new seasonal on tap and in cans!

Sunshine Smoked Salmon Porter!

ABV 6.3% IBU 15

Sunshine Smoked Salmon Porter is a bold, coastal-inspired brew that brings together the richness of dark malts with the unmistakable character of the Pacific Northwest.

Pouring deep brown with a soft tan head, this 6.3% ABV porter opens with aromas of roasted coffee, cocoa, and a gentle campfire smokiness.

Layers of chocolate and toasted grain give way to a savoury twist—locally caught coho salmon, cold-smoked over alder wood, lending a subtle, briny depth and a lingering, woodsy finish.

With a smooth body and low bitterness (15 IBU), this beer walks the line between traditional porter and culinary experiment, delivering a truly unique drinking experience that evokes ocean air, driftwood fires, and west coast craft.

May contain real salmon bones and scales - we recommend using a straw if the salmon chunks are too big.

WOW!! Our Wandering Scotsman's Spruce Tip IPA was recognized yet again. This time by the Untappd Community Awards in the GOLD IPA BRUT style.

Untappd is the world’s largest online community for beer enthusiasts. The Community Awards celebrate the most loved beers based on ratings from the global Untappd community. Unlike industry awards decided by judges, these awards are powered entirely by drinkers themselves, spotlighting the beers that genuinely resonate with craft beverage fans worldwide. 🍻

Congrats to our brew team, Dave and Warren. They continue to make some of the tastiest beers around.
