What's this? A SURPRISE RELEASE?!

A very small batch of this NEW Hazy IPA is coming off the line right now, fresh as can BE! You can grab Moon Landing Hazy IPA at the Brewery or GLB Brewpub Retail Stores right now!

🌛 Moon Landing
🌛 Hazy IPA
🌛 6.5% abv

One small sip for man, one giant leap... blah blah blah, you get the idea.

All you need to know about Moon Landing IPA is that it's packed with Galaxy hops (famous for intense passionfruit, peach, and citrus flavours), it's a New England Style IPA, and it's probably one of the best things you'll put into your face today.
Do it... DO IT!

IT'S A BEER RELEASE!

A very special beer release. We brewed this hazy pale ale for our 3rd annual Brewed For You Beer Fest coming up on August 29th. But, you don't have to wait until the 29th to try it. Oh no you don't! You can try it TOMORROW if you want to.

🍺 Brewed For You
🍺 Hazy Pale Ale
🍺 4.6% abv

Is this what a beer festival tastes like? Maybe.

This year’s Brewed For You Fest beer is a juicy, hazy pale ale with Krush and Anchovie hops. (No, it doesn’t taste like anchovies!)

Grab some at the Brewery, GLB Brewpub, or Online Shop on Thursday (tomorrow) at 10am.

Have you tried .section.bbq yet?

They're here at GLB every Thursday through Sunday this summer with a some of the most delicious food coming out of that smoking machine.

Thursdays are BURGER DAYS with what could possibly be Toronto's best burger (you'll have to find out). It's an 8oz top secret burger blend smoked for 90 minutes, then finished on the flattop with smoked provolone cheese and served on a custom made bun.

Fridays and Saturdays are all about these kickin' platters with all the things you could possibly want on them.

Sundays are a bit of everything.

It's pretty much the best kind of food to eat with some cold beer. Handy that it's served right here in our resident food truck, eh?

Come on by Thursdays and Fridays from 5pm, Saturdays and Sundays from noon to try it!

So

DOGS!

If you love dogs like we do, you’ll agree that this year’s Barks + Brews was PAWSitively great. (Sorry, we had to.)

It was a pleasure to meet Lottie and Wren, the two very adorable adoptable dogs from Fetch + Releash Dog Rescue Dog Rescue (check out their website for info on how to adopt!) and so fun to watch your dogs strut their stuff on the red carpet.

A huge shout out to all of humans and pups who came by today! And to the vendors who made this event PAWsible (oops. We did it again.)

Rain or shine, it’s always a good day to visit Toronto Island.

Come with us on this fun Island Day that starts at with the tastiest and most affordable coffee and ends with Hoppy Hour chicken wings. Oh, and there’s beer. All day.

Don't be afraid. This doesn't mean summer is over.

Yes, Pumpkin Ale is one of our four releases this week. IT'S SO GOOD! And we LIKE having some delicious pumpkin spiced ale in late summer. Don't you?

It's ok. We also have three other releases that scream "IT'S STILL SUMMER!"

🎃 Pumpkin Ale
🎃 5.5% abv

You like Pumpkin, hmmm? Well this ale is brewed with a MOUNTAIN of locally grown pumpkin, then spiced up with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and allspice. Perfect for crisp autumn days or late summer evenings. Get in the pumpkin spirit already, ya hear?!

🚀 THRUST!
🚀 ... An IPA
🚀 6.5% abv

One of our collective all-time faves has returned for an extremely limited batch. THRUST! showcases Nelson Sauvin hops straight from New Zealand in all their glory, with big notes of freshly crushed gooseberry along with grapefruit, mango and kiwi.

☀️ Pompelmo
☀️ Vodka Soda with Grapefruit
☀️ 4.8% abv

Our take on a Greyhound cocktail, this vodka soda is infused with fresh grapefruit juice and zest, plus a little added sweetness for balance.

It’s pretty damn refreshing, in our opinion.

🍺 Absacker
🍺 Helles Lager
🍺 5.0% abv

What's a Helles, you ask? It's a German style pale lager, which means it's easy drinking, flavourful, and fun as helles.

We originally brewed this Helles Lager in collaboration with Braumeister Kevin Düsel of Brauerei Rittmayer, located in Germany. Family owned since 1422, this brewery knows a thing or two about brewing authentic German style beers, and you can taste it right here in this beer.

Get all four at the Brewery, GLB Brewpub, and Online Shop on Thursday. You can also get Pumpkin Ale in the LCBO soon!

It's National Relaxation Day on Saturday. These dogs got the memo early.

They’re conserving their energy now because come Saturday, they’ll be busy running, playing, sniffing, socializing and doing zoomies at Barks + Brews Dog Social here at Great Lakes Brewery.

We’ll have vendors, treats, plenty of dogs to meet, and adoptable pups from Dog Rescue looking for their forever homes - all while you enjoy some

If your dog would rather strut their stuff than chill on the lawn, you can enter them in our Dog Fashion Show at 3:30pm.

NEW MERCH!

These Camp GLB shirts celebrate Summer Camp for Adults (which is basically having beers on the GLB lawn, cracking a can of Canuck on your porch, or sipping on a at the cottage)

We also have new charcoal Octopus Wants to Fight soft tees that will intimidate anyone standing right behind you.

And we have these Great Lakes Lager classic totes for carrying your beer in. Or groceries. Or books. (But obviously beer.)

They are all available at the Brewery, GLB Brewpub, and online shop now!
