YOU ASKED WE ANSWERED: FOEDER FUN
Since our first foeder release in March 2019 (Waconah!) we’ve released SEVEN bottles from our 25 barrel oak foeders. It feels like we really started to get into a groove with the foeders toward the end of 2020 and we’re pretty pumped to now have four different bottles in the fridge: Bosse, St. Cloud Commons, Morganna and Crosley. Despite all being foeder brews, they couldn’t be more different from one another. A blackberry sour, Pilsner, brett dry-hopped sour and a brett IPA. So how do we decide what to brew into the foeders? Why bottles? You asked, we’re answering: Anything […]

BEER FOR EVERYBODY
BEER FOR EVERYBODY A phrase we’ve long used around the brewery is Beer is for Everybody. This has always meant that beer is and can be for everyone, even for those who believe they may not like beer (there is a beer style for you, you just haven’t found it yet 😉) Philosophically, Beer For Everybody carries greater meaning and reminds us that beer is for those who haven’t always been welcomed into beer spaces and experiences. It means that beer can be a powerful tool to build community, to bring people together and to drive positive change. In a […]

DOUBLE-PLAY! BRICKS & MORTAR AND GLORIOSO ARE BACK.
In the late 1880s, brick was in high demand in Toronto, and our neighbourhood was home to some of the 36 brickyards in the city. Can you believe that at one point, Greenwood Park was a clay quarry? Brewed in collaboration with our neighbours, Pilot Coffee Roasters, Bricks and Mortar is our tribute to the brick industry upon which our neighbourhood was built along with our own evolution to becoming a physical brewery. Pilot’s Community Seasonal Blend of Guatemalan and Columbian beans were added in the final stages of conditioning imparting notes of ripe plum, dark honey and milk chocolate […]

WHAT THE FUNK IS A FOEDER? NEW BRETT IPA IS HERE!
It’s been a minute since we released anything from our foeders. Make some noise! Shea Brett IPA is here, and we’re so excited to have this one landing in the shop! Bursting with juicy pineapple and bright citrus, Shea IPA is brewed and dry hopped with Ekuanot, El Dorado and Amarillo hops and fermented with Vermont Ale Yeast and Brettanomyces in our oak foeders. Golden in colour, this complex and hazy IPA is medium bodied with subtle flavours of spiced clementine, cantaloupe and hay with a dry finish. Foed for thought! A foeder (pronounced FOOD-er) is a large fermentation and […]
