We got a special one from Amsterdam, a sort of one off, called "Downtown Brown". I believe it is a dry hopped english style brown. Sounds freakin good. It will be tapped tomorrow (Sunday) and we open at 5:00pm.
Come have a pint and share in some conversation and food. I'm playing some new tunes again from local Blues musician Harrison Kennedy.
Got the last two kegs of Muskoka Winter beard still pouring and the new Spring Oddity as well as some Boneshaker from Amsterdam.

Come on in and have some Naughty Neighbour American Pale Ale Cask from Nickel Brook Brewery. We open at Five. Our back patio is open and it is a beauty. Cask and patio on the long weekend sounds like a match made in heaven to me. Throw in some blues music and mussels and i'm sold.
We also still have some Mr Hyde Rye pale ale and beaver river from Beau's.
Bring a hat and sun screen,
Colin.

We have got one of Wellington Brewery's cask's from their "welly one off" series. This one is their Arkell Best Bitter and its been dry hopped. Sounds like the perfect match for a warm day. A refreshing glass of cask!!!
Our back patio is in full swing and ready to go.
We also got in a few other new draughts. We put on Raftman and Nickel Brooks Marzen.
Come on down and enjoy the day,
Colin.

Sorry I missed posting last week. I think I had too much cask the night before, so I will post a day early this week.
We got a cask from Durham Brewery this week called 'Hop Head'. Its awesome.
We are also starting a rotating tap that will feature a different beer as long as the keg lasts. It could be a week or a few days. Sounds good to me.
Right now it is Nickel Brook Marzen. The next one is still a surprise cause I havent ordered one yet.
Patio is open and rockin so come on down for cask and sunshine.
Colin.

We got the perfect cask for a warm summer day on the patio!! Granite Mild.

Granite Mild
A dark ale with malt character and a hint of smoke. Well balanced, not too bitter and not quite as “mild” as you’d think.

Open for Brunch on Saturday and Sunday now!! Come check out Joes version of brunch.

Have a great day cause I will,
