Yes, Sweet Pete's Peach Wheat is a limited release as part of an LCBO harvest beer program (with Muskoka and Trafalgar I believe). Approximately 50 stores have a limited amount, as we've only done a small batch of it. We also have a good supply at the brewery. Brewed with fresh peach juice and local...

We're really happy with this batch of Canuck Pale Ale, and there's definitely no buttery taste. We've only got about half a skid left, so hopefully we'll have enough to take us through the weekend at the brewery. As for London, unfortunately we weren't able to get out there in time with the limited ...

Canuck Pale Ale @ LCBO

Hi all,

Select LCBO stores are now stocking a limited amount of our Canuck Pale Ale in time for Canada Day.

This west coast style pale ale was crafted with a ton of cascade hops, and has a noticeable bitterness backed up by a bready malt flavour.

It's in a 650ml bottle, $4.95 each.

Cheers!

Sometimes it's tough to predict when we'll have specialty bottles available, especially during the craziness of the summer. But we definitely have a stockpile of Miami Weiss bottles available now which should last us for a few weeks. As we did a larger batch of it, we're selling them for $4.95 a bot...

This reminds me of a day I spent outside Munich, walking through the trails to get to Andechs brewery. We must have walked for nearly an hour before lo and behold, the brewery (monastery?!) was upon us. If anyone else has been here before I think you'll know the kind of experience I'm talking about....
