House Ales is the newest craft beer project led by Ralph Morana, proprietor of barVolo in Toronto, Ontario and his assistant brewer; Jonathan Hodd. In August 2010, a one-hectolitre pilot system was setup in the kitchen of barVolo. Since then, House Ales has experimented with over 60 batches of beer and collaborated with several brewers from Quebec and Ontario. Six months have passed and we are ready to present you our new craft beer concept.

I'd just like to make a slight correction. The Dumb Pig is a Rye Pale Ale. It does have some rauchmalz in it. However, that title may lead some style junkies or bjcp type a-rye.
Wokka wokka!

Cheers!

Wish I could be there Ralph and gang, I expect it to be epic.
I don't always piss in a bottle but when I do...I prefer to call it Dos Equis.

of the 5 I tried, the jonny boy double ipa was the winner.

Good event, surprised to hear house music at bar volo, but it was great! The guys from ddc were playing music via traktor on their laptops.
