Berry Berliner by Innocente Brewing
— This seasonal was brewed as a collaboration
between Innocente of Waterloo and craftloving
Beertown Public House (locations in
Waterloo, London, Cambridge,
and Burlington). Brewed with
raspberries and blackberries,
it’s a nod to Ontario fruit
farmers. It’s very light at
3.8% abv with an entrylevel
tartness. Innocente
and Beertown have done six
collaborative brews — keep an eye out for
them. Berry Berliner is in cans at the brewery
or available for growler fills.
Sports by Refined Fool — Named in
honour of sports being one of our most
beloved universal
conversation-starters
(How ‘bout those Leafs?
Finally, eh?), Sports is
5.5% abv and 20 IBU
(International Bitterness
Units). This saison uses
boysenberries. Tasting
notes point out tangerine
and honey flavours. Game on!
Face for a Neck Tattoo by Refined Fool
— Make it two for Sarnia’s
craft brewery. This 5.2% abv,
27 IBU saison uses Szechuan
peppercorns. The name plays
on tough guys softened by
liking the taste of this one.
Keyser Gose by Forked
River — Brewers at London’s
Forked River used lactobacillus
followed by brewers yeast to
create this new gently sour,
citrusy gose, a beer style from
Germany. It’s a brewery store/
Forked River online exclusive.
Spirit of the Woods by
Revel Cider — Guelph’s cider
house collaborated with Dillon’s
Small Batch
Distillers of Beamsville to
create this by aging the cider
on spent gin botanicals. A
gold medal winner at the
Ontario Cider Awards in
2015, Spirit of the Woods is
6.9% abv.
