THIRD MOON BREWING
MILTON, ON
BONE TWIG
PALE ALE – NEW ENGLAND STYLE • 5.2% ABV
Brewed with oats and hopped exclusively with our hand-selected Citra from Yakima Chief. It's a full-bodied hazy pale with plenty of hop saturation that drinks like an IPA.

THIRD MOON BREWING
MILTON, ON
BONE TREE
IPA – NEW ENGLAND STYLE • 6.5% ABV
An all Citra IPA brewed with oats and barley. Expect massively juicy tropical and citrus fruit with an absolutely silky-smooth body and low bitterness. This batch uses our selected Citra from Yakima! We loved this lot from Sodbuster Farms in Washington for the big tropical fruit and none of the catty/woody aromatics Citra can sometimes have.

BADLANDS BREWING
CALEDON, ON
DORA 69
IPA – NEW ENGLAND • 6.5% ABV
For this version of Dora we took our wheat percentage in the grist higher than we normally would and added some DynaBoost™ whirlpool hop extract in the whirlpool. This is a newly named flowable hop product from @yakimachief. Hopped with all the Citra, the result is an extra fluffy Dora saturated in hops, ripe in citrus, tropical notes and some crushed mango.

SILVERSMITH BREWING
NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, ON
THE BLACK LAGER
SCHWARZBIER • 5% ABV
Balanced flavours of toasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. Black lagers are similar to stouts in that it is made from roasted malt, which gives it its dark colour. However, Schwarzbiers are made using a cool fermentation method, which classes them as lager.

ALL OF MY FRIENDS BEER
PICTON, PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY, ON
CAPTAIN
STOUT – DOUBLE MILK • 9% ABV
This silky Imperial milk stout pours black with creamy brown glass-coating bubbles. Aromas of vanilla and hazelnut combine beautifully with the rich roasted malts and subtle chocolate flavours that reveal themselves with every sip. Medium bodied and so easy to drink, Captain is the perfect beer to lead us through the dark and cooler days ahead. Share with friends…or don’t.

TORONTO, ON
DOUBLE TEMPEST (2020)
STOUT – BOURBON BARREL AGED • 11.9% ABV
Aged for eight months in fresh bourbon barrels, the 2020 vintage of Double Tempest balances notes of cocoa powder and dried cherries with the sweetness of creme brulé and sticky toffee.

BADLANDS BREWING
CALEDON, ON
FWD (MOSAIC 701)
IPA – NEW ENGLAND • 6.5% ABV
A big hop saturated single IPA brewed for the FWD program in collaboration with Yakima Chief Hops. Dry hopped with Motueka and Mosaic, there are two beers in this series. They are the EXACT same beer out of the kettle and split into two different fermenters. This one is called (Mosaic 701). This particular beer employs the use of a brand-new oil enriched extract (Mosaic 701) in the dry hop that is only available through the FWD program. Try them both and let us know what you think! Your feedback quite literally will help steer the development of this hop product.

BADLANDS BREWING
CALEDON, ON
FWD (CONTROL BEER)
IPA – NEW ENGLAND • 6.5% ABV
A big hop saturated single IPA brewed for the FWD program in collaboration with Yakima Chief Hops. This one is called (Control Beer). It is exactly as it sounds; it is the “control” beer for the experiment, meaning it did NOT get the new Mosaic 701 enriched hop oil.

NIAGARA COLLEGE TEACHING BREWERY
NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, ON
CAMINO'S DEL ALMA
STOUT – PASTRY • 11.9% ABV
A robust caramel fragrance with a subtle tanginess like goat's milk. Its profile is enhanced by a delightful fusion of spices, including vanilla, offering a complex and elevated experience. Crafted to evoke the essence of a dessert, specifically a Mexican delicacy (Crepes with cajeta and banana), in this beer you can anticipate a velvety, and sweet flavor highlighted by a distinct caramel essence courtesy of the cajeta (Mexican dulce de leche). Subsequently, experience notes of ripe banana, sweet chocolate, and delicate hints of vanilla.
SONNEN HILL BREWING
CALEDON, ON
NO WORRY
FARMHOUSE ALE/SAISON – MIXED FERMENTATION • 4.5% ABV
A blend of three-year-old spontaneous beer and saison aged on Riesling wine lees in stainless for 24 months. It has a complex funk with light acid and a nice full mouthfeel. Located on a 37-acre farm in Caledon, ON. Sonnen Hill uses almost exclusively Ontario-grown ingredients and focus on natural fermentation using cultures from the environment around them: 200 fruit trees, a vegetable garden, and 12 beehives. Sonnen Hill works with the local conservation authority to reintroduce native grasses, wildflowers, and adds bird and bat boxes to create a nice habitat for the wildlife around them.

THIRD MOON BREWING
MILTON, ON
CONTINUOUS BLOOD
IPA – NEW ENGLAND• 6.8% ABV
A Galaxy-hopped IPA at 6.8%. We absolutely love the series of beers we've made off of this recipe (Occasional Blood pale ale all the way up to Quadruple Continuous Blood) but this OG version just hits perfectly every time.
