SNOW ALERT! 🚨⁠
⁠
Head into the weekend like our friend @lemmonade_on_ice here - double fisting some Powder Leopard and shredding the best pow! ⛷️ ❄️⁠
⁠
We brewed this beer to celebrate the official start of endless powder days, and couldn't be happier that it's fresh on tap at @Whitewaterskiresort! ⁠
⁠
This unfiltered, White IPA is every experimental IPA-drinkers dream. Brewed with Cashmere and Mosaic hops with orange peel providing notes of citrus, berries and fresh melon. Complimented by flavours of anise, clove, and banana from the Belgian Witbier yeast. Enjoy a refreshing finish and a hazy, smooth mouthfeel. ⁠

It's time for our next instalment of: Who's Behind Your Brew?! This time we sat down with the Power Leopard himself @MrMalberg. Brett is our Packaging Supervisor, and all-round rockstar. You have likely seen his sensationally crafted mullet around the brewery.⁠

Winter in the Kootenays sure is something special. We can’t get enough of hitting the road and seeing where the next adventure in this winter wonderland will take us. ❄️

Currently Drinking - Valhalla Organic Hazy Pale Ale 🍻

A well balanced, Organic Hazy Pale Ale. Notes of tropical fruit, mango and floral aromas from the additions of Organic Mosaic, Simcoe and Citra hops. Malted wheat and oats give this beer its smooth, creamy mouthfeel. It has a balanced finish, with just the right amount of bitterness.

Our head brewer Simon intended this beer to be dryer than the typical hazy on the market, making it more sessionable after a long brew day!

Check out this epic adventure through the Valley of Chocolate from @fmrlproductions, @jonsimo and @bohdandoval. Based locally here in Nelson, we highly recommend you get in touch with them for all your content creation needs.

Have you managed to snag yourself a 4pk of our most deliciously, decedent small-batch release yet?! We’ve never wanted to drink a beer more!

As winter descends, we all look for warm places of refuge. Hibernaculum, meaning Winter Quarter in Latin, is a rich and velvety pastry stout, brewed on a foundation of roasted bittersweet organic cacao and chocolate malt. 800lbs of raspberry puree was added to accentuate the decadence while bringing balance to a long and creamy vanilla finish. Cheers! 🍻

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the brewhouse, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. 🎄🎁🎄⁠
⁠
The stockings were hung by the fermentors with care, in hopes that St.Nicholas soon would be there. ⁠
⁠
The brewers were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of plum sours danced in their heads. 😴⁠
⁠
When out of Latimer there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the taproom I flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and arrived with some cash. e⁠

Now, Bentpole! Now, Hooligan! Now, Faceplant and Honey! On Harvest, On, Hooligan, On Valhalla and Easy. ⁠

The fridge is stoked full with a variety of Locals Only beers that are exclusive to the brewery. Nestled all snug beside them is our original organic core lineup, plus boat loads of swag for you to get your hands on. ⁠
