E A R T H D A Y 🌎 In celebration of earth day

E A R T H D A Y 🌎

In celebration of earth day we are excited to release - Nurture Nature, a Hazy Spruce Tip IPA in collaboration with the @westkootenayecosociety.

We brewed this beer to raise funds, and awareness for a campaign close to our hearts, and one that the WKES works tirelessly for - Defend The Old Growth Forest.

🌲NURTURE NATURE
🌲6.4% ABV // 22 IBU

🍻Brewed with Citra, Mosaic, Centennial and Spruce tips. Aptly described by Ryan during the brew as, “a juice bomb with trees in it!”
We used plenty of flaked oats and malted wheat for a smooth finish and fluffy, thick mouthfeel. Bursting with note of citrus, tropical fruit, and spruce. Keeping the bitterness low, this beer is a sprucy and juicy dream!

🍻 The beer will be available to purchase in 4pks, singles and fills TODAY from our taproom.

🍻 You can also grab a pint on tap at @TheroyalNelson, @brokenhill, @humehotel.

Cheers, and thank you for your support as always,

The West Kootenay Eco Society and Nelson Brewing Company 💚

@TorchlightBrewing has teamed up with breweries in

@TorchlightBrewing has teamed up with breweries in the Kootenays to brew Putin Huilo (roughly translated to 'Putin is a dickhead'). A beer from Pravda, a Ukrainian brewery who put the call out to breweries around the world to raise money for humanitarian relief in Ukraine.

We brewed in collaboration with @AngryHenBrewing, @BackroadsBrewing, @TailoutBrewing and @Torchlightbrewing 🍻

Thanks to @NorthwestHopFarms @westkey_graphics, @mile37canning @bsgcraft and Wiloid Designs for sponsoring this beer.

About the beer🍻
8% ABV Dry Hopped golden ale.

Brewed from Pilsner Malt, Caramunich and Wheat. The Saphir dry-hop deliver notes of citrus, while adding balance to this strong golden ale. A hint of coriander adds to the herbal elements of the other noble hops used.

The beer is available in cans and on tap at Torchlight, Backroads, Tailout and Angry Hen with all proceeds go to humanitarian relief in Ukraine. 💙💛

D O U B L E R E L E A S E

Just in time for this Spring heatwave (too far?!) we are lucky to be basking in, we are stoked to announce a double Locals Only Lager Release:

Loki Lager // 4.5%

Brewed in the Queen City, you could say this is the Queen of Beers! A base of pilsner malt and flaked corn make for a super sessionable, light and crisp lager. Enjoy hints of fresh melon on the nose from the Huell Melon hops..

Last Lap Lager // 5.1%

The Last Lap is upon us! Brewed with spring adventures in mind, this crisp, light lager is one for the hill. Bright and clean from the delicate pilsner malt background. Brewed with German Noble hops, Saaz and Huell Melon for subtle notes of summer melon and a delicate bitter finish.

These are taproom only releases, head on down to the brewery to grab a 4pk before it’s gone. ✌️
