    This collaboration with our friends from Twin Sails Brewing started one fateful night in the town of Dunham. We were lodged together in a house on a hill, for Brasserie Dunham’s Foudres Unis festival. After sharing a few beers, the plan for this collab was hatched! We departed from our usual base wort, opting to include Cara Aroma and Munich malts. After fermenting for 16 months in Spanish red wine barrels the resulting blend has medium acidity, bright red fruit notes, light wine tannin, and a dry finish.

    Lager O’Darkness is our homage to the classic lighter dark beer. We put our lager twist on it and walk the line between easy drinkability and rich maltiness. It is black in color with high clarity, low bitterness, and notes of dark chocolate and toasty malt. Believe it or not, this is a great patio beer.

    This collab with our friends from Sea Change is the second of two beers we brewed together; both were produced using identical ingredients but different processes. This Mixed Fermentation blend was fermented in Italian Moscato Bianco and Chianti barrels for 14 months using a special blend of yeasts and bacteria. The result is bright white wine fruitiness and red wine depth with intense citrus and floral hop character. It has round texture with high acidity, and a juicy finish.

    Whoops’ origins lie in an error made in a batch of Union Bhoys many years ago. Too much wheat was added and a new beer was created. We did an aggressive dry hop with German Tettnang to give Whoops a bright hop bite with a menthol twinge. Be amazed at our mistakes!

    The Mimic is a Quick Turn Mixed Fermentation beer, fermented in stainless steel tanks for 4 months. Our use of the traditional Turbid Mashing process lends to full texture and flavour, while having a very low alcohol content. It is fermented with a special blend of Saccharomyces, Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus. This unique blend of organisms gives bright citrus and tropical fruit flavours and aromas, balanced by a round texture and medium acidity.

    This beer was fermented using a house-blend of microorganisms in French oak barrels for one year. This batch has a medium-light acidity that showcases a balanced and bright stone fruit character. Measure of Patience reflects our effort and focus during the 5 year journey to release our first beer from The Monolith brewery. We hope you like it.

    Ferry of the Damned is a Quick Turn mixed fermentation beer fermented in stainless steel tanks for 4 months. It was then re-fermented on Riesling Grape Pomace with the addition of a special blend of microorganisms for an additional 2 months. The time spent on the Riesling pomace adds subtle wine character with additional texture and complexity. The result is a unique beer with bright citrus and wine flavours, subtle nutty aromatics, and medium light acidity. - We hope you like it.

    Deb returns 5 years after being a staple in our launch lineup. Deb is a malty English-style ale with a sharp hop bite. Dry hopped with East Kent Goldings, Deb finishes very dry, crisp, and punctuated with orange marmalade and citrus notes. Deb is back and as delicious as ever!

    Substantially Complete reflects The Monolith both as a physical entity and the beer it produces. This blend is a snapshot of our mixed fermentation program year to year, using Marsala, Red Wine and Cognac barrels of different vintages. After fermenting for 1, 2, & 3 years using a house-blend of microorganisms, the result is our quintessential blend— adventurous, yet balanced, with bright peach and citrus flavour, light oxidative and wine notes, highlighted by a medium acidity. We hope you like it!

    This is the lager version of mainstay Extra Special Monk ale. It combines the flavours of the ESM with the smoothness of a lager. It is a pale, hoppy lager with tropical aroma and flavours, low-medium bitterness, and a dry finish.

    Sojourn in Sicily is a Mixed Fermentation blend featuring unique characteristics imparted by Sicilian Marsala barrels. The beer fermented in the Marsala barrels for 20 months before being blended. This blend is the first led by our brewer Ian “Nar” Nawrot who has been with the brewery since the start. The result is a robust beer with subtle red berry and rose water aromatics, savoury walnut and maple flavours, which are amplified by a medium high acidity. We hope you like it!

    Mix-Fermented in oak barrels. The Fruitful Pursuits Series is made in late summer when ripe fruit is in season and at peak quality. For 2019 Plum we used hundreds of kilograms of freshly harvested Damson and President Okanagan plums which stayed on this mixed-ferment blend for 2 months. The result is bright ruby-purple colour, very prominent plum character, and a medium-high acidity.

    MIXED BARREL FERMENTATION Mentis Oculi is the second release in the Dry Hop Series. This blend of one and a half year mixed-ferment barrels is a collision of two worlds. Old World Tettnang and New World Simcoe, two wildly different hops, blend delightfully to dry hop this beer. The result is honey floral, ripe papaya, and light menthol hop character balanced by a full, round texture and medium-light acidity. We hope you like it.

This beer was fermented using a house-blend of microorganisms in French oak barrels for one year. It was bottle-conditioned for seven months before release. It has a medium acidity and a bold peach and citrus fruit character.

    This collaboration with our friends from Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel! is a turbid mashed lager, fermented in Spanish red wine barrels then conditioned with Brettanomyces for 8 months. This process results in floral, honey character, with over ripe fruit and light Brettanomyces notes. It picks up subtle wine fruitiness and tannin from thebarrels and finishes with a delicate tart acidity.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, November 18, 2020

    Incredible experience at the Blind Enthusiasm brewing company. I thought I understood how beer was made but this was on another level. Totally fascinating introduction to spontaneous yeast brewing. If you like your beer, you have to make a visit to this brilliantly innovative brewery.

    What a beautiful special place! I just moved to the area and finally got to pop in and check out this incredible market, brewery, restaurant and shops in the beautiful, trendy up & coming Ritchie area at the 4 way stop. I hope to come back and take a wee tour on the Brewery side and maybe bring cameras and snap a few if permitted of course - I've heard amazing things about their craft beers! Not sure, I don't think they have a GF beer yet I look so forward to a date night, coming back and trying their steak I've heard is a must try!

    The beer is pretty good, if you like sour beers. Not much variation if you don't like sours. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom and I let them know. Later, my partner went to a different bathroom, and no toilet paper. My friend went to the same bathroom I went to and very little toilet paper added in. Would be nice if they paid attention to all aspects of the brewery.

    This is a popular place, try to make a reservation first. I loved the room; bright, open and interesting. The beer was outstanding, I had the SPF 3.82 and recommend it. The food was also unique and over the top tasty. I found the food prices rather high, but they don't serve pub food here. The chef has taken local ingredients and, instead of going rustic, elevated them in interesting ways. I've never had SUNFLOWER SEED & RYE RISOTTO with 24 month Mimolette cheese and sunflower shoots before and boy am I glad I ordered it. Share the plates and savour them because, like the beer, the palate needs time to process what is going on.
