    Do you hear that?.. Ominous Whooshing IPA is back! Loaded up with Strata, Citra and Simcoe hops, this hazy IPA is juicy and smooth. An orchard’s worth of stone fruit and some bright citrus balance out the moderate bitterness.

    Sour - Fruited | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    For this latest iteration of Voices Carry we took our base sour and aged it 4 months. It was then conditioned on generous amounts of blackberry, black currant, concord grape and a touch of lactose for a delicious, slightly sweet and creamy treat. This beer is our homage to the OG wine cooler that Spark’s founder—Andrea—drank back in the day.

    IPA - American | 
    6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    43 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    Better Late Than Never Blood Orange IPA is our latest juicy & hoppy beer! We added a bunch of blood orange and we got a beer bursting with fresh & bright citrus notes. A sweet aroma is followed up by a soft body with a lingering off-dry & tangy finish.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Pilsner - Italian | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    33 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    How About Italy? Good idea! Our new dry-hopped Italian-style Pilsner is made with 100% pilsner malt and dry hopped with Saphir and Spalter Select hops. This refreshingly simple dry beer has a blast of citrus, restrained mowed grass and summer vibes.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, August 18, 2021 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Farmhouse Ale - Saison | 
    6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    A classic old world saison. 100% Ontario pilsner, Vienna and wheat malts make for a golden coloured, highly drinkable Belgian saison. Black pepper and stone fruit and citrus dominate, but a slight herbal, fruity hop note from the Styrian Golding and Saaz hops comes through on the finish.

    Sour - Fruited | 
    6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    Tart, tropical, fruity and refreshing. We added a surfeit of tropical goodness to Even Downtown, our stainless-aged sour beer. This beautifully golden-coloured ale explodes with pink guava and passionfruit. Bring the tropics home!

  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    Sour - Berliner Weisse | 
    4% Alcohol/Vol. |

    Manhire Berliner Weisse has returned just in time for our first anniversary! ? A traditional German sour wheat ale fermented for 4 months and then conditioned with 2 strains of Brettanomyces wild yeast. Tart and refreshing with notes of sourdough, sunshine and light citrus funk. Bottle and keg conditioned. It has notes of bright citrus, biscuit and a slight earthy funk

    Pale Ale - American | 
    4% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    34 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    This all Citra pale ale is double dry hopped and conditioned with lime zest for a refreshing, citrusy treat that is full of hop flavour with very little bitterness. At 4.0% ABV it’s light, effortless and breathtaking… like witnessing the perfect cartwheel.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, July 29, 2022 
  •  3.9 on Untappd.
    IPA - American | 
    6.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    38 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    Spark Super Dry is a hazy IPA with a fun, old-school twist. We made this to be drier than most north-east IPAs which results in a drinkable and awesomely hoppy beer. Centennial, Idaho 7 and El Dorado hops create a candied orange, watermelon and stone fruit explosion.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, April 8, 2020

    IPA - American | 
    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. |

    Spark goes west!! This West Coast IPA features a distinct bitterness balanced by biscuity malt character. Featuring citrus and herbal notes, this is the perfect beer as patio season begins.

    Stout - Pastry | 
    8.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    34 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    The best dessert ever but in beer form! It's the glorious return of Black as Midnight on a Moonless Night in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada Nanaimo Bar Stout. We brewed this Double Dessert Stout with tons of toasted coconut, dark chocolate, graham crackers, lactose, and just the right amount of vanilla. It all comes together in a rich roasty stout with toasty coconut up front, balanced out by bitter chocolate, sweet lactose, and a boozy warmth. Literally a Nanaimo bar in a glass.

    Blonde / Golden Ale - Other | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    27 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    It's summer! And that means porch sitting with a fine beverage. We used traditional Czech Lager malts and hops to give this zesty blonde beer a pilsner-vibe. It was fermented with a very clean and crisp Norwegian Kveik farmhouse yeast blend. Red fruit on the nose with a refreshing finish.

    IPA - Imperial / Double New England / Hazy | 
    8.1% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    66 IBU (Robust Bitterness) 
    It might be cold, but this Double IPA will remind you of those fun and sunny July days on the Sparking lot patio! ? Loads of Citra and Mosaic give this 8.0% hazy IPA a big splash of citrus and stonefruit and perhaps some comfort in knowing that good things can still happen.

    Voices Carry Raspberry returns! This iteration is a summery pink treat bursting with raspberries. Slightly tart with a bright carbonation, this favourite has a bretty, earthy funk. Get it while it lasts!

    IPA - Imperial / Double | 
    7.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    67 IBU (Robust Bitterness) 
    Double Activities! is back! again! We amped up the Strata hops this time to produce a juicy hazy Double IPA loaded with that double danky goodness. Mosaic and Citra round out this fun beer to produce an herbaceous, weedy and citrusy delight.

    Pale Ale - American | 
    5.3% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    37 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    How Far? is our latest hoppy pale ale and a celebration of warmer weather. A balanced amount of Loral and Citra hops add a citrus and spice that play well with the earthiness from the 100% Ontario barley and wheat.

    'Til Tuesday is a new series of blended beers including 18 month old barrel aged sour beer. This iteration was fermented with Italian Plums for a month before bottling. Slight oak and funk from the barrel aging leads into jammy plums. It's dry and effervescent and will leave you humming Aimee Mann songs in your head. This beer is one of our new favourites!

    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    22 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Our take on a German-style Oktoberfest beer, lagered for seven weeks for our first annual Sparktoberfest celebration. A delicious, malty lager with a beautiful amber hue is best served in a stein for ultimate enjoyment.

    Sour - Fruited | 
    4.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    This lively sour beer first hits with a delightful blast of raspberry from the super ripe whole raspberries and finishes with a slight lemony twist by way of fresh lemon zest and lemon juice. Dragon fruit adds an intense red colour to an already red, juicy and ridiculously fun beer.
    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, August 12, 2023 
  •  4 on Untappd.
    IPA - New England / Hazy | 
    6.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    54 IBU (Robust Bitterness) 
    The joys of endless scrolling! But don't scroll past this excellent hazy IPA, brewed with Mississippi Mills Pilsner malt as well as a touch of wheat and oats for a lightly creamy body. Dry-hopped with loads of Citra and Mosaic, it evokes aromas of juicy peach and sweet citrus and finishes with a gentle hop bite. The perfect accompaniment to hours of cat videos ?.
    Inaugural Batch: Thursday, February 23, 2023 
  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    Brett Beer | 
    6.4% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    35 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    The second release from our oak foeder is Lulu, a porter-like beer that was fermented for six months with a blend of Belgian and Brettanomyces wild yeasts. It was then bottle conditioned all summer long. This black, rich beer has notes of oak, dark-roasted coffee, and English biscuits. A firm brett backbone and soft carbonation balance out the small amount of residual sugar. Perfect for sipping by the fire after a hard day of nothing much at all.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, September 24, 2021

    Great place for a quick drink if you're in Chinatown! Kind and attentive staff, nice drinks. We had their pizza by the slices last time we went (tasty) but it looks like they've updated to full pies now, however I imagine them to be just as good. Patio is cute, I appreciate their clean bathrooms as well!

    Amazing Experience at Spark beer. Will Definitely Be Back! I've been to this place a few times now, and every visit has been fantastic. I'm especially thrilled that they're open longer now, which makes it even more convenient to drop by. Their pizza is hands down one of the best I've had. You can really taste the quality and effort the cooks put into every dishmajor shoutout to the kitchen team for consistently delivering amazing food! The brewery side is also top-notch, with a great selection of craft beers I'll definitely be back soon!

    I had been told this was one of the places in town I needed to try and my friends were 100% correct! Making a reservation on their website way really easy and I did get a reminder well in advance by email. The server was probably one of the best I've ever had. Everything she suggested was spot on. She got the pairings to perfection and she was extremely friendly. I can't say enough good things about her, my friend and I were truly impressed. The pizza was incredible. It was so good we ordered a second. The beer was amazing, the gin cocktail was delicious and refreshing and even bought some beer to bring home. Also, spinning some vinyl definitely made my night. Tears For Fears...what a way to get someone singing at their table! This is somewhere I need to make a second visit to.

    SUCH a cool spot in the heart of Chinatown; I was blown away. It's a really cool vibe, with lots of tasty beer (and pizza) options. It's quite a small spot, so I advise making reservations. I will absolutely be coming back to check out trivia nights or just take some friends

    A great brewery in a great location. Some of the best sours in the game and their other fare is a rarity in 12oz can format. Come try a flight! Bring a classy date.
