3.8 on Untappd.Magic Missile is a reliable beer, that’s true to its name. Handy in all situations, this incredibly sessionable beer has a smooth mouthfeel, lofty head, and a flavour that features a blend of malts that complement its hints of tropical fruit.Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, March 25, 2014 -
3.9 on Untappd.A blast of juicy grapefruit, sweet and fruity up front, sour and mouth watering in the finish. Shapeshifter is kettle soured using Halo's house strains of lactobacillus and then whirlpool and dry hopped ridiculously with Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra, and Centennial hops.Inaugural Batch: Sunday, September 4, 2016 -
3.9 on Untappd.New Wave is our absurdly hopped, super flavourful New England style IPA. It starts with citrus and grape on the nose, and follows through with rich grapefruit, papaya, and orange flavour notes. This juicy and vibrant orange nectar has just enough of a pithy finish to leave you wanting more.Inaugural Batch: Friday, August 5, 2016 -
3.6 on Untappd.A funky, floral flourish. Brewed with rose hips and sorachi ace hops and then fermented with a combination of saccharomyces and house strains of brettanomyces. Tokyo Rose presents a surprisingly full opening mouthfeel, high minerality, and subtle sweetness. Champagne-like, dry finish.Inaugural Batch: Sunday, March 9, 2014 -
3.8 on Untappd.Event Horizon is a rich, chocolatey stout with a smooth mocha head. This roasty brew is the perfect combination of all-encompassing darkness and pleasant caramel sweetness. It’s like if Willy Wonka and Lord Voldemort had an illegitimate child… and that child was beer.Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, March 25, 2014 -
3.8 on Untappd.Gose with strawberry and kiwiInaugural Batch: Saturday, May 7, 2016 -
4 on Untappd.Our exclusively Mosaic-hopped IIPA. Exploding with aromas of over-ripe blueberry, pineapple, and candied orange. Flavours of peach, dank pine, and hints of citrus merge and complement the full and boozy mouthfeel like a hop oil enriched fruit pulp. Clean, pithy finish.Inaugural Batch: Monday, September 21, 2015 -
4 on Untappd.Amplified by a pungent papaya and stone fruit aroma and character, this dialed-up, citra-fueled hop machine is out of control. Although intense, the haywire hops are balanced with a smooth mouthfeel, residual sweetness, and an upfront caramel richness. The machine always prevails.Inaugural Batch: Sunday, September 14, 2014 -
3.7 on Untappd.Dry-hopped with Azacca and CascadeInaugural Batch: Wednesday, May 3, 2017 -
3.8 on Untappd.An IPA with no IBUs, what nonsense is this? Crash Space is an IPA in the same vein as New Wave but balanced purely through the polyphenols imparted by dry hopping where all hop additions are done at cooler temperatures. This hazy IPA features a huge peach aroma and tropical citrus flavours from Vic Secret, Azacca, and El Dorado hops. Extra wheat and oats give it a soft, smooth body. Finishes with a clean pithy bitterness.Inaugural Batch: Saturday, January 12, 2019 -
3.9 on Untappd.This hazy pink nectar is blood orange juice in beer form. The nose is dominated by orange and grapefruit citrus, while flavours of ruby grapefruit and (above all else) blood orange, fill the palate. Full, sour, and pithy with a well balancing sweetness. Finishes tart and dry.Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, May 17, 2017 -
3.7 on Untappd.Deep, dark, and enigmatic, Elder God has risen again, reinvigorated with our new house blend of brettanomyces. Pouring a rich ruby-purple with a magenta head, this elderberry and elderflower saison harbours a complex funkiness, light acidity and high carbonation. Flavours of plum, red wine, and dark berries mingle with restrained tannic character while cherry and grape popsicle dominate the aroma.Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, February 24, 2015 -
3.8 on Untappd.Aged for over six months, this tart summer saison is a nose of ripe apricot, light citrus with hints of farmhouse funkiness. Flavours of zesty upfront lemon are followed by peach and granny smith apple; finishing with fresh, bright apricot. Light bodied, highly carbonated, super refreshing.Inaugural Batch: Thursday, May 26, 2016 -
3.8 on Untappd.A deep violet-purple hop juice. This fruited variation of Shapeshifter features a ton of up-front Blackberry flavour and aroma combined with an incredibly full and surprisingly complex mouthfeel. Kettle soured using Halo's house strains of lactobacillus and then heavily whirlpool and dry hopped using Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra, and Belma.Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, August 29, 2017 -
3.8 on Untappd.Kettle soured with our house lactobacillus culture and fermented on Key Lime concentrate using our house brett cultures.

Clean, tart, dry finish.Inaugural Batch: Thursday, November 16, 2017 -
3.7 on Untappd.Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, August 31, 2016 -
3.8 on Untappd.A juicy tropical addition to our ongoing line-up of wine Imperial IPAs, this Kaleidoscope features a huge nose of mango, passionfruit, and gooseberry. It balances the tart vinous qualities of fermented grape must with a full mouthfeel imparted by oodles of hop oils from a massive dry hop with Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin, Azacca, and Sabro. Like drinking a candied tropical fruit.Inaugural Batch: Friday, March 7, 2014 -
3.9 on Untappd.Making a unique imperial stout has been a long-time goal for us: Meet Fallen Empire, a gargantuan, chewy, intense, mole/mayan-style imperial stout. This confluence of cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon, and four kinds of chili peppers presents as Mayan chocolate in beer form. With a nose of subtle cinnamon, flavours of chocolate and vanilla, and a rich dessert-like mouthfeel, Fallen Empire ends with a fiery flourish of spicy chilis that quickly fades into the depths of history.Inaugural Batch: Thursday, September 10, 2020 -
3.9 on Untappd.A blast of juicy tangerine and grapefruit, sweet and fruity up front, sour and mouthwatering in the finish. This beer is kettle soured using Halo’s house strains of lactobacillus and then whirlpool and dry hopped ridiculously. Tangerine concentrate was used during the primary fermentation to complement the grapefruit notes from the heaps of hops.Inaugural Batch: Saturday, October 7, 2017 -
4 on Untappd.A nose of fresh lemon zest mingled with rich vanilla. Mouth puckering upfront citrus eases into smooth and sweet vanilla notes, reminiscent of lemon meringue pie. Lemon Shapeshifter++ combines cut and zested lemons, lemon concentrate and hops selected to further punch those citrus qualities — we've then balanced those brighter notes with the deep earthy qualities of Madagascar vanilla and the sweetness of lactose.Inaugural Batch: Friday, July 17, 2020 -
4 on Untappd.This version of our Shapeshifter++ series features aromas and flavours that are undeniably key lime pie forward, with background hints of grapefruit. A pale lemon-lime colouration with light carbonation and tons of sour citrus balanced by a soft lactose sweetness.Inaugural Batch: Saturday, April 25, 2020 -
3.9 on Untappd.Yet another fruited Shapeshifter, this time with the very jammy vibes of Black Currant. Overtones of dark fruit, popsicle, and grapefruit mingle in the aroma and flavour. Tart, mildly tanic, balanced with a light sweetness. Grapey-grapefruit black currant jam.Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, May 14, 2019 -
3.7 on Untappd.100 Pts. is a deep ruby colour with a frothy white head. Its rich colour comes from sour cherries which complement the dark, fruit flavours that dubbels are known for. This is an excellent beer for people who think they don't like beer, people who love beer unconditionally, and people who like obscure video game references from the 1980s.Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, March 25, 2014 -
3.8 on Untappd.Flavours and aromas of intense passionfruit and grapefruit, light sweetness up front and a mouth-wateringly sour finish.

3.8 on Untappd.Kettle soured with our house lactobacillus culture and fermented on both Sweet and Tart Cherry concentrates using our house brett cultures. Constantly evolving aroma and flavour of funky cherry blasters and sweettarts. Tart, dry, cherry pie.Inaugural Batch: Saturday, January 12, 2019

a month agoProbably the best sour beers I've had. The lagers and IPA were top-flight too. The chips + pico were the perfect snack. Add the cozy, bike-friendly neighbourhood to the mix and you've got an ideal little local brewery.

5 months agoHad the Mary's Brigadeiro Chocolate Salted Caramel Imperial Stout, which is full of flavor!

a year agoCute little brewery with a small patio. A nice variety of beers, some sours, some IPAs and some barrel aged beers. A unique feature of this brewery is that they publish all of their recipes, so if you want to try home brewing, you can replicate your favourites.

a year agoHalo is a really cute brewery tucked away in a great location. They offer an incredible selection of some of the best and most colorful sours you will ever have. Whether you are drinking them fresh from the brewery or at home on your couch they are uniquely delicious and make for a great conversation!
