    IPA - American | 
    6.6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    87 IBU (Intense Bitterness) 
    This unfiltered IPA is aggressively hopped with a trio of varieties—and then dry-hopped twice—to create a layers of flavour that span grapefruit pithiness to tropical fruit to pine.
    Inaugural Batch: Sunday, February 1, 2015 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    IPA - Black / Cascadian Dark Ale | 
    6.2% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    72 IBU (Robust Bitterness) 
    Step into the darkness with this multiple gold medal winner. Unfiltered, dry-hopped and layered with roasted malts, this Black IPA blends big hoppy flavours with complex mocha notes.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, March 21, 2014 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Stout - Milk / Sweet | 
    5.6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    12 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    This double chocolate milk stout brings all of your fantasies to life. A healthy helping of Belgian chocolate enriches its body, while English chocolate malts provide its dark-as-night colour. And creamy milk sugar creates a mouthfeel so smooth you'll want to scream Holy Cow!
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, September 6, 2013 
  •  3.4 on Untappd.
    Pumpkin / Yam Beer | 
    5.8% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    We went to great lengths to bring you this killer autumn treat. Pumpkins were handpicked by our brew team from the depths of the path. A cornucopia of spices were added to them before roasting and then the sweet flesh—along with creamy milk sugar—went into this chocolate-hued porter. It’s like homemade pumpkin pie with whipped cream. But better, because it’s beer.
    Inaugural Batch: Thursday, October 15, 2015 
  •  3.3 on Untappd.
    Blonde / Golden Ale - Other | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    20 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    We made Gold Lagered Ale for those everyday moments worth celebrating. Crafted with specialty ale yeast, but carefully fermented like a lager, it has a smooth body and crisp finish. This beer is complex enough to contemplate, but easy drinking enough to simply enjoy with friends after a game of pond hockey or at the end of a dock on a hot summer’s afternoon.
    Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, June 5, 2012 
  •  3.5 on Untappd.
    Red Ale - American Amber / Red | 
    5.2% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    18 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Big Rig Canadian Amber is a true celebration of our country. 100% brewed with the very best ingredients grown in Canada. Subtly sweet notes complement its refreshing, delicately hopped body.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, June 6, 2012 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Pale Ale - American | 
    5.8% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    75 IBU (Intense Bitterness) 
    We gave our hop supplier a shakedown until they gave us the best hops they had. This is Alpha Bomb's little brother, so expect a big hop aroma coupled with a balanced malt body.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, October 19, 2016 
  •  3.4 on Untappd.
    Pilsner - German | 
    5.2% Alcohol/Vol. |

    Wheat Beer - Hefeweizen | 
    4.8% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    12 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    Big Boot Hefeweizen is an unfiltered German-style wheat beer that pours a gorgeous cloudy yellow. What follows next is like magic—smooth, refreshing bursts of clove, banana and mild spices by way of our speciality yeast. It’s like sunshine in a glass.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Shandy / Radler | 
    2.9% Alcohol/Vol. |

    A hazy pink, pale light lager flavored with fresh, sweet and tart pink grapefruit juice, zested with an effervescent touch of ginger for your summer enjoyment
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, June 12, 2015 
  •  3.5 on Untappd.
    Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy | 
    6.4% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    13 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    There is nothing wee about this Scotch Ale. The body is rich and smooth, with flavours that move from caramel to raisin to molasses. The hand-smoked malts give it a touch of peatiness that take it over the top. Slàinte!
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, January 25, 2013 
  •  3.5 on Untappd.
    Bock - Hell / Maibock / Lentebock | 
    5.8% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    35 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    Maibocks are a transitional beer—something to enjoy after hibernating during the winter and before shedding your clothes for the hot summer to come. We embraced that tradition with our Hoppin' Maibock. This amber lager features delicate layers of malts, and is dry-hopped with a New Zealand variety to introduce big, punchy tropical notes that will make you sing.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, February 12, 2016 
  •  3.2 on Untappd.
    Lager - American Light | 
    4% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness)

    Inaugural Batch: Friday, May 27, 2016 
  •  3.5 on Untappd.
    Stout - Pastry | 
    5.6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    12 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    Feast your eyes on our Winter Seasonal! Busted Sled Gingerbread Stout is ripe with notes of ginger cinnamon and roasted coffee.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, December 6, 2013 
  •  3.5 on Untappd.
    Bock - Single / Traditional | 
    7% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    15 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Bock Me Gently is a riff on a rare classic. We carefully crafted this bock using specialty yeast to create a clean, fresh palette. The result is a gorgeous copper-hued beer with rich maltiness and an incredible depth of avour. It will turn any evening into a celebration and keep you all warm and tender on a cold winter’s night.
    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, August 29, 2015 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    IPA - New England / Hazy | 
    4.4% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    28 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Combines a copious amount of hops in the whirlpool and dry-hopping to create a beer with low bitterness and a sessionable ABV, but a bold aroma and flavour. A zesty and complex aroma leads into a bright flavour, finishing clean and with mild bitterness and a hint of malt sweetness.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, May 22, 2020 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    IPA - American | 
    6.1% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    A classic West Coast IPA with a modern twist. A moderate bitterness is complemented by malts that bring out a soft and slightly sweet, fruity grain character. This, paired with Pahto, Chinook, Simcoe, and Citra hops, pay homage to the classic West Coast IPA while also bringing a juicy element of tropical fruit. Slightly hazy, highly aromatic and flavourful, and very crushable.

    You asked for it and we made it. We are finally combining the hops of Alpha Bomb and the refreshing genius of Bongo into ONE can of deliciousness that we call BONGO BOMB.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, April 19, 2023 
  •  3.4 on Untappd.
    Lager - Mexican | 
    4.7% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    Brewed to be light, easy-drinking and refreshing. This lager pours with a dense and lasting pure-white foam, and is a bright straw yellow. Hints of malt, corn, flowers and hay can be pulled from the aroma, while the flavour adds a note of crack and sweet grain. Light in body with a soft carbonation, and a mild dry bitterness. Best enjoyed with a plate full of tacos!
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, July 15, 2022

    We had a disappointing experience here. We came to celebrate a special anniversary dinner. The last time we visited big rig, they had a large menu. We were pretty disappointed to see the limited menu and now only standard pizza toppings. We beers are always good and the pizza was pretty tasty as well. The server was very inattentive. We asked for a dipping sauce 3 times and never got it. No refills on drinks and an overall unwelcoming attitude. Not sure if the poor service was just an off night, but the wholenl experience wasn't amazing.

    Another excellent evening with awesome food, great service, clean, spacious seating with a great choice of booths, and tables. Perfect for small get togethers or large group events. They also have some of the best craft brewed offerings around.

    I was very disappointed with the food On the menu the steak is photographed as huge and luscious but you get it and it looks like a quarter of what's in the photo. The fries were soggy too, looked like the oil was not up to the right temperature. The veggie in the ramekin was missing too, as seen in the photos. I recommend the pizza and chicken salad, they looked good. Don't GET THE STEAK.

    Stopped in at Big Rig Kitchen before taking in the Senators game. How could we not support Senators D-man #4! Conveniently located just off the 417, we were able to easily grab a bite and then circle back for the game. Food was good and prices were on par with other pub style fare. We definitely enjoyed our meal and time at Big Rig. Our server was extremely friendly and our orders came out fast and hot. If you're into craft beer, then plan to make a pit stop here and check out the local flavours.
