    12 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    Our 4th installment in the Kennel sour series. Heavily dosed with organic rosehips and hibiscus after fermentation this beer pours a rich pink and is as crushable as it is purdy. Hibiscus provides a lemony tartness and berry while the rosehip offers notes of cranberry and a light bitterness akin to black tea. This beer is balanced with the tart, fruit and bitter flavours playing together then quickly dissipating to a clean, dry finish.

    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    20 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Aromas of mild roast, coffee and maple brought to you in a very easy drinking package. Oat brings subtle nutty flavours and viscosity to the roasty impression and the maple remains intertwined with the malt derived flavours poking its head up every so often to make its presence known. Brewed with Ontario sourced amber maple syrup and made to be refreshing and easy going.

    Hey there, we were literally just driving by and my gf noticed the building. I love black and love draft beer so we quickly pulled in. Big place with a lot of tables and tv sets. 2 patios with the one in the back being huge. I had ordered a mango sour and the GF ordered a Mexican Lager beer. Great place and lots of dogs walking around. Looking forward to going back when I have more time.

    Very good place to go with your dog. Inside has high table which make hard our fur puppy to sniff our food. The beverages are eccentric and they explained every single one, also you can taste before order. Apart from beverages, there is a little "food table" where you can order some street food sandwiches.
