Enjoy biscuity malt with hints of toffee and fresh bread, mingling with pine, herbal grass, and a touch of orange blossom esters from the hops. Finishes dry with a soft apricot-marmalade fruitiness.

Beer: Bell Tree (2025)
Brewery: Third Moon Brewing
Description: Bell Tree is a 10.5% Triple IPA we brewed in collaboration with our friends @bellwoodsbeer. We teamed up with the legends at Bellwoods to make a fun riff on each other's Triple IPA and used some hops we're both loving. Bell Tree is brewed with a hefty dose of oats and hopped with an excessive amount of Riwaka, Citra and Loral. A silky melange of citrus, vanilla and berries sits atop an underlying creamsicle base. Look for their version of this collab dropping soon!

Beer: Spring Thaw Maple Cream Ale
Brewery: Town Brewery
Description: We have a special collaboration release for you all today. Spring Thaw is a Maple Cream Ale that we brewed with our friends at the @centrallakeontarioconservation . This year marks 50 years of maple Syrup production at their Purple Woods Conservation Area and we thought it would be fun to brew up something to celebrate.
For this beer we wanted to create something that was light and crisp, and really worked to have the maple be a part of the beer rather than take it over completely. We strived to balance the flavours of a typically mild beer style with the punchy, distinctive flavour of the syrup. The result is almost surprisingly refreshing and super easy drinking.

In celebration of this release we’re doing a Blood Brothers mini tap takeover where we’re featuring their version of Crimson Crew IPA in addition to their Codswallop Nitro Mild Ale and Bear Worship (Raspberry/Blackberrry) Wild Ale.

Beer: Sunnyside Session IPA
Brewery: Great Lakes Brewery
Description: Sunnyside Session IPA pours a brilliant gold, with citrus, pineapple, and grapefruit aromas which make their way onto the palate. The flavours are elevated with a soft carbonation and creamy mouthfeel. A dry finish leaves room for the pineapple to linger. This crisp ale has all the flavours of a big GLB IPA packaged into a remarkably drinkable session ale.

Beer: April DIPA
Brewery: Badlands Brewery
Description: The monthly DIPA series is our neutral, hop ready canvas to play around with all things DIPA.
For April we wanted to put together a classic trio of Pacific North West hops: Citra Mosaic Simcoe. We also tweaked up the malt base to be a bit paler in color. The result is a delectable medley of dank citrus fruits smothered atop squeezed orange and some sneaky pineapple 🍍

Beer: Hot Wings (2025)
Brewery: Bellwoods Brewery
Description: Hot Wings, the name: titled this way so that we can say that we have “Hot Wings on tap” at the Bellwoods Brewpub. Why? Because it is funny, that’s why.
Hot Wings, the beer: outrageously refreshing and hoppy within a crisp and nearly crystal clear package, with notes of orange zest, rose hip, and pine.

Brewery: Bellwoods Brewery
Description: Barn Owl is a series of one-off creations that are released sporadically throughout the year, just as soon as we deem them ripe for picking. No. 37 is a blend of barrel aged wild ales, dry-hopped and conditioned on Gamay grapes.

Beer: Moon Belly
Brewery: Bellwoods Brewery
Description: Moonbelly is a collaborative Triple IPA, created with Third Moon Brewing to commemorate their first anniversary in 2021...and now we're revisiting it to celebrate our very own 13th anniversary!
Borrowing aspects from our Greenbelly and their Triple Bone Tree, Moonbelly is every bit as soft and pillowy as it is intensely aromatic and smooth.
