Zuul dopplebock

Brewed in collaboration with @craftbeermarketqualityinn this German-style lager boasts a rich malt profile, toasty caramel notes, and a smooth, full body.

  • ABV – 7%
    Temp – 7-9ºC
    Glass – Sommelier
    Vegan – Yes

    We bucked the tradition of including a goat on our doppelbock label in favour of a more terrifying horned creature – Zuul (yes, THAT Zuul from Ghostbusters.)

 
 
 
 

manitoba Lambic

Olde world funk meets hazy and horsey notes.

  • ABV – 4.8%
    Ideal Temp – 6-8ºC
    Glass – Tulip
    Vegan – Yes

    Profile

    Let’s dive in! This light-bodied 4.8% ale features a hazy light copper appearance below a quickly dissipating head. Expect super funky aromas with hay, horse blanket, and earth notes on the nose. A tart mouthfeel with vibrant carbonation delivers clean lemon-lime with a smooth tartness and little to no acetic values (think funk shandy.) It finishes with a clean citrus tartness that isn’t drying.

    BARREL AGED

    This old-world ale was aged in oak Pineau Des Charentes barrels for five months. Pineau des Charentes is a vin de liqueur, which is fortified, unfermented grape must which features a grapey character. It comes from the same area as Cognac: the mild, oceanic Charente and Charente-Maritime regions north of Bordeaux. But rather than being distilled into brandy or fermented into wine, the grapes for Pineau des Charentes are pressed into grape juice, or must, and fortified with one-year-old Cognac eau-de-vie (the term for brandy that has not yet aged for the requisite number of years to be legally deemed “Cognac”) – read more about Pineau Des Charentes here.

    Sunshine and anything with fruit

    HISTORY

    Lambic is a style of beer brewed in the Pajottenland region of Belgium southwest of Brussels and in Brussels itself since the 13th century. Types of lambic beers include gueuze, kriek lambic and framboise. Lambic differs from most other beers in that it is fermented through exposure to wild yeasts and bacteria native to the Zenne valley, as opposed to exposure to carefully cultivated strains of brewer’s yeast. This process gives the beer its distinctive flavour: dry, vinous, and cidery, often with a tart aftertaste.

    Our Story
    How do you honour the place that anchors you as often as it moves you? What does it mean to love home? For us, it means drawing inspiration from its natural beauty, harvesting authentic local ingredients, and crafting them into a taste of home. Prairie Common is proudly brewed with Two-row, Crystal, and Munich malts from the prairies as wellas Chinook and Nugget hops from local producer Prairie Mountain Hops. Prairie Common isn’t one of our ‘latest’ releases, but it certainly is one of our greatest – we hope you enjoy this fresh batch.

    Profile
    This amber-coloured lager opens with toast, caramel, and pine aromas on the nose. Enjoy a harmonious, balanced blend of bready, malty notes and hop flavours with a smooth, bitter finish.

    Food Pairing
    Burgers, beef pies, pub food.

    Award-Winning
    At the heart of our mission is an ambition to make Manitoba proud, so we were honoured in 2021 when Prairie Common was awarded the silver medal in the Amber Lager category at the Canadian Brewing Awards.

Belgian blonde

A fresh batch of our Belgian beer for everyone.

  • ABV – 7%
    Temp – 7-9ºC
    Glass – Sommelier
    Vegan – Yes

    As our flagship, our Belgian Blonde is designed to capture the spirit of the Belgian brewing tradition and be enjoyed by everyone. Complex enough to be savoured and accessible enough to be shared.

    PROFILE

    If you haven’t already, find your favourite stemmed, tapered glass and seat yourself somewhere comfortable. We personally enjoy pairing this beer with a small group of loved ones under big, golden prairie skies. Pour this medium-bodied ale with confidence then pause as the aromas gather at the rim. Adorned with a pearly head, this beer pours a deep golden colour and is ready when the glass has a mild sweat – somewhere between 7-9ºC is ideal. At 7% ABV, our Belgian Blonde opens with stone fruit and nutty aromas on the nose followed by sweet malt, apricot, and grain flavours on the palette before resolving into a dry finish. We hope you enjoy. Santé!

    HISTORY

    Although the Belgian brewing tradition dates back to the middle ages, this style of beer is a recent development less than 100 years old. The Belgian Blonde was the response of Belgian brewers to the widespread popularity of lager which swept through much of Europe at the turn of the 18th century. It was designed to appeal to European lager and pilsner drinkers while retaining Belgian complexity.

lemondrop dry-hopped sour

Sourpusses rejoice! The generous amounts of Lemondrop hops we added to this fruity sour are giving off big lemonade vibes, floral notes, and citrus flavours.

  • The name truly says it all. Lemondrop offers a "unique lemon-citrus character with a pleasant aroma." The bright citrus and subtle herbaceous notes are perfect for sessionable beers. While ales tend to bring out her sweeter side, Lemondrop is delicate and refined enough for quality lagers.
