Lunch Break Peanut Butter Stout

Stout - Other Mid-winter is here, and we've enjoyed all the delicious, heavy dark brews that are released, but we need a little break. Our Lunch Break Stout is light and approachable with a mild peanut butter nose and flavour. Weighing in at 4.5%, this is an easy brew for a relaxing afternoon or even on a lunch break... but you might want to check with the boss first.

Extra Terrestrial Bitter

Bitter - Extra Special / Strong (ESB) Haven't you always wanted to explore the universe? While we wait for interstellar transport, give your taste buds the gift of the Extra-Terrestrial with this inaugural brew from 948 Brewing Company. With a mild sweetness and a hint of bitterness, this ESB is out of this world. Balanced and refreshing. Piney floral nose. Medium Malt body. Mild to medium sweet on the palate which transitions to a medium bitter hop finish.

Patio Krusher

Kölsch Your taste buds go flying! A refreshing flury of Pilsner Malt and fruity aromatics. This easy drinking German style ale will grab hold of your senses and cool your palate. Patios everywhere beware, the Krusher can be enjoyed long after the sun goes down.

California Sunburn

Spiced / Herbed Beer Sit back and relax, you'll be tempted by the blonde colour and a hint of spice on the nose. On your first sip your mind wanders, did you forget something? As the heat starts to build you realize you should have packed sunscreen for this trip. Not uncomfortable and yet unforgettable... Jalapeno. The heat begins to fade, that California Sunburn is going to keep you coming back every time.

Lord Grey's Stout

Stout - English You don't have to be a member of the peerage to enjoy Lord Grey's Stout. Let the soft taste walk with you along the cobblestones of London as you enter the public house, join a game of darts, and hold on to that pint. We've added a hefty dose of the house blend Earl Grey tea from Sorso Espresso & Wine Bar to add to the aromatics and flavour in this dark brew. Guaranteed not to get you lost in the fog.

Choconut

Porter - Other A bounty of coconut aromas mix with chocolate malts in a mound of dark, easy drinking brew. Almond Joy is difficult to use as a descriptor. If there were other coconut candy bars we could think of while writing this we would have mentioned those too. Watch for this delectable brew at a growler bar near you!

Oh Bee-Hive

Honey Beer You'll be swarming to the brewery to get your hands on this refreshing and light brew. It really is un-bee-leavable. Honeycomb sweetness that finishes dry. Oh Bee-Hive!

Come What May

IPA - American This is Chris, Chris loves IPAs. At 948, well, we love Chris. We've been fortunate to have him as a part of our team for 8 months and he's a heck of a brewer. Chris likes big hoppy IPAs and this one is no exception. Amber malt sweet with a colour to match, it finishes with a big bitter hop flavour. If you're like Chris and like your brews hoppy, then get down to the taproom and grab yourself a pint. Cans and growler fills available as well.

It Came In the Night

Grant Me One Wish

IPA - Rye This rye IPA grants your palate a smooth rye spice that balances the medium hop finish. The rye carries through the aroma and hides the hop bitterness from your senses. If you wouldn't normally approach an IPA, the time is now. This brew is sure to whisk you away on a magic carpet of flavour to a whole new world.

Common Decency

California Common Sometimes we all need a helping hand. When two homebrewers in need reached out to the beer community, the community delivered, literally, shipping yeast across the country they couldn't find locally. This beer's roasty nose and deliciously crisp California Common style was crafted by common decency. This brew blends refreshing lager yeast with a malty backbone. They proudly shared their recipe with us for this commercial release so we could share it with you all.

Babs' Brewhouse Blonde

My Kilt's Wrecked

Scottish Ale A cheeky little brew. My Kilt's Wrecked will have your palate pulling flavours of caramel and tobacco. Under the kilt, there's a fling of mild hops and a finish as smooth as, well, you'll see. Named for our friend Robin, we dedicate this brew to all the teachers out there.

Unusual Uses For Whipped Cream

Sour - Fruited There was a team back in the day, an extraordinary team of musical men and women. We'd gather once a week to defend our title. We'd dance and sing and win a bar tab or two. Each of us were unique but when you brought us together we could do great things. This brew is no different. We're bringing together peach, blackberry, a few spices and then souring it all. Get ready for another round of excitement as we present our Blackberry Peach Cobbler Sour!
