It'sa Hoppy Tuesday
Well it's Hoppy Tuesday again folks! At the taps this week we've pulled out an aged keg of our Orange Sunshine and it's tasting fabulous. For those that haven't had it, it's a Saison, a French style farmhouse ale brewed with the Citra hop cultivar and Curacao orange peel.
We also have our new India Black Ale - Ink'd on tap tonight so come on down.
Sadly, Lupulin Rush is SOLD OUT, GONZO!

Ink'd - IBA
Born on Dec 4th 2010
Our latest beer to hit the taps at the brewpub is Ink'd - an India Black Ale - or for those that prefer the Black IPA designation, here it is, the Maritimes first real Black IPA. It's hoppy as all get-out with a big ol' malt backbone keeping it nicely balanced, there are some interesting caramel and mocha-like notes hinting of its darkside.
Interesting read on the creation of this new style at this link.

High astringency and high degree of burnt roast malt character should be absent. Fruity, floral and herbal character from hops of all origins may contribute to aroma and flavor.
