Commercial Description:
We are proud to bring you fresh, hand-crafted beer made in small batches from the best malt and other natural ingredients for a fresh, honest taste. Our hometown, St. Thomas, Ontario is at the centre of Canada's industrial heartland. And with eight railroads and 100 trains a day earned the title "Railway City". St. Thomas still embodies a hardworking, optimistic, can do spirit, and we think you can taste this in our beer as well.

Growler- Pours a decidedly deep copper with a short lived beige froth. In the nose, pale malts meet chestnut and dark fruit with a hint of apple and floral hops. Tastes of sweet caramel malts and fig, with a subtle rye component and vanilla. Sweet, somewhat watery finish on this one. Not bad at all, but I think I prefer the Amber and the Blonde. That said, this is another solid daily drinker that I am proud to recommend and offer to my guests when they are at my place.
