2.6 Crannóg Half Crown Mild Ale On tap at The Barley Merchant, pours a clear amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma is fairly neutral, with soft bready malt, not much else. Flavour is dry, with some English bready malt and toasted notes. Clean enough but totally uninteresting. Saturday, October 14, 2023 | |

3.4 Crannóg Auntie Fa On tap at St. Augustine’s, pours a dark brown with an amber tinge and a small beige head. Nose brings out lots of bready malt and some subdued caramel. Flavour has a lot of British-style bready malt, lots of caramel, and a bit of nuttiness. Rounded and balanced. Solid for the style. Also, Antifa can go to hell. Thursday, July 15, 2021 | |

3.4 Crannóg Auntie Fa On tap at St Augustine's in Vancouver. A dark brown beer with white head and a mild malty nutty nose. Equally so on the palate. A nice mild flavorful inoffensive brown ale. Antifa? Fuck Antifa! I view them with almost as much skepticism as I do white nationalism. They're both extremists, but what has that to do with beer and brewing, beyond marketing?

3.5 Crannóg Red Branch Organic Irish Ale Good muddy brown body and modest foam. Chewy sweet biscuit on the nose, slightly syrupy. Flavour is like a caramel mousse, really smooth and yet light with hints of biscuit and vague custard notes. Finish is mostly dry, okay carbonation. This one's enjoyable, rich and refreshing. Thursday, August 6, 2020 | |

3.7 Crannóg Insurrection IPA Very excellent dude foam and soft deep gold body, the aroma is bright sweet hops with lager notes maybe vague malts but who can be sure. Flavour is a very nice balance between sharp hop and deep biscuit malt; chewy, funky, deep and heavy though also very well balanced. It has nice oiliness and some sweet biscuity aftertaste. Quite good, a little simplistic but I can see how this would work exceptionally well for those relaxing on a patio chair, staring up at the sky, at the stars in the early August in Sorrento.

3.4 Crannóg Gael’s Blood / Wild Gael Growler purchase at the brewery, listed as "Wild Gael Potato Ale" these days. Pours with excellent foam and a deep reddish brown body, carbonation of small bubbles. Very faint malt and starch on the nose, though quite frankly not much of anything. Flavour is bright creamy molasses, biscuit notes, hazelnut. Mouthfeel is smooth but could be fuller for a beer like this. Still, it's quite nice. Monday, August 3, 2020 | |

3.4 Crannóg Mac Tir Has a very nice deep purple body, mostly clear, pretty much no foam sadly. The aroma is funky berry, chewy sweet blueberry and raspberry. Falvour is more good berry character, some vague malty grain notes if I'm correct; full mouthfeel, a little crispness, sugariness moderated by some grain character if I do believe. Tasted within 48 hours of this growler fill picked up from the arse end of Sorrento I'd say it's quite nice, not too flashy or amazing but does get the job done. Workmanlike. The goats on their farm should be proud. Sunday, August 2, 2020 | |

1.2 Crannóg Mac Tir Has a soft reddish colour. Smells like diacetyl though, slight tartness but yeah just overwhelming diacetyl. Saturday, August 31, 2019 | |

3.1 Crannóg Back Hand of God Stout Good roasted barley with some sweetness on the nose. Okay darker brown body with just a little head. Flavour is sharp roasted barley with spicy coffee notes. Dry finish. Quite nice, good memorable things going on. Friday, November 16, 2018 | |

2.1 Crannóg The Great Liberator On tap at 12 Kings, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small white head. Nose isn’t very pleasant, with some toasted rye and grainy notes. Flavour is rather stale tasting, with baked rye bready that is rather old. Not many redeeming qualities. Finished a bit tart. Poor. Thursday, October 18, 2018 | |

3.3 Crannóg Red Branch Organic Irish Ale Pours a copper colour with a slight head and lace. The taste is of roasted caramel, nuttiness, smokiness and dark fruit. A great session beer. Tuesday, June 27, 2017 | |

3.8 Crannóg Back Hand of God Stout Pours dark with very little head and no lacing. The taste is of burnt coffee, smoke, toasted malt and light chocolate. A little thinner than most, but that’s great if you’re not having a sipping night. This brewery is ultra rare, and is 100% environmentally sound. No waste as their website says. Well worth the journey to get some. Note: You can only get it in 2l growlers or bigger. Tuesday, June 27, 2017 | |

2.5 Crannóg Rory Is a Red Head On tap at St. Augustine’s, pours a cloudy opaque amber orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out spicy notes from the ginger, along with toasted bready malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with light spicy ginger upfront and a toasted bready malt backbone. Pretty thin and somewhat metallic. Uncohesive and uninteresting. Not overly pleasant. Wednesday, April 26, 2017 | |

3 Crannóg Rory Is a Red Head Reddish with a lot of haze. Medium head. Not much aroma. Ginger overlaid on a yeasty red ale...not so exciting and the yeastiness doesn’t really allow the ginger to show through. Sunday, April 23, 2017 | |

3.2 Crannóg Rory Is a Red Head Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver Cloudy light amber color with persistent creamy head. The aroma is mild, the mouthfeel is very smooth, sugary malts with a mild toffee character, correct bitterness, a bit herbaceous in the final. Some original traits here, not bad. Saturday, April 22, 2017 | |

3.1 Crannóg Red Branch Organic Irish Ale Draft - Some roast and toast. Jet Amber with a decent small white head. Toast and some light roast with a nice light finish. This is very much a shwartz beer. Thursday, March 30, 2017 | |

3.1 Crannóg Back Hand of God Stout Poured from the tap. Near black with beige head. Mix of milk and powdered chocolate with mild roast malt and coffee. Light texture, mildly bitter finish. Wednesday, November 30, 2016 | |

3.6 Crannóg The Other Hand Draft - Dark roast, cocoa and toffee. Key brown with a decent brown head. Lighter on the pallet than expected and much like the nose. Nice. Saturday, September 10, 2016 | |

2 Crannóg The Other Hand On cask at GCBF 2016, pours black with a reddish tinge and a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of the whiskey upfront, followed by dark fruitiness. Flavour is very cheap and artificial tasting, with muted whiskey notes. These infusions where the brewer dumps hard liquor into their beers are such jokes and never turn out well. Bad. Friday, September 9, 2016 | |

3.2 Crannóg Red Branch Organic Irish Ale Draft. Rich amber beer with a cream head. Light malt and light citrus aroma. Malt and light citrus flavor. Medium bodied. Malt and light citrus lingers. Tuesday, August 23, 2016 | |

2.4 Crannóg Strongbow’s Demise Braggot Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver Dark brown color, opaque, almost black. Smells like stale bread (and some ass, sewage water), tastes like soaked dark bread, no malt quality, no Mead either, and I guess they didn’t use hops; it has a small residual sweetness. You can drink this liquid, bit you are not looking for it. It’s not a pleasant drink, what was the purpose? Sunday, July 10, 2016 | |

2.8 Crannóg Strongbow’s Demise Braggot On tap at St. Augustine’s, pours a deep dark reddish mahogany / near black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out medium sweet honey, some dark fruits and caramel. Flavour is very dry for a braggot, with dried dark fruits, toasted caramel and light brown sugar. Simple and pleasant, but lacking in body and complexity. Okay. Saturday, July 9, 2016 | |

3.4 Crannóg Hand Truck Porter Un bon porter classique. Plus de carbonation que les autres bières de Crannog, mais pas beaucoup pour le style. Noir sombre avec une bonne robe marron. L’arôme du chocolat et café. En bouche il y a du chocolat et café, un très petit peu de mélisse, très peu sucré, et une bone amertume pour le tout l’équilibré. Friday, June 10, 2016 | |

3.8 Crannóg Insurrection IPA Jaune brumeux avec une petite robe blanche avec bonne retention. L’arôme des agrumes mais surtout les épices. En bouche il y a plein du corps avec bas carbonation pour le style. Plein de malt, et une très bonne amertume pour être 65 IBU. Très bien brassé, avec plein de malt (et corps) mais très peu de sucre résiduel. Très buvable et surtout unique pour le style et région. J’achèterais ça souvent si c’était disponible en Vancouver!

3.4 Crannóg Gael’s Blood / Wild Gael Jaune/blanche brumeux avec une moyenne robe blanche. L’arôme du malt et d’épices terreux. En bouche il y a plein du corps, du malt terreux, des noix, et une amertume léger mais qui reste sur la palate. Friday, June 10, 2016 | |

4 Crannóg Back Hand of God Stout En fût à la brasserie. D’abord, je suis étonné que cette bière reçoit des scores tellement bas. C’est une de les meilleurs stout que j’ai jamais bu. Peut-être j’ai eu de la chance et que j’ai tombé sur un lot spéciale. L’arôme est comme un stout impériale. Plein du malt torréfié, avec du chocolat et café. L’arôme est tellement forte et complexe que je dirais que c’est même épais. En bouche il y a plein du corps, mais ce n’est pas lourde comme un stout impériale. D’abord il y a du chocolat et café, un peu sucré, puis un amertume léger qui l’équilibre juste assez pour que ça soit buvable. Les saveurs sont très prononcés et complémentaire. Si j’ai un avis ça sera que une finition un peu plus amer l’équilibrera mieux la palate un peu sucré. Wednesday, June 8, 2016 | |

2.7 Crannóg The Rising ESB Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver Hazy dark amber color with compact head. The aroma is a bit yeasty. Good body strength, it has a light amount of residual sugars, strong caramel flavor, but also the bitterness is a bit unpleasant, vegetable. Not so good. Tuesday, April 26, 2016 | |

3.1 Crannóg The Rising ESB On tap at St. Augustine’s, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of piney hops and some nice tropical fruity notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops, tropical fruits and caramel malts. Rather floral on the finish. Decent. Tuesday, April 26, 2016 | |

2.6 Crannóg Gael’s Blood / Wild Gael On tap at Darby’s, pours a deep dark mahogany with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out bready notes, some holiday spices and subtle dark fruitiness. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of holiday spices, especially nutmeg, along with subdued dark fruits and bready malt. Not my thing at all, but the balance and construction is decent. A little high on the carbonation. Meh. Friday, April 15, 2016 | |

2 Crannóg Wobbly Toddler Red Milk Ale On tap at St. Augustine’s, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma seems to have a diacetyl problem, along with lactose. Flavour is seriously skunked, not sure exactly what is wrong here, but it’s tart and tart chemically, with subdued lactose sweetness. Something way off here. Saturday, April 2, 2016 | |

2.3 Crannóg Village Idiot Draught at Darby’s Pub, Vancouver Cloudy blond color, small head. The aroma is delicate, herbal (heather, thyme), a bit footy. It has some bread flavor, very light herbs, maybe butter, and no bitterness whatsoever. Very weak final. Not knowing anything about it, I’d guess this is a hop-less beer. Uninteresting. Wednesday, March 23, 2016 | |

2.9 Crannóg Back Burner Organic Espresso Stout On tap. Pours black with moderate tan head. Aromas of fresh pressed coffee. Flavors of watery coffee grounds. Needs a bigger base for the coffee. Sunday, January 17, 2016 | |

2.8 Crannóg Red Branch Organic Irish Ale very malty some wood and dried strawberries but generally pretty boring, even for a red ale Thursday, January 7, 2016 | |

2.5 Crannóg Pictish Pride Scottish Ale Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver Hazy dark amber color, compact head. In short this is a light and weak Ale, with a mild but decent smoke character, and unfortunately a fundamental evidence of paint; also, freshly cut tree sap, light biscuits, very low bitterness. Weird and unpleasant. Sunday, April 5, 2015 | |
