The People

Behind the beer

Winnipeg artisan brewery inspired by traditional abbey styles.

Beers

Belgian Blonde

Year-Round

Belgian Blonde Ale

ABV7.0%

Named for the ketch that sailed into Hudson Bay in 1668 and led to the founding of the Hudson's Bay Company. A Winnipeg brewery committing to Belgian styles is its own kind of stubbornness.
