Brewed to commemorate the 2nd annual International Gruit Day, Church Key’s Namastale is a Finnish Sahti style. Gruit is an unhopped Ale that predates the use of hops in beer. Using instead spices and other botanicals. On the brew day , we lined the bottom of the mash tun with a basket weave of juniper boughs, then mashed Canadian Two row barley and our own heated well water, the aroma of pine filled the room. rosemary was added to the kettle to add depth to the spice. The result is piney with focaccia aromatics accenting the sweet two row malt.

Hop flavour is high, with an assertive hop bitterness. The hop aroma is similar to the flavour (floral, earthy, fruity, and slightly grassy). Malt flavour is medium-high, but pleasant, and supports the hop aspect. The malt shows an English character and is somewhat bready, biscuit-like, and caramelly. Despite the substantial hop character sufficient malt flavor, body and complexity support the hops providing high end balance. Read Less

Back by popular demand, this 7% beer was brewed with 350kg of locally sourced pumpkin that was put directly into the mash. The decision to smoke half of the pumpkin and roast the other half contributes to this beer’s delicate sweetness that is rounded with the dryness of high quality spices commonly used in your grandma’s pumpkin pie.

Buckwheat Beer
What business does a brewer from eastern Ontario have brewing a Quebec/Belgian style Sarrisin, it “would be as welcome as a dog in a bowling alley”, or so the Québécois saying goes.
We brewed it anyway.
Buckwheat, strictly speaking, is not a grain; the little three-sided groats, like miniature beechnuts, are the seeds of a plant in the knotweed family. Hulled and toasted, they are familiar to us as kasha, and are used very like other true grains. More than a quarter of the grist in this beer is kasha, which contributes an aromatic nuttiness and silky, oily textures. There is a small (12Kg) amount of lactose added that helps accentuate the already silky palate of the buckwheat, and the balance of the malt bill is made up of Canadian two-row and organic German wheat and caramel malts. The Sarrasin is lightly hopped using only whole leaf Zeus, and Goldings grown at the brewery. And a bag full of cascade given to us by one of our local regulars. The hop bitterness is low to leave room for the complex yet subtle grain effects. The 7% alc. is buried well with the lactose sweetness.
The colour is light gold with a slight veil. The palette delicate, should be served with lighter fare so as not to overwhelm. Tip of the hat to Bruno, who conjured up this idea while longing for a cold pint while stationed in Afghanistan. Read Less
