Project Description
Want to drink award-winning beer?
We’ve got that on tap.
Small-batch, hand-crafted ales & lagers brewed in the heart of Nelson on Baker Street
Our multi-award winning brewmaster and co-owner, Mike Kelly, believes in making beer that adheres to traditional styles, ingredients and principles. High quality and consistency are hallmarks of his 20+ year career in commercial brewing. Our beers are always changing as we rotate offerings representing the world over, including lesser-known and forgotten beer styles.
If that’s not your thing, we also keep a consistent core of more recognizable styles — all brewed with Mike’s attention to detail.

Hippie Katcher Kolsch

A crisp, light beer that goes down easy after a long day at the office or out in the woods.

Ambree Biere de Garde
Our take on this unique style features predominant plum and raisin notes with hints of black cherry and oak. Aged in Pinot Noir barrels, the smooth, subtly sweet body is complimented by a crisp and delicately tart finish.
