Faculty 241 Minzeweizen

hefeweizen with mint

It's the return of our seasonal Minzeweizen to draught, and for the first time in cans! A hefeweizen, German for "white beer" is brewed with at least 50% malted wheat.

This classic Faculty recipe is not your average winter ale. This hazy wheat beer is infused with peppermint tea for a pleasantly refreshing and unique twist on a beloved beer style.

5.2% ABV | 9% IBU

Main St. Gale Force Old Ale

Gale Force is the 2022 BC Beer Award Gold Medal Award Winner in the Strong Ale & Lager category. Traditionally made from the first runnings of a mild recipe (in this case, Main St.'s Tunnerman’s Dark Mild Ale from 2020) Gale Force was built on a rich, almost barleywine-like base that underwent an extended boil to add to its depth of sweetness, and a secondary fermentation with a traditional English brettanomyces that imparted a subtle tropical fruit character without detracting from the array of English malts used in the brewing process.

9.4% ABV | 23 IBU

Ingredients: HOPS: Phoenix YEAST: Denny's 50 and historical British Brettanomyces (Brett Clauseneii) MALT BILL: Paul's Maris Otter, Skagit Valley Pilot Pale, Les Maltiers Munich Light and Weyermann's Chocolate Wheat

Main St. Garage Series Circa 1775 Sumac Rosewater Saison

Barrel-Aged Saison

Winner of the 2022 BC Beer Award for Specialty Wild Ale, this Circa 1775 Sumac and Rose Water Saison was built on a base of BC malted pilsner, raw and malted wheat, and a touch of English aromatic malt.

The blend was then conditioned on locally harvested Staghorn Sumac and Rose Water and bottle conditioned for a nice sparkling bubble in each sip.

6.4% ABV | 34 IBU

Ingredients: HOPS: Magnum, Hallertau Mittelfruh, Ella

YEAST: House culture

MALT BILL: BC malted pilsner, raw and malted wheat, English aromatic malt
