NEW BEER RELEASE

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS 🍍🍍

This is a fun one for sure!
Not only a new beer but a new concept for the Merchant Ale House brewery team.
We added cannabis terpenes from the Pineapple Express strain to add another element of taste and aroma to this Pineapple sour ale.

I think you can guess what it tastes and smells like, but this is really one you have to try for yourselves to see how well it really all works together.

Back in 1999 when the Merchant Ale house opened, you could count on one hand how many pumpkin ales were brewed in North America. Fast forward to the PSL craze of the last decade, pumpkin flavoured beers are a dime a dozen. 

Here, we have always held true to the original method. Roasting fresh pumpkins in house and adding them to the mash, converting the natural starch to sugar, providing the food necessary for the yeast to ferment. 

The Merchant Ale House Pumpkin Ale, historically nicknamed "the Headless Horsemen" or "It's the great pumpkin ale, Charlie Brown", has been released every fall since day one and has always been a labour of love for our brew team.

On tap now until sold out.
