Sun God

Sun God Wheat Ale

R&B’s Sun God Wheat Ale is a North American style Kristal Weizen (a filtered wheat ale) producing a crisp, clear and refreshing beer. Significantly cleaner tasting than your typical Hefeweizen (unfiltered wheat ale), Sun God is a light-bodied wheat ale made with the highest quality Canadian wheat and 2-Row malted barley and is bittered and finished with premium German Perle hops producing a delicate cereal flavour with a hint of wheat. The perfect patio beer with or without some added citrus.

Red Devil

Red Devil Pale Ale

R&B’s Red Devil Pale Ale is an English-style pale ale with a coppery red hue. Not to be confused with typical red and amber ales, Red Devil is crafted with the palate and bouquet in mind. A mix of 2-Row and C-75 malts are accentuated by the addition of Crystal, Fuggles, and Whitbread Goldings hops at three different stages in the brewing process. In keeping with English tradition, this little devil has a hoppy floral aroma and malty sweetness, which are followed by a slightly dry and very refreshing finish. The perfect companion to a game of footy down at the local pub.

Hoppelganger IPA

Hoppelganger IPA

R&B’s Hoppelganger IPA is a Northwest style India Pale Ale, created for the true beer connoisseur. An assertive blend of Crystal, Columbus, Chinook, Mt. Hood, and Cascade Hops, is added to premium English, French-Belgian, and Canadian malts to create a fresh floral aroma and generous malt flavour, so emblematic of true Northwest-style I.P.A.s. Hoppelganger’s clean and slightly sweet finish is followed by an aggressive hop bitterness. At 45 IBU’s, this beer is definitely…NOT FOR THE FAINT OF TONGUE!!!

Bohemian Lager

Bohemian Lager

R&B’s Bohemian Lager is a medium bodied beer with a golden colour and spicy aroma. Blending Caramel Pilsen malts with 2-Row and Pale Ale malts, this European-style pilsner is modestly hopped with Perle, Czech Saaz, and Mt. Hood hops, giving it a slight North American essence. We culture only the finest California-style lager yeast and ferment at a slightly lower temperature to create a snappy hop flavour with a clean, dry finish. Finally, a real lager for the beer nerd in all of us!
(24 IBU, 5.0% alc/vol)

Dark Star

Dark Star Oatmeal Stout

R&B’s Dark Star Oatmeal Stout boasts a distinct roasted coffee flavour and cappuccino coloured head, and is completed with a complex chocolatey, malty bitterness. Dark Star is without a doubt our darkest beer, but its relatively high effervescence makes it surprisingly refreshing for a stout. Unquestionably our most involved malt blend, this dark and complex stout is brewed in memory of our late friend and employee, Jamie Kelly.
