COLLECTIVE ARTS BEER CLUB BOX NO. 2
CABC EXCLUSIVE BEER NO. 2
This exclusive brew is an IPA which uses two of our favourite Southern hemisphere hops - Galaxy and Motueka. Once you crack open this beer, you will immediately notice a sweet aroma, notes of green melon, nectarine, fuzzy peaches and just a hint of mint. Sipping this brew, you will notice citrus flavors off the bat, lime and orange zest, topped off with subtle piney hints of conifer, with a rounded soft mouth feel.
DAILY FORECAST: MIMOSA SOUR
This is our take on a classic mimosa! With 30% unfermented, freshly pressed orange juice, blended with a slightly sour beer base - drink up this bubbly, effervescent beer that will remind you of your favourite brunch beverage! Daily Forecast is set to become a new Year Round staple for Collective Arts, but we wanted our Beer Club members to get first dibs!
IPA NO. 21: GUAVA MANGO MILKSHAKE IPA
IPA No. 21 is a twist of our super popular milkshake IPA's! We brewed this IPA with loads of juicy mango and guava, complemented with tropical hops and finished with lactose sugar and vanilla, to give that truly memorable sweet milkshake experience.
JAM UP PINEAPPLE & TANGERINE
Our latest variant on Jam Up The Mash is a tropical-fruit explosion of juicy tangerine and pineapple! This refreshing fruit combo pairs perfectly with our generous use of Vic Secret, Mosaic, and Citra hops.
BORDER CROSSING IPA (THIN MAN COLLAB)
Brewed with our friends from Thin Man Brewery (Buffalo, NY), this IPA is the perfect combination of Vic Secret, Simcoe and Cascade hops, giving this brew a delicious blend of juicy citrus and stone fruits, with a pleasant note of fresh pine.
GREY MATTER BALTIC PORTER
This Baltic Porter is an incredibly drinkable, medium-bodied beer with a nice dry finish. Brewed with buckwheat which adds a roasted nut flavour and Rosehip, which combined with Ariana hops, provided a red-berry like sweetness. After being Lagered for two months, this becomes is a super approachable and easy-drinking Baltic Porter.
SKIPPING STONES MEXICAN LAGER
Skipping Stones is a refreshing Mexican lager with a unique hop character from the combo of Saaz, one of the German noble hops, and Motueka, a citrus-forward hop from New Zealand. Clean and flavourful up front with a crisp, dry finish - it's exactly what you want from a crushable lager.
CONNECTIVE DOTS NEW ENGLAND DIPA
We are really Connecting Dots with this New England Style IPA! With tropical aromas of orange creamsicles, ripe mango, fuzzy peaches, pineapple and bright green papaya. Using Citra, Azacca, and Lotus hops - this brew is smooth and creamy, with hints of evergreen, orange gelato and kumquat marmalade (you heard us!). This IPA is truly a citrus bonanza. The perfect transition beer, from winter to spring.
ORIGIN OF DARKNESS: IMPERIAL STOUT W/ CHERRIES, VANILLA & CACAO (EQUILIBRIUM COLLAB)
Known for their amazing creations, we are thrilled to collaborate with Equilibrium from New York state - bringing you this Double Barrel-Aged monster! Together, we brewed a huge Imperial Stout, which we then aged in freshly emptied Bourbon Barrels to impart sweet oakiness and vanilla flavours. Then transferring the beer into Tawny Port casks to finish, which add fruity and nutty characteristics. We conditioned the stout on dark, sweet cherries, vanilla and cacao nibs to give the beer a black forest cake feel.
DRAGON FRUIT & KEY LIME WILD SOUR
This sour has been a long time in the making! A blend of barrel-aged mixed culture beer, aged anywhere from 8 months to 2 years, was then conditioned on red dragon fruit and key lime for months to allow the flavours to marry. Followed by being bottle conditioned for 3 months, reaching its full maturity. Pouring with a beautiful pink colour and high carbonation, this beer pops! Immediate notes of cola like spices, lime and subtle notes of juicy dragon fruit start you off. Drinking with big acid notes from the lime and golden sour base then leading into a sweetness with deep oak character. The low bitterness keeps this refreshing with a subtle warmth, a perfect balance found in the most unusual place.
BONUS BEV
LEMON SQUEEZY
We used all natural ingredients to craft a vibrant, refreshing lemonade that's bursting with citrusy goodness. Lemon-forward flavour combines with a slight tang on the pallet for an adult version of your classic summer go-to.
