Our Brewmaster James Wilson creates well-made craft beers which are balanced and true to style – and if you ask us (and The World Beer Awards) he does just that! “I take great satisfaction in producing great beer for family, friends, and our customers to enjoy.” said Thornbury Village’s Brew Master, James Wilson. “Being named the top Pilsner in Canada is a huge honour, but to also be Best of Country Strong Beer & Strong Porter as well as win Gold for our Dam Dark Lager is beyond incredible. Receiving this recognition from the World Beer Awards is amazing and a testament to all the hard-work and dedication put forward by the entire brewing team.”

Pickup No.26 Pilsner (BEST OF COUNTRY): An authentic Czech-style pilsner brewed with Bohemian malts, Saaz hops and genuine Czech yeast. Pleasing malty flavours & a soft floral and spicy hop character make this a complex and well-balanced Bohemian Pilsner.
Doppelback (BEST OF COUNTRY: “STRONG BEER”): Strong maltiness with a presence of smooth alcohol warmth. Aroma is slightly nutty, with notes of coffee, molasses, and dried fruits. Roasty, full-bodied, slightly sweet yet quaffable.
Black Mountain Side Baltic Porter (BEST OF COUNTRY: “STRONG PORTER”): This robust porter is dark in colour with a hint of deep red. The complex malt aroma and flavour features notes of coffee, dark chocolate, toffee, roasted malt, jammy plum, and toasted pumpernickel. A fullbodied beer with a pleasant alcohol warmth. The Black Mountain Side finishes dry with a nice roasted malt bitterness.
Dam Dark Lager (CANADA GOLD: “DARK BEER”): An authentic Munich Style Dunkel that is deep mahogany in colour and refreshing. Malt-forward with subtle hop flavours & hints of nuts, toast and toffee. It boasts a palate of delicate roastiness with dark-chocolate flavours, finishing dry and crisp.
