Prairie Pirate: Black IPA

Under the cover of darkness, the plundering Prairie Pirate hoists his sails and sets course across the calm waters of a moon lit bay in search of a fabled home brew recipe.

Locals tell stories of a legendary Black IPA as dark as the night that has been created by a home brewer known as Moonlight Bay Brewing.

The Pirate will stop at nothing to get his hands on that recipe! It would seem no one is safe from the wrath of the Prairie Pirate!

Tasting Notes:

This Black IPA pours a deep dark black colour with little to no roasted or burnt flavours from the base malts. It has been dry hopped with a blend of classic Northwest hops giving the beer a balanced medium bitterness. Hop flavours of mixed citrus and pine resin work well with the complex malt bill to give this IPA a nice rounded dry finish.

Prairie Pirate: Gose

Just when the good people of Alberta thought the Pirate was a distant memory, he strikes again!

To make a beer as salty and sour as he is, the Pirate spies an unsuspecting delivery truck from The Old School Cheesery on a quiet prairie road.
Inside, he knows he will find the crucial ingredient to bring out the sour tartness he needs to brew
the refreshing Gose he desires.

Kettle soured with a lacto culture from The Old School Cheesery.

Tasting Notes:

Dry and Tart Kettle Sour. Pink Himalayan Sea Salt and Coriander give the beer a touch of mouthfeel and a refreshing light citrusy character.

Prairie Pirate: Rauchbier

Not even the harsh Alberta winter could keep the Prairie Pirate in hiding.  He has emerged from his Edgerton hideout in search of the finest malts to concoct the latest brew he desires.  On his trusted steed he wandered the cold, snowy land until he eyed his next mark.  The Pirate has plundered a bounty of Kananaskis malt from the scurvy dogs at Red Shed Malting to create a deep, malty, complex rauchbier!  The smokey flavour and chestnut colouring will warm even the Pirate’s cold, dark heart.

Prairie Pirate: Double IPA

You know the story, now we are introducing you to the beer. Introducing: Prairie Pirate Double IPA! The Pirate “obtained” some of the tastiest hops from the scoundrels at Last Best Brewing and Distilling and used them to create a ridiculously easy drinking 8.8% Double IPA the likes the prairies has never seen! Citrus aromas and bold hoppy flavours are bursting with every swig of this villainous brew.

If the legends are true, keep a wary eye to the horizon as no one knows where the Prairie Pirate will strike next!
