Canadian Brewery # 3 – Stillwell Brewing Company

Our last brewery recommended by drinks writer Stephen Beaumont is in Halifax, Stillwell Brewing Company.

For my taster tray, I would select…

Stilly Pils – “Brewed with German malt and hops in the traditional method, Stilly Pils is our idea of a great everyday beer: fresh, foamy and moreish.”

Best Bitter – “Brewed with English malt and hops in the (almost) traditional method, Best Bitter is our take on England’s great pub ale. Highly sessionable and naturally conditioned.”

13° Czech-Style Dark Lager – “Brewed with Czech Ingredients and in the traditional method, our 13° Tmavý Ležák is our take on Czechia’s magical black beer. Na zdraví!”

Cream Ale – “Brewed in the traditional method as a true hybrid beer – American hops balancing a german grist – Cream Ale is a nostalgic and highly sessionable everyday beer,”

O’ Canada – Propeller Brewery

Our first north of the border brewery is from Halifax. Let me introduce Propeller Brewing.

Now let’s get down to the beers that interest me…..

ESB
“Our ESB is a rich, full-bodied English-style bitter, brewed with carefully selected malts and hops. This copper coloured, English styled ale is our best seller. Smooth, Full bodied and All Natural, like all our beers.”

Kristall Weizen
“Literally “crystal wheat.” A Kristall Weizen is a filtered pale Weissbier. It pours “crystal”-clear rather than yeast-hazey. Propeller Kristall Weizen is made with special Weizen yeast, German Noble hops and equal amounts of barley and wheat malts. Like its Hefeweizen counterpart, Kristall Weizen develops a richly-textured, firm, white head in the glass. Very light, spritzy-effervescent and refreshing on the palate, with creamy texture and gentle, lightly fruity character, it finishes with a touch of dryness. Propeller Kristall Weizen pairs well with summer heat and good times… Prost.”

What’s great about their site is the glassware and temperature recommendations as well as a “Prop’r Learning” section that educate people about not only their brewery but about beer in general.
