Craft Beers

A rather well-known phrase during harvest is “it takes a lot of beer to make wine”, and indeed a cool, refreshing beer is often the beverage of choice for winemakers after a long, hot day of crushing grapes. But of course harvest is not the only time to enjoy a brew, and at Wine Country we are fortunate to be able to represent some of the finest hand crafted beers from throughout the world.

Our charge for beer tasting is $8. The current beer tasting lineup includes:

Hofbräu München Hefe Weisen, Germany
Münchner Weisse is a really special kind of beer. What could be more pleasurable than quenching your thirst with a deliciously yeasty Weissbier, and savouring the tingling, fizzy sensation in your mouth? With an alcoholic content of around 5.1% volume, it's pure, refreshing enjoyment.
$2.50 for 12oz

Schönramer Gold, Germany
Oktoberfest style beer; unfiltered so there's a slight haze to the golden color; an interesting balance of malt and hops.
$3.50 for 11.2oz

Duvel Golden Ale, Belgium
A golden ale that sets the standard for this class. Heavy and rich with 8.5% alcohol. This beer needs to be tasted to understand just how good it is.
$9.25 for 750ml

Telegraph Brewery California Ale, USA
Amber ale from a local brewery. Good malt notes and hopped finish. Similar to an English pale ale. Unfiltered.
$6.50 for 750ml

La Maudite, Canada
Smooth, full flavored and bottle-conditioned. Developed by the Brewmasters of Chimay, this ale will not let you down.
$8 for 750ml

Hobgoblin Dark English Ale, Britain
Strong in roasted malt with a moderate hoppy bitterness and slight fruity character that lasts through to the end. The ruby red coloured Hobgoblin is full-bodied and has a delicious chocolate toffee malt flavour balanced with a rounded moderate bitterness and an overall fruity character.
$4.25 for 500ml
