OUR BEERS - Availability varies

FLAGSHIP: “JAMES BLONDE 00709” (YEAR ROUND GOLD WINNER - 2023 CANADIAN BREWING AWARDS)

ABV = 5%

STYLE = Blonde Ale


GOLD MEDAL WINNER - 2023 CANADIAN BREWING AWARDS!!!!


With an appearance and color we describe as antique gold, you soon taste the roundness and clean aftertaste but without that big beer tang.  We carefully dialed the fermentation temps on this one, to bring you a fresh, and not much in the way of bitterness.  Its attractive, bright and refreshing.  Clean and balanced with a beautiful rocky head, the bitterness is quick, and vanishes with no aftertaste.  Unlike your typical lager, this Ale opens up your interest in local craft beer.  Hops here take a subtle showing, built on several noble hops with a tiny flare of a surprise aroma addition.  We are showcasing the UK, Canadian and German malts.


Pairs very well with Shed or Kitchen Parties!

FLAGSHIP: “RED VINYL” (YEAR ROUND - SILVER WINNER - 2023 and 2022 CANADIAN BREWING AWARDS)

ABV = 5%

STYLE = IRISH RED Ale


SILVER MEDAL WINNER - 2023 & 2022 CANADIAN BREWING AWARDS!!!!


Newfoundland's favourite Red Ale.  Distributed Island Wide for a reason.  Available year round in the taproom.  Canada voted twice, and Newfoundlanders love our Red Vinyl.

“THE GREAT AUK” (SEASONAL - BRONZE WINNER - 2023 CANADIAN BREWING AWARDS)

ABV = 10%

STYLE = TRIPLE IPA


BRONZE MEDAL WINNER - 2023 CANADIAN BREWING AWARDS!!!!


THE GREAT AUK IS RESURRECTED.  TRIPLE IPA.  HOPPY.  WARMING.  DELICIOUS.

FLAGSHIP: "HARD CASE IN YOUR FACE" - DIPA (SEASONAL)

ABV = 7%

STYLE = DOUBLE IPA


We crafted this beer for one reason.  WE LOVE IPA’s.  Its big and bold like a winter storm. We call it the Adult version of a Juice Pack.  We wanted to bring modern beer to our audience that is aromatic, lazy and hazy like your first trip off the Rock to a tropical destination.  Loaded with late addition hops and we can’t help but set the stage here with this DIPA, the hops are in your face.  


Pairs very well with anything grilled or with your hard case buddy!

"OPEN LIME" - (YEAR ROUND)

ABV = 4%

STYLE = BLONDE with LIME


Inspired from out Gold Medal James Blonde 00709, we brewed a lighter version at 4% and added a balanced amount of fresh lime zest.  Our new headliner at the taproom.

"COVE PREMIUM LAGER" - (YEAR ROUND)

ABV = 4%

STYLE = LIGHT PREMIUM LAGER


Our Flagship Lager.  Served year round at the taproom.  Available for distribution.  Crisp.  Clean.  Crushable.

"A NIGHT AT THE RASPBERRY" - RASPBERRY SOUR

***  SEASONAL FRUITED SOUR!  WILD RASPBERRIES WITH A HINT OF TARTNESS.  AVAILABLE AS LONG AS WE CAN GET OUR HANDS ON WILD NL RASPBERRIES. 


*** AVAILABLE IN CANS WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! 




"COME HOME BEER" - APRICOT WHEAT (SEASONAL)

ABV = 5%

STYLE:  APRICOT WHEAT ALE


When any Newfoundlander is vacationing it’s a simple and fair question to ask: “When did you get home?” Home. Is. Newfoundland.
Our Apricot Wheat Ale celebrates being home, back on the island. For us, it’s more of a personal thing and tribute to growing up and having our grandmother cooking apricots on the back of the stove. She loved her apricot jam! Let’s say hello to our summer seasonal ale we titled, “Come Home Beer” 


Pairs very well with homemade bread right out of the oven smothered in summer.

"CHIN MUSIC" - APA (YEAR ROUND)

ABV = 5.2%

STYLE = AMERICAN PALE ALE


During earlier times in Newfoundland, not owning an instrument was no reason not to celebrate & rejoice.  Story tellers would say, if a group of mummers did not have an instrument with them, the host for that night would sing “chin music” which is a mnemonic rhyme that mimics an accordion or fiddle tunes, so that during celebration we could dance.  This beer is music to your chin.  It is juicy, with huge tropical aromas, undeniable balance, yet smashingly slammable.  If a blonde married an IPA, this is their brew child.  Categorized as an American Pale Ale clocking in at 5.2% ABV, you soon realize that once you have a sip of Chin Music, you will want to lift your chin to ask for another.  


Pairs very well with anything related to summer!

“THE PORT AU PORTER” - ROBUST PORTER (SOLD OUT)

ABV = 6%

STYLE:  ROBUST PORTER


With an appearance and color we describe as a chocolate lovers paradise, the soft mouth feel, combined with the complex and rich German grain bill provides the perfect roasted character reminiscent of chocolate and coffee.  With a firm but med low  hop bitterness, this Porter strikes balance between the residual sweetness and the carefully selected highly kilned specialty grains.  Who doesn’t love freshly baked homemade chocolate cake, just like your grandmother made? 


Pairs very well with soft vanilla ice cream, and homemade chocolate cake !

FLAGSHIP: "MALT WATER JOYS" - BROWN ALE

ABV = 5%

STYLE = TRADITIONAL BROWN ALE


Clean and balanced with a pleasant biscuit-like background, a slight toffee flavor hidden behind a well rounded balance of caramel and a subtle hint of chocolate.  Hops here take a back burner approach.  We are showcasing the UK malts.


Pairs very well with a Newfoundland Caramel Log.

"THE NEWFIE BULLET" - LAGERED ALE

ABV = 4.5%

STYLE = LAGERED ALE / KOLSCH


Clean and balanced crisp with a light ester profile is very crushable.  Pairs well with lighter fair and fresh fish and street fries.


"OAT TO NFLD" - AMERICAN OAT PALE ALE (YEAR ROUND)

Style: Devoted Pale Ale
ABV = 4.9%

Akin to Newfoundland’s official anthem where traditionally the first and last verses are sung, this Hoppy and Devoted Pale Oat Ale is delicious from the first sip to the last.
Featuring a signature smooth and silky mouthfeel, this orange delight is triple dry hopped with Classic American hops which playfully represent this very attractive summer ale. 


Pairs very well with patios, chips, beach fires, and random acts of silence.
