THORNBURY VILLAGE BLUE MOUNTAIN LAGER
A golden lager, inspired by the light of the morning sun rising over Georgian Bay striking the famous Blue Mountain behind our historic beverage production facility in Thornbury, Ontario. This special beer is brewed in the most popular and common beer style in Bavaria, the "Munch Helles". This style now a century old, is regarded by many as the absolute pinnacle of brewing science and art.
Easily distinguishable from a pilsner, Helles has a muted hop character and soft malty accent. Though slightly tilted towards the malt, this is a well balanced beer. It offers the spicy, herbal aroma of German hops at restrained levels, and enough bitter, This is sessionable craft beer designed to please a broad audience in all seasons.
