The Brew House

Brew House


The Brew House Kit is an entirely new concept in homebrewing.  Until now, most homemade beer has been made with concentrated malt extract syrup.  The Brew House Kit produces all-grain microbrew style beer with the convenience of a kit.  Brewed from fresh grain and hops, it is pure all-grain wort, made the same way as commercial microbrewed beers.  Gentle handling preserves the delicate aromas and flavours.  Crisp Pilsner, rich pale ale, malty Munich dark lager, full flavoured cream ale, luscious stout and even an incredibly light North American lager all show brilliant character.

Fresh grains make fresh beer: The Brew House Kit is made from 100% grain.  The grains are cracked just before brewing and gently steeped in water at our custom designed German-style brew house.  After the sweet wort is drawn off, it's carefully boiled with generous amounts of hops.  Then, without adding water or concentrate, we aseptically package it for maximum flavour and aroma.  With our technology, we have total control over every step of the brewing process; we can even do Czech-style decoction mashing, the most technically demanding brewing in the world.

Our styles are the real microbrew-style McCoy.  Sweated over by two certified beer judges - both experienced prize-winning homebrewers - and a German Quality Control scientist, these kits are as close to the described style as possible.  They conform to the definitions laid out by the authorities: namely Michael Jackson and the American Homebrewers Association.

Types of The Brew House

Oktoberfest

Seasonal. 

Historically brewed in spring and stored in cool caves over the summer, this golden and copper-coloured beer reaches its peak of flavour just in time for the fall festival.  Brewhouse Oktoberfest is so complex and balanced that the overall character can only be achieved through the use of the highest quality ingredients.  Only the finest Munich and Crystal malts are used and countered with the best noble Hallertauer hops (for both aroma and bitterness).  Balance and complexity are the ultimate goal of Oktoberfest brewing.

Winterfest

Seasonal. 

Deep amber to copper in colour with a big hearted body, our latest seasonal beer is sure to add cheer to your Holiday season.  Hop bitterness is apparent, but not aggressive.  This beer boasts of fruity, estery flavours and will continue to develop and mature with aging (if bottle conditioned).  Complimenting the hop character is a touch of spiciness from cinnamon and nutmeg.  The spice level is moderate, but we encourage you to add spices, herbs or sugars to your personal taste.

Prairie Wheat

Brew House "Prairie Wheat" is a light, summer thirst quencher filled with the distinctive, refreshing flavour of malted wheat.  A Canadian version of the classic German wheat beers, it leans towards the "clean and crisp".  Prairie Wheat will produce a light-bodied, clean brew, with a subtle hop character with a subtle aroma.

India Pale Ale

India Pale Ale was developed in England during their colonization of India.  The civilians and soldiers living there had no access to beer of their own, as tempertaures on the sub continent were constantly too warm for brewing.  Attempts at shipping beer from England( usually the new 'Pale' ales that were becoming so popular) were foiled by the rocking of the waves and the high temperatures in the ships hulls, which spoiled the beer long before it reached its destination.

Back in London, a brewer named George Hodgson began brewing beer for export to India.  The beer was brewed with a higher alcohol level, and higher hopping rates to preserve the beer on its journey.  The beer was a success in India, and "IPA" as it came to be known, caught on in England as well and a new beer style was born! Our India Pale Ale has a copper/golden colour with a slightly higher starting gravity and hop rates than our regular Pale Ale with medium aroma hops.

American Premium Lager

A relative newcomer, lager became common in the 19th century.  Now it's the most popular beer around.  Our take on this favourite is a refreshing, straw-coloured lager with a subtle aroma.
