Cream Ale

Codename : Mountain Portage Cream Alethorpe For those who remember a bygone era of Kakabeka Cream Ale, this is not an attempt to emulate it, but rather pay hommage to the name by brewing a cream ale here at the Mountain Portage. Ingredients 1 lb 10 oz Golden Promise pale malt (2.4L) 2 oz white sugar 0.1 oz Sasquatch hops at...

British Golden Ale

Codename : Mountain Portage Mosquito Swarm Alethorpe I first brewed an iteration of this beer a year ago as Golden Slumbers, it was my intent call it the 2023 variation, until I was eaten alive by mosquitoes while brewing, so on the fly, this one was renamed. I recently acquired Sasquatch hops, it seemed fitting to use them while in...

American Pale Ale

Codename : Westfort Toasted Alethorpe I think I was watching videos of comedian Paul Taylor when I saw him go into a brewery that made beer with bread. So, this is my attempt at brewing with bread as an adjunct. Spoiler alert, the initial view of the bread soaking in the mash was kind of gross.

Bière de Garde

Codename : Westfort Bière Outrageant During my research into European beer styles, I discovered one called “Bière de Garde”, originating from northern France. It is translated to a beer for keeping. Brew in the spring, enjoy in the summer. Perfect. It is similar to a Belgian style, I tend to like Belgians, so this was added to the list to...

English Barleywine

Codename : Westfort Pig Dog Barleywinethorpe Pilot This was my week for trying pilot batches, so I ventured into an English Barleywine. I have already had success with Imperial Stouts at 10%, so I decided to try something new. I had found in the past that barleywines were a little too sweet for my taste, ergo the scaled down version,...

Imperial Stout

Codename : Westfort Fluffy Cow Imperial Stouthorpe Pilot Having had good success with other Imperial Stouts, I decided to elevate my game, and try a bourbon stout, using oak chips and bourbon. In this case, I acquired a bottle of Buffalo Trace, to kick things up. Ergo the clever name 🙂 As there is an increased cost of resources to...

Rye IPA

Codename : Westfort Ryetirement IPA When a friend asked me if I was going to do a special batch of beer for my retirement, I was inspired to do a series of beers. All of which will rely heavily on rye malt, paving the way for the “clever” naming scheme. As I was researching IPA styles in the last year,...

British Brown Ale

Codename : Westfort Old Brown Shoe Redemption My previous attempt at this was a brew fail. I didn’t get the sugar to alcohol conversion I was looking for, and cheated by adding brown sugar. This is yet another one in my redemption series. Just to prove I can do it right! The name is inspired, once again, by the great...
