Our Beer Wonderfully Crafted

Pale Ale

Years ago, the battle against big beer began with well hopped, North West style pale ales. This beer is still out there, fighting the good fight. Powered by a hefty dose of classic ‘C’ hops, the grapefruit citrus, floral lemon, and bright pine are backed up by just enough malt to keep it drinkable and balanced. It’s undeniably classic and decades later remains a go to style for millions of craft fans.

Pilsner

There is nothing more satisfying than an expertly crafted pilsner. The convergence of light bready malt, continental noble hops, and subtle yet expressive yeast transform four simple ingredients into something truly remarkable. With so little to hide behind, the quality of the raw materials and the technique of the brewer are front and center in this beer. The simplicity of the final product belies its fastidious creation. Pilsner is versatile; it has enough oomph that it can be paired with a decadent meal, but its simple enough you can reach for one at the beach.

Lions Gate Lager

Craft brewing tends to overcomplicate things – often with delicious results. But in a world of triple dry hopping and lactose laden kettle sours, sometimes it’s nice to have something simple and straight forward. Our Lions Gate Lager is exactly that: uncomplicated. Made from premium PNW malt and European hops, it is fermented cold, and aged even colder. This one is sure to satisfy macro lovers and craft fans alike.

Flagship Hazy IPA

This award-winning hazy IPA was one of the first of its kind to be released in the BC market. Since then, the style has exploded and grown with a ferocity never seen in craft before. Across the country and back, the super fluctuations of these beers are a force to be reckoned with.

To keep up with the haze craze, the following changes have been made since its initial release: none. Why mess with a good thing? The hops are still big, tropical, and pungent. The malt is still a pillowy cloud of delicate sweetness. It’s a tried-and-true staple, our biggest brand, a perennial favourite, and worthy of the name Flagship.

Heroica Red Ale

When folks get off shift at Steamworks, more than any other beer, Heroica is the go-to. It’s the perfect balance of enticing hop character, drinkability, and malt – yeah, malt. Remember that ingredient? The red headed stepchild of brewing – and it comes out swinging in this beer. Biscuity sweetness, caramelized fruit, and the slightest hint of roast make for a compelling colour and an even more compelling pint. It’s a full flavoured ale that says “I’m Malty and I’m proud!”. Oh yeah, and there’s some nice hops in it.

Hazy Pale Ale

The haze isn’t just a craze, it’s here to stay…ze. This sessionable Hazy Pale is designed to show off the unique profile of several New Zealand hops. Big, bright flavours and aromas of lychee, gooseberry, Sauvignon Blanc, and stone fruit are backed up by a simple, multi-grain malt bill. It’s hazy, it’s pillowy, it’s delightfully fruity, and deliciously drinkable.

Kölsch Lagered Ale

Kölsch Lagered Ale is a simple beer made in a hybrid style: fermented like an ale and conditioned like a lager. Giving it a long, cold rest allows the flavours to meld and for it to mellow into a beautifully crisp beer. The light citrusy esters and fresh, bready character make it eminently drinkable. It may be the lightest beer in the Steamworks lineup, but it’s no slouch in the flavour department.

North By Northwest IPA

Remember when hoppy beers were clear? When a high number of IBUs was something to get excited about? This IPA sure does. This beer is a curmudgeon in all the right ways. Unabashedly classic with more dankness than fruitiness, more clarity than haze, and more IBUs than most. It fits perfectly in all the cliches: this is your dad’s IPA; 2010 called – it wants its beer back; it’s the old dog that absolutely refuses to learn any new tricks.

Nitro Stout

A cascading stout is one of the most mesmerizing things out there. The ripples of nitrogen flowing slowly up the dark liquid and condensing into a thick foam. It’s so nice that it’s almost a shame to drink it – almost. The creamy texture combined with the inviting roasty flavours make for a unique and compelling beer. When pouring, invert the can a couple times and then pour it hard, directly down into your favourite pint glass. For finer bubbles, keep the can as close to the rising liquid level as possible.

Black Angel IPA

Black IPA? Still? Really? Absolutely! This style is part of the foundation upon which the West Coast craft movement was built. It is everything those pale macro lagers aren’t: dark, strong, and hoppy as all get out.
This beer is a nostalgia bomb for when you didn’t have to think about craft, micro, macro-craft, craft collectives, or anything like that. It is the spirit of the rebellion against yellow fizz distilled down into a big, no holds barred hop bomb. Piney, resinous hops punch through the dark malt and give way to a crisp, toasty finish.

John Oliver Lager

Under Premier John Oliver’s leadership, Prohibition in British Columbia was repealed in 1921. To commemorate the man who helped responsibly bring liquor back to our province, Steamworks has created a commemorative lager. As Premier Oliver himself would say, “doff your broadcloth and don your overalls” and enjoy some fine John Oliver Lager. Cheers to another 100 years of beer in BC!

Tropical Tart Ale

When making a fruit beer there are two schools of thought: one says to lightly incorporate it and allow the base beer to shine through; the other says use so much fruit that the person drinking it might not realize it’s a beer. Tropical Tart is the latter. A simple wheat beer hopped with tropical heavyweights Citra and Galaxy is co-fermented with gobs of the super fruits pomegranate and passionfruit. The result is, technically, a delicious fruit beer, but let’s be honest – it’s basically juice. Easy drinking, summery as heck, and very food friendly, Tropical Tart is a fan favourite that we look forward to brewing every year.

Hula Haze Tropical IPA

A tropical adventure from first sip to last – all without having to leave the comfort of your favourite bar stool. Leveraging small amounts of real fruit to highlight the massive tropical hop bill, this fruit bomb of an IPA shines with pineapple, stone fruit, honeydew melon, and bright citrusy pine. The subtle malts are reminiscent of a delicately sweet, flakey pie crust. Hula Haze pours a hazy, light orange with a fluffy white head – like the clouds out of an airplane window. Sit back and relax, let it whisk you away on a tropical staycation.

Tiny Pale Ale

It is no secret that beer can be unfriendly to our waistlines. Even though we’re running out of notches on our belt, doesn’t mean we want to compromise on flavour. With bland seltzers and artificial tasting ‘Natural Flavours’ dominating the market, we decided to do what we do best: we made a beer. With some new brewing tricks and some delicious hand selected hops, we created a true session beer. Lower in alcohol and calories than normal pale ales, this beer still packs a big flavour punch of candied orange zest, grapefruit juice, and wafting cannabis. While it might be Tiny, it’s big where it counts.

Tango Dry-Hopped Sour

This beer take its inspiration from old world Berliner-style Weisse beers and the new world, east coast haze craze. The result is a delicious hybrid of a mouth wateringly tart ale and a juicy IPA. The sour character is lively and citrus forward, so we paired it with some of our favourite bright, fruity hop varieties. Tango is like an adult version of the purple five alive – tropical, juicy, and perfect for a hot day.

Killer Cucumber Ale

Well folks, we’ve done it. They said it couldn’t be done, but we did it. We’ve made something more refreshing than a cold beer: Killer Cucumber. This fan favourite is far more than the sum of its parts, the simplicity of the beer allows the cucumber flavour to shine through without taking over completely. It’s a tug of war on the tongue between crisp refreshing blonde ale and quenching, fresh cucumber. The balance of the two creates a uniquely satisfying sip that demands to be followed quickly by another.

Frambözen

From the beautiful, blushing colour to the alluring nose of jammy raspberries, this beer is doing its best to ill-prepare you for what’s to come. It’s a con artist, a strong ale masquerading as a delicate fruit beer. The perfect balance of caramel malts, subtle Belgian yeast profile, and copious amounts of raspberries create the illusion of safety and sessionability. It’s deceptively drinkable – don’t say we didn’t warn you. For the first time ever, this Steamworks classic is available in 473ml cans.

Yuzu Gose

Gose is the most thirst-quenching style of beer. Pairing that with the citrus powerhouse that is the Yuzu is a match made in heaven. The beer is a co-fermentation of a clean ale strain and a tart lactic acid bacteria which is then aged on yuzu juice and zest. The profile is rounded out by a generous addition of sea salt harvested on Vancouver Island. This beer is deftly balanced, with the tartness from the ferment accentuating the alluring citrus character and the sea salt brightening the whole experience even further.

This beer was designed without a specific style in mind. Instead, every ingredient was selected to invoke a tropical, sun drenched summer day. From the bold, fruit forward hop profile of Eclipse and Talus, to the measured additions of lime and cane sugar, this beer channels what Jimmy Buffet has spent his entire career trying to capture: paradise.

Piquette Rosé

Our piquette was made by re-soaking the pressed skins of Okanagan grown Viognier and Cabernet Franc. This process extracts the sugars and tannins left behind from the initial pressing of the grapes. We allowed it to ferment naturally in stainless and condition for 4 months on lees. It was bottled with honey from the Fraser Valley and a cultured m. reukaufii strain – a yeast known for enhancing aromatic properties in flower nectar. The result is an electric pink beverage that sits somewhere between a pet nat and a wine spritzer. Bright red fruits, pink lemonade, and hibiscus dominate the palate. It is a fun summer beverage that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
