The Spindrift Brewing Company is now called The Burnside Brewing Company
Established in Dartmouth’s Burnside Park in 2015, and immediately starting out with one single core beer, the Coastal Amber Lager. Spindrift, now Burnside Brewing, made waves throughout the province and quickly started producing a wide range of lagers, then followed with an impressive selection of barrel aged beers, and hoppy ales. All these years later, you’ll find them still focusing on a core lineup of award winning lagers, some under the side brand; Toller, as well as fruited sours, IPA’s, and thick stouts.
Tasting Notes
Warning! This beer tastes like vacation. A medium bodied pale lager brewed with coconut and dry-hopped with Sabro, Nectaron, and Bru-1 to give an unmistakably tropical vibe of pineapple and citrus. Serving suggestion? Poured in a coconut cup with a paper umbrella and Kokomo planing in the background.
Method
This is a sub-style of lager that has changed over the years from its humble German roots to become the most popular style of beer in the world. Brewed with only pale malt for delicate malt flavours, and subtly balanced with European hop varieties that offer herbal, floral, and some spice character.
Burnside took this style and gave it a spin with added coconut and tropical hops!
