Welcome! New beers posted Thursdays at noon. Online purchases here only with pick-ups at the brewery anytime Saturdays 10am-6pm or, with "Friday pick-up" note at checkout, on Fridays 3-6pm. Same day orders fulfilled immediately. Cheers!

We are open!

We are thrilled and humbled with your response and support since our opening day!--thank you! 

We've brewed our first beers and they are available here for sale. Each week we'll add new beers for sale on Thursdays at noon.

Our brewing focus is on the modern beer styles we love to drink, share and seek out.  Top of the list are hazy and juicy hop-forward IPAs--big on flavour and low on bitterness.  We also love brewing and drinking big pastry stouts that feature dessert-like flavours such as coffee, chocolate, coconut and maple syrup.  We round out our lineup with fun and exploratory sour beers where we experiment with different flavour combinations through large fruit additions and other complementary ingredients.  Our goal is to turn each of our beers into a memorable experience. 

Finally we would like to thank you for stopping by and checking out what Third Moon Brewing is all about!  As a small upstart brewery we appreciate all of the interest and support this community has given us so far and we can't wait to share our vision with other craft beer fans!

  • Demolition

  • When you can't find a blank slate to start with, you must create your own. We spent almost a year converting this space into a functional brewery.

  • They're everywhere! They're everywhere!

  • What seemed like a large open space at first sure got crowded quickly once the tanks started arriving.

  • Now we're getting somewhere.

  • Finally things started to look like a brewery in here. Completing the brewhouse during COVID was an unexpected challenge to add to the list. But we persevered and finally...we're open!

  • The beer

  • Hazy, juicy IPAs, pastry stouts and fruited sours are our specialty. We use ingredients of the highest quality we can find showcasing local whenever possible and pack as much flavour into each creation as possible. Our beers are for the discerning and curious palate. If you prefer quality over quantity, you've come to the right place. Please enjoy responsibly.

We're All Out...but YOU might still have some. How's it drinking now?

Just Getting Started

Concentrated hop glory and it's tasting even better still each day!

All Citra with 8.5 pounds of hops per barrel (a lot!), this is a robust beer that will be drinking well for many weeks to come. No rush if you've got some, save it for very special occasions. Finish with this one if you're drinking other IPAs of ours in the same session.

Hops: 100% Citra

Tested Food Pairing Recommendations: BBQ, strong cheeses

Prime Now

One of our absolute favourites.

A well-built, well-rounded Double IPA, this will be drinking well for several weeks to come. The ABV is hidden well so don't underestimate it. A smooth session ender, delicious with food or on its own.

Hops: Mosaic, Sabro, Simcoe

Tested Food Pairing Recommendations: Hoisin-Chili Beef and Broccoli

Prime Now

In case you were wondering, the deer has the arrow in its teeth and is very much alive and well. Revenge is on its mind though...

A house favourite, showing more peach now than when we released it a few weeks ago. It's extremely smooth, juicy, food friendly and will continue to drink well for several weeks. Enjoy as you like.

Hops: 100% Galaxy

Tested Food Pairing Recommendations: enchiladas, penne primavera

Drinking Well - Ontario hops!

A creamy body and mouthfeel, this is loaded with interesting flavour.

A very satisfying beer after a long day of work. If you're only planning to have 1 or 2 beers, this is a great choice to delight your palate. It will drink well for a few more weeks so no point in waiting, enjoy now.

Hops: Sabro, Ontario-grown Rakau

Tested Food Pairing Recommendations: cheese & charcuterie, BBQ

Drinking Well - Food Friendly

On the more bitter end of our IPA spectrum, this is one of our most food friendly beers. The list of suggested pairings is long but salmon was the most magical combination we tested. 

This will drink well for a few more weeks so no point in waiting. Enjoy now with or without food.

Hops: El Dorado, Citra, Amarillo

Tested Food Pairing Reommendations:  salmon cooked the way you like it, BBQ, oven roasted chicken dishes, root vegetables.

Still Holding Up, Drink Now

This is not a West Coast style IPA but is a bit drier and less hazy than our other IPAs, perhaps in part because of the exclusive use of Mosaic hops.

Very food friendly, this is a great choice to accompany a meal. It's still drinking well but we don't recommend waiting any longer. If you've still got it, drink up.

Hops: 100% Mosaic

Tested Food Pairing Recommendations:  salmon teriyaki, loaded mashed potatoes, smash burgers with cheese, duck, grilled green cabbage, sweet potato.

Still Holding Up, Drink Now

One of our early favourites with balance between bitterness and juiciness. 

Great on its own but also a nice companion for lighter meals. It's still drinking very well considering we brewed it in early June but we don't recommend waiting any longer. If you still have any, enjoy sooner than later. (Based on Aug 5th tasting.)

Hops: 50/50 Citra and Simcoe

Tested Food Pairing Recommendations: portobello mushroom dishes, sesame cod on fresh noodles in a white wine cream sauce, poppyseed kale salad

Still Holding Up, Drink Now

A well-rounded IPA that's quite approachable for anyone who is open to trying the style through to those who already know and love it. 

With IPAs, the fresher the better. Every day counts. Our version of All Together is still drinking well, smoother actually, considering it's over 2 months old now but we recommend you drink 'em if you've still got 'em. (Based on Aug 6th tasting.)

Hops: Cascade, Columbus, Simcoe, Mosaic, Citra

Tested Food Pairing Recommendations: steak, BBQ

Still Holding Up, Drink Now

Due to the higher ABV of this IPA (it's a Double), it is able to continue tasting as it's meant to for longer.

It's still tasting surprisingly close to original but with a little less punch now. That said, it's well over 2 months old at this point so you should enjoy immediately if you have any left. Time is running out on this one. (Based on Aug 6th tasting.)

Hops: Mosaic, Citra, Idaho 7

Tested Food Pairing Recommendations:  A seasoned burger, BBQ chicken, beef and lentil dishes, pub fare.

Drinking Well

Stouts are not as time sensitive as IPAs. This will be tasty for up to a year, potentially longer depending on how it's stored. That said, the coffee will start to fade after a few months so up to you how soon you want to drink your supply.

Keeping in the fridge will slow the aging process. Just remember to take out at least 30 mins before enjoying as letting it warm to almost room temperature will reveal much more aroma and flavour.

Hops: Warrior

Tested Food Pairing Recommendations: classic egg breakfasts and rich chocolate desserts including brownies, chocolate muffins and cake.

Batch 1 - Declining, Batch 2 - Drinking Well

An instant favourite, batch 1 was our 2nd beer brewed at Third Moon. It delivered loads of Citra goodness but after 3 months is now losing its shine, drink up.

Batch 2 was even better right out of the gate (we improve our techniques with each batch) and it's currently drinking well. 

Hops: 100% Citra

Tested Food Pairing Recommendations: aged cheddar (stronger the better), spiced beef and flatbread

Declining

Our very first beer brewed at Third Moon brewery was a tasty learning experience but alas nothing lasts forever. With IPAs, every day counts and this one is now past its prime at 3 months of age.

Hopefully you've already drank any you had but if not, get on it. Time is running out. It's evolving and now changing quite a bit from the original taste.

Hops: Columbus, Sabro, Mosaic

Tested Food Pairing Recommendations: pizza, beef, pub fare
