CRAFT BEER

The Rusty Angler IPA
ABV: 6.8% IBU: 70

A perfectly balanced blend of specialty malts and generous hops ensure this IPA is packed with flavour. With notes of resiny pine, stone and tropical fruit, the Rusty Angler is the strong silent type, who, like a well-aged cheese, packs a punch.

7.00 – 14oz | 8.75 – 20oz

CAPTAIN VON TART SEASONAL SOUR
ABV: 5% IBU: 10

Always approachable and dry-hopped with tropical notes, our seasonal sours will have you singing Edelweiss faster than you can say Fraulein Maria.

7.00 – 14oz | 8.75 – 20oz

The Two Louies Coffee Stout
ABV: 4.2% IBU: 15 | On Nitro

Dark, luscious and deliciously complex, The Two Louies is everything a Stout should be. Aged with hand selected, locally-roasted French Press coffee, this full-bodied beer is a Rake favourite. Zut Alors! Très bon!

7.00 – 14oz | 8.75 – 20oz

Ziggy Digs It Hazy Pale Ale
ABV: 5% IBU: 15

Malted wheat and our very own Rake-harvested oats bring a protein rich haze to this HPA. Beautifully cloudy and silky smooth, kettle hops and dry hopping deliver a juicy punch to the palate. Can you dig it?

7.00 – 14oz | 8.75 – 20oz

Rosa the Rebel Mexican Lager
ABV: 4.5% IBU: 15

Light, dry and made for easy drinking, Rosa the Rebel is the perfect beer on a hot summer day. Lightly kilned pilsner, corn and rice form the base of this Mexican style lager, with hops bringing the spice and fruity goodness. Best enjoyed icy cold, after a dip in the sea in your bloomers.

7.00 – 14oz | 8.75 – 20oz

The Wandering Scotsman’s Spruce Tip IPA
ABV: 6.2% IBU: 10

Locally sourced, handpicked spruce tips are the secret to this effervescent Brut IPA. Dry-hopped Columbus and Simco combine to create earthy notes of pine, resin, spice and fruit. Like a crisp morning wander with a kilted Scotsman through an evergreen forest, but with beer. Slainte!
