Our Brews
Every
drop of our beer is brewed in Canada's great white north. We have won
international and national awards for our beer. Here is what you can
ask for at your liquor store.
Chilkoot
For
years, Yukoners and beyond have been asking us, “Brewery guys, when are
you going to give us a good old lager beer at a good old lager price?!”
Finally in May 2000, we caved in to peer pressure and created our own
chemical-free alternative to the big brand lagers…

Yukon Red
When
we were designing our flagship brands, we knew we would not please
everybody, so we went for diversity; our Yukon Red is substantially
different than our Yukon Gold. But what has surprised us most is that
our local Yukoners have taken both of our flagship brands to heart (and
to dinner, and to parties...) and drank almost equivalent quantities of
each!

Yukon Gold
The
Yukon’s #2 selling draught (we have passed most of the big brands, one
to go), this ale was designed to be an almost “non-ale”. It is golden
in colour, brilliantly clear, and clean across the palate. The mix of 4

malted wheat provides a slight, but characteristic citrusy finish.

Cranberry Wheat Ale
Cranberry
Wheat started out as a summer seasonal beer, only available in the
Yukon and only from about Victoria Day till Labour Day (no snarky
comments about the length of a Yukon summer, please!). The beer grew
immensely popular as the word got out...the last summer that the beer
was only available seasonally (2003) the summer supply sold out in
mid-June!

Lead Dog Ale
How
could we survive the Yukon winters without a winter warmer? Well, I
guess Yukoners have been doing it for many years before we showed up,
but this Olde English Ale has to make the whole thing a little more
bearable.

Discovery Ale
Discovery
Ale was the beer on Brew Sheet number one, back in early 1997. The beer
is a honey pale ale, but we didn’t use just any old honey. Since
fireweed is the official flower of the Yukon, we thought that it would
be only right if the first brew should use fireweed honey, which
results in a different flavour from other honey beers.

Espresso Stout
In
the fall of 2003, Midnight Sun Coffee Roasters, a local Whitehorse
coffee company that roasts their coffee fresh here in the north,
approached us with an idea…
