Located 190 Colonnade Rd. in the Nepean area of Ottawa, the brewery will be launching with Ten12, a 5% abv beer described as being “lightly malted with a smooth taste and a crisp finish,” and possibly OPA – a 6% abv IPA with “assertive hop bitterness, balanced flavour and smooth finish” – if Andy considers it to be ready for release.
