A new contract brewer with an aim to open a physical location in Toronto’s west end is getting set to release its first beer next month, Canadian Beer News reported on November 25.

Katalyst Brewing has been founded by long-time homebrewer Mark Verok, who is treating contract brewing as “a means to an end” in order to build up the brand and attract investors for a bricks-and-mortar operation.

Verok is currently brewing out of Cool Brewing in Etobicoke, and will soon be launching Symington Saison, the first Katalyst brand.

Symington Saison is a 5.5% abv ale brewed with a grain bill that features rye, wheat and 2-row malt, and Saaz hops.

Symington Saison will be available at select LCBO outlets in Toronto and surrounding area in early December, retailing for C$2.90 per 473 ml can.
