Happy Thanksgiving from the whole crew at Sussex Ale Works - Rick, Alaina, Sloane, Tessa & Jenna. We are thankful for you, our patrons, especially through the thick and thin of 2020. May you enjoy your day with friends and family. Here’s the recipe for our Stout Glaze for this year’s ham from the Country Butcher: 3 cups Medusa Milk Stout from the Buddha Bear Coffee Roaster & Holy Whale Brewing Co.... 1 cup brown sugar 2 tsp mustard powder 2 tsp ground cardamom 2 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon optional See more

You’ve heard of beer can chicken. Why not Crowler Can Turkey? It’s pretty hard to balance a turkey on those little beer cans but we’ve got the solution! Our 32oz Crowler cans are perfect for up to a 16lb Turkey. Steam coming from evaporating beer out of a can stuffed inside a turkey pumps the poultry full of moisture as it cooks. Use about a to cup of your preferred blend of spices to rub on the outside of the turkey. Don't have a favorite blend? There's no shortage ...of recipes on the internet. Remove the label on the Crowler and then open it and pour about half of it into a 9-inch disposable aluminum pan. Or if you feel the need, drink half the beer and just add water to the pan. Either way. No judging here. Punch two more holes in the top of the can, remove and discard the tab. Add a pinch to a handful of seasoning to the can. Sliding the turkey onto the can is possible by yourself, but a second pair of hands will come in handy. Hold the can while sliding on the turkey. (Did I really need to tell you to remove the neck, giblets and gravy pouch before this point? You did thaw the turkey right?) Adjust as needed to achieve a good balance. Pro tip: Do this setup as close to the oven as possible to minimize spilling during transportation. Center the turkey in the drip pan. Add additional water or beer to the pan while cooking if necessary. Place on the bottom rack and cook at 350 C. Cook to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F in the breast and 185 in the thigh. Insert the thermometer deep into the turkey without touching bone. Remove turkey from can. Use a clean towel to hold the can while wiggling off the turkey. Again, a helping hand at this stage is helpful, but not necessary. Loosely tent the turkey with foil and allow to rest for at least 15 minutes, though 30 minutes would be better, before carving. Happy Thanksgiving! We are open from 12pm to 8pm for all your craft beer needs.

From our brewery to you and yours! Here’s a few Craft Beer suggestions we put together for Thanksgiving weekend.

Our goal has always been to provide the people who walk through our doors a safe & inviting place to connect though conversation & laughter - one hand forged beer at a time. Due to the risks associated with Covid, we have decreased our seating by more than half, installed plexiglass to provide protection, created a routine of disinfection of the space between customers, logged visitors for tracing purposes, and mandated staff to wear masks at all times. The rest is on you.... Please do your part to keep our community safe by wearing a mask when you enter and respect social distancing with others. Once you are seated, we will happily serve you. For those who may not be comfortable coming in, we are happy to offer take-away Crowlers of all beer on tap and have a great selection of the region’s craft brews & cider available in cans in our new fridge. You can order online right here: https://sussexaleworks.ca/store This has been a roller coaster but we are truly thankful for your support. Sussex is an amazing place to live and do business. Together we are making it a safe place as well.

We've updated our website to make it easier for you to pre-order Crowlers and other merchandise to take home. We've also added an area for you to book private parties or events for your bubble. Of course, we are responding to Covid developments in real time in order to make sure we continue to offer you a safe and comfortable experience. Check out our site! www.sussexaleworks.ca
