We hope everyone is enjoying their massive turkey leftovers from this one of a kind socially distanced Christmas! A Very 9 Mile Christmas 4 comes at you tonight after the Team Canada game (likely around 7:30).

One of our co-Founders offered some thoughts on the dynamic that we are all working through. The crises created by the virus are multifaceted and require solutions that account for both health and the economy.

One more sleep until Christmas, but 2 more sleeps until A Very 9 Mile Christmas! We’ve had a pile of fun imagining a socially distanced variety show and are keen to share it with you! Streaming Boxing Day on our YouTube channel just after the World Juniors Game (around ~7:30)!... So grateful to the teams at @electricumbrella and @gladlinegd for getting us to the finish line! Merry Christmas Eve! #yxe #craftbeer #SKCraftBeer #AVery9MileChristmasIV See more

HYBRID VIGOUR The story of this brewery and its beer might be written in circumstantial ingenuity (happy little accidents!), though the same can be said about many beer styles. The original IPAs. California Common. ESB from the waters of Burton-upon-Trent. Hybrid was originally brewed for a @saskatoonjazzorchestra show. We’ve long loved malty marzen-style lagers but, as a tiny brewery, we had exactly zero tank capacity to lager. So this version was brewed with a clean ale... yeast and, damn, we liked how it tastes! The term hybrid vigour is one familiar to most farm kids - reflecting the vitality that plants and animals achieve when they are cross-bred. Different characteristics can occasionally produce a result that is greater than the sum of the parts. Doesn’t this story remind you of our province? So much of who we are result from circumstantial ingenuity - a smattering together of peoples a century ago that creates discomfort but also beauty, creativity and excellence. Happy accidents with all of their messiness and potential. The beer itself is an amber ale (let’s call it marzen-inspired). 5% ABV with 100% @makersmalt. Except caramel and light chocolate notes through a light red/coppery colour. We would have included an actual pronghorn with a six pack but, well, we’d have to catch one first. #yxe #craftbeer #SKCraftBeer #9MLCans See more

It felt so nice to perform again last night! THANK U to 9 Mile Legacy Brewing and their wonderful crew for helping us bring some live music to folks in a safe... way. It means a lot! And thanks also to everyone who tuned in and made us part of your Friday night plans! ICYMI: https://youtu.be/5mkTHHhQ8uM See more

THE TICKET Affectionately known over the years as the Golden Ticket, The Ticket and the GT, our Belgian-style blonde has long been a crowd pleaser. This beer was a bit of an accidental success story for us. When we built the original nanobrewery, we had a party with all of our contractors, suppliers and advisors (back when big parties in cramped spaces were a thing).... This beer was a special cask made with a Belgian strain of yeast. We gave each of these folks a golden ticket to see the new brewery first and they drained the cask in a hurry! A huge vote of confidence before we had sold a drop of beer to the general public! It was not long before the Golden Ticket was a mainstay at many of our restaurant partners. It was so popular that it took up around 1/4 of our overall production. We never had enough beer to package it in anything other than kegs and keep our variety, but with the new brewery we sure do now! For those unfamiliar, this is a beer that is straw gold in colour, 4.7% ABV and finishes with a bit of Belgiany yeast character (yes that’s a technical term). And it tastes darn good in a can! #yxe #craftbeer #SKCraftBeer #9MLCans See more

YER FAVOURITES Very excited to launch three of your favourite beer into cans - Golden Ticket, Hybrid Vigour and Rafiki Moja. Available in the taproom this weekend and at our retail partners next week. Our decision to expand our operations to a second, larger location wasn’t totally about economic growth. I mean, of course we think there is opportunity - we see a bright future for well made beer in SK! But in other respects, it was also about a return to our nano roots.... Wait - you grow to get small again?!?! We started in 2015 as a teeny tiny nanobrewery. Likely the smallest commercial brewery to ever exist in the province, brewing 100L at a time. We made that old kit work hard, brewing around 55 different beer and 551 brew cycles in a year and a half. Variety was the name of the game and that became part of the 9ML experience. As things grew, it became tougher to push creativity. These three beer became very popular - so popular that we’ve never packaged them! We were obviously still a nano in scale, but each week saw at least one of these beer in our tanks. Our ability to create new beer had been limited by the challenges of our growth. We are very excited to be able to share these beer with you in cans. They taste fantastic and will now be shared with more people. But just as importantly, our little nanobrewery on 20th will be able to get back to pushing the envelope on what beer can be. Nothing is ever fast at 9ML. We were very deliberate about much of this project - can size, cardboard carriers, how to visually interpret each beer and its story. As we worked on our project, we saw many other breweries launch cans as we played catchup. More on this thinking to come. This journey started as two friends who wanted to make great beer and impact their community in a meaningful way. There have since been many hands building 9ML. We hope that you look at these cans and think about the many ways you’ve contributed to our growth as brewery. Together we do great things and so much in this province is built from many peoples’ strength. #yxe #craftbeer #SKCraftBeer #riversdaleyxe See more

We are very excited to launch the new features on our Virtual Taproom - space-locked user accounts, gear procurement and the ability to ship beer and merch all the way to Aneroid. We hope you agree that the results are out of this world! A proud salute to Major Hunks and the team at @zulive for getting this off the ground and back home in one piece.... #yxe #craftbeer #SKCraftBeer #GroundControlToMajorHunks See more

Although Saskatchewanians are limited in our ability to travel these days, our Saskatchewan malt will travel First Class from our new Mill Room (where it'll get cracked in a roller mill and placed into our auger system) and landed into our Mash Tun where it will dance with clean Saskatoon water and start its metamorphosis into wort (sugar water). The necessary first step on the long journey into great beer. This voyage will be possible thanks to @waynesundby & the team at... Western Ag Systems. They also supplied us with our washdown panels in the brewery and made it into a clean, professional brewing facility. What beer would you like us to brew first at the new facility? #yxe #craftbrewey #SkCraftBeer #SupportLocal See more

All good things come to those who wait. The Ticket arrives at our Taproom today, for both pickup and delivery! ... #yxe #craftbeer #SKcraftbeer #SodbusterProject See more

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that zing! Our expanded brewery will see us moving from an electric boil kettle to a steam-powered kettle (see our last post re: Saskatoon Boiler), but there is not shortage of electrical work in commissioning an new brewery. Once again we relied on the steady hands of Adams Electric to bring light and life to our new space (https://adamselectrical.ca/). Scotty helped us out in 2017 with our Flagship Nanobrewery when we upgraded ther...e as well. It's always good working with Scott and his team, as they always find cost-effective electrical solutions. Fun fact - Scott and his family are also the masterminds behind Saskatoon's favourite drive-thru perogie restaurant, @babasyxe. Bet you can't eat just one (plate)! #yxe #CraftBrewery #Skcraftbeer #SupportLocal See more

VIRTUAL TAPROOM GIVEAWAY At the start of the pandemic, we had @motifmarketing help us with these really cool enamel pins - but for the life of us we couldn’t figure out how to get them to you! Something about a bowl full of pins with everyone’s fingers shuffling through it didn’t feel sanitary..: So, we’ve decided to give a few away! Until the end of November, an online purchase of any of: (i) a 6 pack of cans or small bottles or (ii) a 4 pack of crowlers or bombers, wil...l get you one of these beauties, randomly selected by Kate and Erin. We’ve got limited quantities so don’t delay - get over to store.9MileLegacy.ca and get your order in the queue! And about that Virtual Taproom: @ravisdavis has given it an upgrade with @zulive and will announce some great changes tomorrow. #yxe #craftbeer #SKCraftBeer #9MLCans See more

Surprise, surprise! You can't make beer with a new brewhouse unless it is hooked up! Revo Plumbing and Heating ensured our steam boiler was piped in, glycol flowed to the fermenters, and water made it to where it needed to go (and stayed out of where it didn't!). REVO has been doing an outstanding job at helping us make this flow. #yxe #CraftBrewery #Skcraftbeer #SupportLocal

We close each Remembrance Day at 9ML, as service for our country touches each of our families. We are eternally grateful for the ultimate sacrifice paid by those young men and women over the years - an ongoing sacrifice that continues in many cases upon return. We commit to passing this lesson to future generations in hopes that they can avoid similar sacrifice.... #LestWeForget See more

RAFIKI MOJA IPA As with many craft brewers, the Pacific Ocean and its brewing scenes have long been a place of inspiration for us and is a formative part of our journey. When our founders moved away from their careers, they spent a great deal of time on various Pacific coasts and benefited from the hospitality and generosity of friends.... Shawn was mainly down in Wellington, NZ (big shout out to @garageproject for taking in a scruffy backpacker those many years ago) and Garrett in Powell River, BC (equally big shout out to our friends Chloe and Cedric of @townsitebrewing for teaching Garrett commercial brewing and always being there as an understanding ear). We are eternally grateful for those early experiences and constantly looking at ways to pay it forward to other prospective brewers, as one does in this wonderful industry. This particular beer is named after the Moen family sailboat, moored in Lund, BC. The picture is of Rafiki Moja sailing into Desolation Sound. Many great trips on Rafiki (the boat) have been made over the years, each inspiring our version of a prairie craft brewery that punches with the best. People think it’s odd for prairie farmers to be drawn to sailing. We don’t agree - there are many similarities to navigating a sailboat on big water as there is in driving a combine on our open prairie. You have a big horizon, you set your line and you watch the skies for danger. We’ve spent many years sailing the South Saskatchewan and our sailing heritage is owed to Shawn’s Grandpa Ernie, who fell in love with the Pacific Ocean as a small boy. In terms of beer style, this is a classic West Coast IPA. Hop forward with hops sourced from the Pacific NW and the South Pacific. Lots of citrus/pine aroma and a sharp body bitterness. ABV is 6.1% and one sip will leave you dreaming of clear skies and smooth sailing. #yxe #craftbeer #SKCraftBeer #9MLCans See more

Very excited to have taken home the Gold for Angus Stout in this years Canadian Brewing Awards ! This year was super weird to say the least and you wonder whether you should participate in things like competitions. But we felt it is important to celebrate our industry and put ourselves up against the best, in good times and ... chaotic! This is a massively special win for us. Angus Stout is named after Garrett’s grandpa Angus so very dear to his heart. Along with 9 Mile A...le, it was part of our initial beer lineup and one of our earliest homebrew recipes. A big thanks to our entire team for doing what they do - this beer is made with many hands, hands that were occupied with a bunch of odd stuff this year including a little ole pandemic! And a special congrats to the other saskie winners Nokomis Craft Ales , warehouse_beer District Brewing Company Pile O' Bones Brewing Co. Making our province proud! #yxe #craftbeer #SKCraftBeer #SaskRising #CBAC2020 See more

It's that time of year - Fresh Hop Season! This is our 3rd year participating in the hop harvest at Moosomin, dating back to our initial fresh hop trip (which we think was the very first commercially produced fresh hop beer in SK). What a privilege it is to work with @Saskatchewanhops and see the rise of a SK hop industry. Look for Homegrown as it lands at the taproom and in draught at select retail partners. Get it while it is "fresh", for a fresh hop beer does not ge...t better with age! #yxe #CraftBrewery #Skcraftbeer #SupportLocal See more

Pop-up Alert! We are joining forces with Laura from La Taqueria Mexicana to bring you some tacos to celebrate Mexican Independence Day! If you have missed Laura's authentic food at the Farmer's Market, you are not alone! Stop at the taproom on Sep. 15th for some delicious beer & tacos or take them on the go - available for pick up! 3x $15 ... -Pastor (pork) -Chorizo (spicy sausage) -Suadero (beef) -Champinones (V) (mushrooms) What is the difference between Mexican Independence Day & Cinco de Mayo? Cinco de Mayo has taken on greater significance in the U.S. - this holiday provides an opportunity to connect with Mexican culture and it celebrates a battle won in Mexican history. Mexican Independence Day, known to Mexicans as El Grito (The Scream), on Sep 16th, commemorates the start of the Mexican War of Independence from Spain & it is celebrated on Sep 15th. This is the most significant day for Mexicans, which embodies their pride for their home country. #yxe #CraftBrewery#Skcraftbeer #SupportingLocal #TheMoreYouKnow

We’ve done some remodeling and are stoked to welcome you back in for offsale with the weather turning south. A couple of handy dandy details: Our outdoor offsale lineup simply won’t work in the cold so we are welcoming you in again! Just be mindful not to crush the bar if you see a couple people in ahead of you. We’ve kept our Pod format as the fall draws nearer. The feedback we received was that you loved the safety. But the place felt so darn cold and vacant! So we’ve r...eactivated our harvest table, measured the distances twice and now have a wonderful return to our former taproom vibe - while keeping things safe, sanitized and separated! Max 6 people and private bathrooms for each table in keeping with that podlyfe! A challenge with the Pods has been a bit of formality and thinking ahead so we added a 9ML Express option, if you are waiting for a growler or are on a date and need a quick beer. It’s probably the best seat in the house! We’ve kept our fancy rural velvet rope, tied together by none other than @garrett.irvin82! In SK, we always get through winter together, making the best of things and by being creative. We will navigate what should be an odd fall/winter season with you and are looking forward to the place feeling a bit more comfortable! #yxe #craftbeer #SKCraftBeer #ItsYourPlace

@vocedevelopments was the powerhouse behind our Flagship Nanobrewery renovation back in 2016. When we decided to go ahead with our new expansion, we reached out to VOCE right away to quarterback the project. Although VOCE has grown a lot since 2017 and our new building didn't require a lot of facelift, Duane and Joanne still jumped at the chance to work with us again. They were instrumental in building walls, cutting openings, installing doors, waterproofing... the list... goes on. It is our honour to grow alongside such a great group of people. #yxe #CraftBrewery #Skcraftbeer #SupportLocal See more

Much as brewing with local ingredients matter, sourcing local equipment for our expansion was a priority from the start. Few weeks ago we toured Saskatoon Boiler, who will be supplying our boiler assembly for the new brewery. ... we treat every costumer like the only one we have... We certainly have felt that from the start in working with Ray and his team....

Announcing an update to our taproom hours! As we reopened with our Taproom Pods, we have been trying to figure out the best time slots for our taproom operations. Setting your hours can be really hard! Lots of analysis and conversation around when people might like to visit the taproom and trying to anticipate a sales rhythm when you don’t have a great deal of data in the new normal. After lots of spreadsheets, debate and crystal ball gazing, we settled on 2 to 9 (get it...? ). Open Tuesdays to Saturday from 2:00pm to 9:00pm, starting tomorrow. #yxe #craftbeer #SKCraftBeer #229 #BeSmartNotScared
