DOUBLE WHEAT RELEASE! When we released a small batch of Free Spirit Wheat Beer with Mango back in Feb, it didn't last long. We knew we wanted to brew it again and make some tweaks to the recipe. This time around, we split the batch to create two versions of Free Sprit one with mango, chamomile and lemon, and one with strawberry and banana!Alex has dialed in our wheat beers, and we’re pumped for you to try our two new versions of Free Spirit. We brewed these beers with o...ur patio launch in mind (before the lockdown), because we know just how much you all love our wheat beers on the patio! So, we highly recommend you to buy some of these and enjoy them on your own patio, or on a patch of grass somewhere! Free Spirit Mangoand Free Spirit Strawberry Banana are available for purchase online right now, and they’ll be available in store starting on Wednesday at noon. We’re offeringlocal delivery again this week in Burlington, Hamilton, Ancaster and Dundas on Friday, May 7th. Delivery is free for orders over $30 (before HST) using the discount code ‘FREEDELIVERY’.

Happy Friday, friends! We’re shaking things up this week for Fromage Friday, and instead of an IGTV video, we're reposting this stunning cheese board that Hannah created via her cheese biz, @thethirstydoe! It's like a work of art! You can create your own version of this cheese board to celebrate Mother’s Day, a birthday, or to make any day feel special. @saltspring_island_cheese Flower Chèvre from @mickey_mcguires_cheese Sweet Dreams Wheat Beer... Spring is a particularly special time for goat cheese production here in Ontario and Canada. This fresh chèvre from Salt Spring Island Cheese in BC is truly a treat and Hannah made it the star of this lovely cheese board. A fresh chèvre tends to be light and tangy, so when pairing, choose flavours that will complement and contrast such as tangy citrus and berries, as well as sweeter elements, like this insanely delicious white chocolate bark with raspberries and passion fruit from @_detourcafe. Hannah chose to pair this lovely chèvre with Sweet Dreams, our Wheat Beer with white tea, ginger, lemon zest and peach. The zippy spice of the ginger and bitterness of the tea add another level of brightness and depth to the floral cheese while the sweetness from the juicy peach plays in contrast to the tangy fresh chèvre. For more cheese content, head over to @thethirstydoe to hang with Hannah!

Since this is all new to us, we’re figuring out things as we go along and we appreciate your grace and understanding! This stunning photo is by the talented @ellechicphotography! Huge thanks to her for sharing her work with us and capturing our building so beautifully. [Image description: Our building is photographed from the street during sunset. The building is an old mechanic shop, so it has an industrial vibe. It's painted white, with two large glass bay doors on either side of the building. The building takes up approx 1/3 of the frame, but the sky is the real star of the show. The big sky is coloured in shades of blue, pink and white, and it looks like cotton candy. We really get the best sunsets at Grain&Grit, and this one was no exception.]

STOUTS ARE HERE! You’ve all be patiently waiting for a stout, and today we’re stoked to tell you that we have TWO available this week! We’ve brought back two of your old favourites: BREAKFAST MILK STOUT WITH COFFEE This beer has become a classic around here, and it’s from our opening line-up all the way back in 2017! This is the recipe that ignited Joe's love of homebrewing, and Alex has been fine-tuning and perfecting it with each new batch. Brewed with lactose, chocolate... malts and coffee from @cafedomestiique in Dundas, Breakfast Milk Stout is rich, creamy and full of coffee aroma and flavour with hints of dark chocolate. PLAY THING OATMEAL STOUT WITH CHAI We brewed Play Thing for the first time last year in collaboration with Ren from @beer_diversity. What started as a fun collab with a friend turned into a partnership with a trailblazer for diversity and inclusion in the craft beer industry and beyond. With this beer, we aim to bring attention to the work that Beer.Diversity is doing and to show our dedication to working alongside Ren to make the craft beer industry a welcoming space for everyone. Play Thing has a silky body, with flavours and aromas of Chai spice, cacao and hints of coconut. Breakfast and Play Thing will be available in our retail shop today, or you can order your beer online for brewery pickup or shipping within Ontario! by @pureandlovelyphotography [Image descriptions are in the alt text for each image.]

You’re thirsty and looking for a patio, and we’re here for you! The brewery will be open from 12-7pm today for sunny patio hangs, or beer to go. Enjoy this day, friends! by @tastehamont...
