TORONTO, ON – Beer import agency Silvercreek Import Partners has announced that it has brought North America’s first Trappist beer to Ontario for the first time.
Spencer Brewery was launched in early 2014 by the monks of St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts. One of only 11 Trappist breweries in the world, and the first outside of Europe, its flagship beer is Spencer Trappist Ale, a 6.5% abv Belgian-style ale described as “a full-bodied, sunrise-hued ale with fruity accents, a dry finish and light hop bitterness.”
Spencer Trappist Ale made its Ontario debut earlier this month and is available at select LCBO locations throughout the province. For more details about the release, see the Silvercreek Import Partners website.

- Greg C. is drinking a Fruited Dry Hop Sour by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinTypically good quality sour from CA, although as can happen with multi-fruit beers, the flavours are a bit lost amongst each other.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trash Panda by Parallel 49 Brewing Company at King & DufferinMore murky than hazy. Flavour is a bit muddled at first, but some nice fruit notes - peach, pineapple, mango - come through as it opens up.
- Greg C. is drinking a Too Wound Down by Bell City Brewing Company at King & DufferinI question the Session IPA classification given the fairly low IBU, but this is still a more than acceptable pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a RoboHop Imperial IPA by Great Lakes BreweryA modern classic of the IIPA style, at least in Ontario. Strong malt base supporting a blast of citrus, pine & tropical fruit hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a Camp-Out Pils (Moonlight Kettle Graduate 2019) by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinThe Motueka hops are similar enough to Saaz to fit this excellent Pils, but also have a citrus zest character that adds a unique edge.
