TORONTO, ON – Amsterdam Brewery has announced the return this week of a limited edition beer brewed in collaboration with Toronto craft beer destination Bar Hop.
Nautilus Foreign Extra Stout is described as follows:
Foreign Extra Stouts were traditionally brewed with a extra hit of hops to help preserve freshness as the beer travelled by ship to colonies around the world. This style of beer may be hop forward in its production but by using roasted barley and malt, a deep and rich beer with a slight dryness results. Foreign Extra Stout is a exciting beer to drink and one not often brewed by local brewers. It’s very drinkable at 6.5% with a distinct character that continues to build with each sip.
The new batch of Nautilus will make its debut tomorrow (Thursday February 2nd) at 5:30 PM at the original Bar Hop location (391 King St. W.). A limited run of bottles will go on sale the next day at both Amsterdam retail stores.

- 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 Unfiltered 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.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinStrong fruit preserve notes - esp. pineapple & peach - that lean a bit sweeter than my preference, but still improved from early days.
- Greg C. is drinking a Streetcar Delay IPA by The Six Brewing Co. at King & DufferinFirst batch from new brewer Chris Tower still has the good balance of earlier versions, but with more oomph and bounce to the hops. Great!
- Greg C. is drinking a Rhubarb Saison by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinAs when I first tried it in 2017, I don’t find much rhubarb in this beer. But it’s a nice - albeit fairly simple - saison that refreshes.
