TORONTO, ON – Henderson Brewing has announced the release of a new beer with a name that pays tribute to a historic namesake brewery.
Duchess and Caroline Imperial Porter (10% abv) is named after the intersection – now Richmond and Sherbourne – where Robert Henderson built the first brewery in the town of York in 1804.
The beer has been aged in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels, and is described as being “big, with notes of toffee, and coffee, and roasty sweetness.”
Duchess and Caroline is available now on tap and in bottles at Henderson while supplies last.

- Greg C. is drinking a Heir Apparent by Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery at King & DufferinPepper beers aren’t usually my thing but this is an exception. Great balance to all the flavours and abv is not obvious at all. Impressive!
- Greg C. is drinking a Tripel Thread by Kensington Brewing Company at King & Dufferin11 months old. I tend to prefer my Tripels on the drier side, but this is still a pretty good one. Tart gooseberry notes cut the sweetness.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Callista) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot very familiar with Callista hops but they work well here, bringing notes of apricot, gooseberry, blueberry & a slight floral edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a S.P.A. Special Pale Ale by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinQuite a while since I had this last & it seems to have improved. Overall character is that of an authentic malt-forward UK pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a Farmhouse Dark by Stack Brewing at The Craft Brasserie & GrilleSharp & sour up fromt. Bit of caramel malt but not much else behind. Thin body struggles to carry the flavour. OK but needs refinement.
