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 Piñata - Ginger Peach Kettle Sour by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinGinger & peach can overpower a beer if not well handled. But there’s no such problem here - both are nicely layered over the mellow sour ale
- Greg C. is drinking a Paper Crown - Dry-Hopped Kettle Sour by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinA pleasant & easy drinking take on the style, with nice lemon yogurt tartness enhanced by citrus & pine character from the dry hopping.
- Greg C. is drinking an Ice Cider by Spirit Tree Estate Cidery at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Lacks the complexity of top notch ice ciders, but has a nice sweet-sour green apple thing going on.
- Greg C. is drinking an Emperor Norton by Almanac Beer Company at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Old bottle but still in pretty good nick - apricot meshes well with the strong Belgian-ish ale. I dig it.
