VANKLEEK HILL, ON – Halcyon Barrel House – an off-shoot of Beau’s All Natural Brewing dedicated to mixed fermentation and barrel aged beers – has announced the release of its latest limited edition beer.
Curse of Knowledge (5.8% abv) is described as follows:
Curse of Knowledge is a barrel-fermented, barrel-aged blended farmhouse saison with brett. Spice and more delicate herbal, fruity and floral elements are rounded by its relationship with wine. Inspired by the farmhouse saisons of old, Curse of Knowledge is brewed with a house blend of several saison yeast and brett strains, and aged in red wine barrels for six months before blending. it is dry hopped with two french hop varieties, strisselspalt and mistral. Effortlessly drinkable, assumingly complex.
Curse of Knowledge is available at the Beau’s retail store & taproom and BYBO delivery service 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.
