BeerSaturday 404 - Solanum (BreWskey)

in BEER5 days ago

Here's my entry for BeerSaturday 404 with an IPA brewed by BreWskey in old Montreal. This is Solanum in collaboration with brewery Toltek in the spirit of bringing a little sunshine in Montreal. And we need it, because winter hasn't said its last word here, with a few more flakes this morning and -10 when we woke up. We're still waiting for spring...

Voici ma participation au BeerSaturday 404 avec une IPA brassée par BreWskey dans le vieux Montréal. Il s'agit de la Solanum en collaboration avec la brasserie Toltek dans l'esprit d'amener un peu de soleil. Il en faut car l'hiver ici n'a pas dit son dernier mot, on a encore quelques flocons ce matin et -10 au réveil. On attend encore le printemps...

Solanum by BreWskey

Here's a map of Quebec where I can show you exactly where the brewery is located. BreWskey** is a microbrewery with a restaurant located in Montreal's touristy Old Port district, with two addresses: one for the Taproom at 385 de la commune Street and the other for the Pub at 380 Saint Paul Street.

Voici la carte du Québec ou je peux vous montrer précisément la localisation de la brasserie.

📜 Brewery / Brasserie :

It's been a few beers, mostly NEIPAs that I've been featuring, so you already know a little about this brewery BreWskey. As a reminder, it was founded in 2015 by Karine Amyotte, Guillaume Couraud and Derrick Robertson, who as is often the case, a group of friends passionate about beer but also whiskey hence the name. They start the adventure as taproom then in 2019 brew their own beers, mostly IPAs and NEIPAs 😀.

Cela fait quelques bières, surtout des NEIPA que je présente, alors vous connaissez déjà un peu cette brasserie BreWskey. Pour rappel, elle a été fondée en 2015 par Karine Amyotte, Guillaume Couraud et Derrick Robertson, qui comme c'est souvent le cas, un groupe d'amis passionnés par la bière mais aussi le whisky d'où le nom. Ils commencent l'aventure comme taproom puis en 2019 brassent leurs propres bières, surtout des IPA et des NEIPA 😀.


🍺 Tasting / Dégustation :

Solanum** is an IPA with 6.5% alcohol in collaboration with the brewery Toltek based in Boucherville (in the suburbs of Montreal, at 556 Boulevard de Mortagne to be exact). It's a combination of New Zealand hops with Nelson Bliss Process, Pacific Sunrise and Waimea Hop Kief. In the glass, the straw-yellow color of this IPA is topped by a light white foam. On the palate, this IPA has a strong citrus flavor, but is quite fresh. It bitters a little sunshine in this early spring, which is much needed this week in Montreal, where the snow is still falling.

La Solanum est une IPA avec 6.5% d'alcool en collaboration avec la brasserie Toltek installée à Boucherville (dans la banlieue de Montréal, au 556 Boulevard de Mortagne pour être exact). Il s'agit d'une combinaison de houblons de Nouvelle-Zélande avec Nelson Bliss Process, Pacific Sunrise et Waimea Hop Kief. Dans le verre, on retrouve la robe d'une IPA avec cette couleur jaune paille surmontée d'une légère mousse blanche. En bouche, on retrouve une IPA avec un fort gout d'agrume mais assez fraiche en bouche. Elle amème un peu de soleil en ce début de printemps, on en a bien besoin cette semaine sur Montréal où la neige est encore tombée.

Design

In terms of design, we find the cans characteristic of BreWskey with a stylish illustration featuring a volleyball match in the heart of a special desert, where the cacti seem to be producing hops. I really like the sunny color palette.

Niveau design, on retrouve les canettes caractéristiques de BreWskey avec une illustration léchée avec ici un match de volley au coeur d'un désert particulier ou les cactus semblent produire du houblon. J'aime beaucoup la palette de couleurs choisie, très estivale.

I haven't been to Montreal for a few years. But I was at a cool pub downtown. That brewery sounds familiar. I need to come for another visit...

Now there are many great breweries everywhere on the Montreal's island.
BreWskey have a great selection of IPA and perfect spot to enjoy Old Port.
Have a great Sunday
