Introducing the second-best sweet stout on the planet in 2021.

What You’ll Love About It

Oats, coffee, maple syrup and sugar – everything that makes up a great pancake breakfast. Now it’s OK to have beer for breakfast.

How It’s Made

We combine five kinds of malts with flaked oats to create a full bodied stout, then add milk sugar to sweeten it. As it cools we steep this beer with locally-roasted freshly ground coffee. While the beer may be a classic English style of stout, we make it proudly Canadian by finishing the beer with a Canadian classic: maple syrup.

Why Is It Called Pancake Bay?

We named our Sweet Brunch Stout after Pancake Bay, a sandy stretch on Lake Superior’s eastern shore. It got its name from the Voyageurs, stout traders who appreciated sandy beaches – like the one at Pancake Bay – to protect their fragile birch bark canoes. Makes us thirsty and hungry thinking about all the paddling and portaging. Bet they could’ve used a proper pancake brunch once in a while.

How to Enjoy It

Well with a pancake breakfast of course. Instead of that Caesar at your Sunday brunch, grab a stout glass and enjoy bayside. Best served at 10° Celsius.
