Otter Lake Cherry Wheat beer is brewed upon request from Kim, the sister of our co-founder Rick. Actually, it was brewed with Kim - she joined us for the first brew day back in 2024. This celebration of Ontario's cherry harvest is fermented on real cherry juice and delivered just in time for fall.
What You’ll Love About It
It's all about balance: A malt bill featuring pale wheat and honey malt, a fruit-forward hop, and real sour cherry juice, just in time for fall. And at 5.9%, it's not light on flavour.
How It's Made
A malt bill of Canadian pilsner, malted white wheat, and honey malt gets a touch of stone fruit-forward Mosaic hops. Once complete, we get it started again with delicious red sour cherry juice, just in time for Ontario's fall cherry season!
Why Is It Called Otter Lake?
Rick's sister - who all but demanded a cherry wheat beer - had a cottage up on Otter Lake, not far from Parry Sound in Ontario. After generations in the family it was recently sold, and this beer serves as a delicious tribute.
How To Enjoy It
At 4-7° Celsius while watching the fall colours start to arrive.
Did You Know?
The inspiration for this beer came from Kim's favourite brew: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, a classic American craft beer worth emulating.
