Lug•Tread Lagered Ale

  • "Graham cracker pilsner malt wraps around hops. Mown alfalfa & slightly sweet breeze from a pear orchard with a satisfying fruity aftertaste."
    Kevin Pratt, BJCP Grand Master Beer Judge
  • "I was up in Vankleek Hill, Ont., recently (for an Oktoberfest celebration at Beau's) and the beer was fantastic."
    George Wendt

THE TRACKS LEFT IN THE MUD FROM A SMALL TRACTOR'S LUG•TREAD TELL THE TALE OF HONEST HARD WORK, CLOSE FAMILY TIES AND THE PROMISE OF THE UNPARALLELED TASTE OF AN ALL NATURAL PRODUCT.

Available year-round, LUG•TREAD LAGERED ALE is our award winning, flagship beer. In developing it, we charged Matt (Matthew O’Hara, our brewmaster) with hand-crafting a beer with a unique style and history, that could be made naturally with certified organic malts & hops and that would be incredibly tasty and very drinkable. We brew this tasty golden ale and then lager it to create a beer like nothing else in Ontario.

Tasting Notes

Golden-hued, crisp and finely balanced, Lug•Tread is our tribute to the classic beer of Cologne, Germany. Lug•Tread is top fermented (like an ale) and then cold aged (like a lager) for a lengthy period. This gives our beer some light ale notes complemented by a lager-like crispness. Lug•Tread displays interwoven malt and hop flavours, subtle fruit flavours and a crisp, lingering finish.

Food Pairings

Lug•Tread is the perfect year-round beer with thick, chewy malts to warm in the colder months and a refreshing, crisp finish to quench a summer’s thirst. It is well suited for lighter foods like chicken, salads, salmon, seafood and bratwurst. Monterey Jack, brick or similar light, nutty cheeses are perfectly suited, and for dessert a light apricot or mandarin cake or lemon custard tart would be very delicious.

Have no fear, though – with whatever you serve, Lug•Tread’s subtle flavours will not overwhelm the tastebuds, and its crisp dryness is great for cleansing the palate between bites.
