Simple Math: Tomato Salad

After taking a week off and then promptly following it with a long weekend, I returned to work with the distinct impression that a salad, with actual vegetables, would be a great life choice. Luckily for me, our chef is able to communicate telepathically and psychically, anticipating not only the culinary needs and wants of Toronto at large, but also those of my tiny pea brain. And because we all know that food loves the company of drink, I thought, what better time to whip up one of our strongly worded Simple Math 'encouragements' to put 2 and 2 together?

But first, ask yourself, am I human? Do I live on planet Earth? Will I fight for the army of deliciousness? If you answered yes to all three questions like any self-respecting person would, then you are on the right track. Please proceed to paragraph #3, where we finally arrive at the point of this meandering message.

We feel [quite strongly] that it would be in your best interest to order our fresh and delicious tomato salad with a bright glass of Wizard Wolf. The salad, made with heirloom Ontario tomatoes, croutons, red onion and basil, capers, white anchovy, and pecorino fresco dressed simply with olive oil, and a little salt and pepper, is simple but delicious. To balance the range of fresh, acidic, and salty flavours of the salad -- without overpowering it -- we find that the lightly hoppy Wizard Wolf, characterized by subtle citrus and pine notes, is a real winner.

So stop denying what you know in your heart to be true...just drink a Wizard Wolf, eat a tomato salad and welcome the light into your life.

Our very talented brewer Owen took these amazing shots of our last spontaneous/coolship brew. Inspired by lambic, this turbid mash brew cooled overnight in our coolship and is now happily fermenting spontaneously in oak. We expect this to go into blends as early as fall of 2019! If we’re lucky, we’ll be able to release some in 2020! As has become tradition, we finished off the brew day with some excellent bottles of lambic, this time from @3fonteinen.
Witchstock 2018 will be held on September 29th this year. Here’s a sneak peak at the preliminary list of out-of-province breweries that will be attending. We’ll announce more information as it develops, including the ticket sales date (we’ll give plenty of warning, don’t worry). @microbrasserie_alafut @beavertownbeer @brasseriecantillon @cloudwaterbrew @brasseriedieuduciel @dunhambrasserie @eviltwinbrewing @foambrewers @forestandmain @fourwindsbrewco @gueuzetilquin @houseoffermentology @jwakefieldbeer @otherhalfnyc @oxbowbrewingcompany @pendruidbrewing @speciationales @theveilbrewing @trilliumbrewing @triplecrossing @trvebrewing AND MORE TBA!!

Bellweiser Pilsner was brewed to highlight German pilsner malt and yeast, and late-addition Strisselspalt hops. Paper Tiger Dry Hopped Pilsner was brewed traditionally, with the addition of a gentle Nelson/Simcoe dry hop. Both are unfiltered and received an excessively patient and appropriate amount of lagering time. $5/each
