STRATOSPHERE

DOUBLE WEST COAST IPA

Our expedition to the far reaches of the hop world continues, with a bold new IPA that is firmly rooted in the past.

We teamed up with Ontario brewery Collective Arts head brewer Ryan Morrow to create some hop artistry in the form of Stratosphere West Coast DIPA. We dusted off some old school hops we know and love – Warrior, Columbus, Simcoe and Centennial – and weaved in Strata hops to create a mesmerizing bright citrus character with tropical fruit backing notes and an underlying dankness that really brings the aromas alive.

This beer is out of this world. It’s insanely aromatic, dry, and has a long-lasting resinous bitterness to remind you of the good old days when an IPA was an IPA.

TOTAL SATURATION

TRIPLE NEIPA

How saturated in aroma and flavour can one beer be? We found ourselves pondering that exact question with our good friends at Collective Craft Beer Shop and decided to find out.

To build a big beer, you need wheat, lots of it. And oats, boatloads. Then all the pils malt and flaked barley you can get your hands on. But your beer can’t be totally saturated until you’ve overflown the kettle with as many hops as you can muster.

For this beer, we used Yakima Chief’s Cryo Pop Hop Blend, a hop medley of the most delicious sticky compounds, cryogenically frozen to extract all that concentrated lupulin - the aromatic stuff that makes Saturation beers smell so damned saturated. You’ll get mind-boggling notes of stonefruit, citrus and tropical fruit and as the name suggests, the aroma truly pops from the glass.


We’re totally proud – and a little intimidated if we’re being honest – to present Total Saturation Triple NEIPA (10%), our biggest, boldest, most aromatic and flavourful hazy beer to date. It’s a ten percenter that drinks like a sixer, with a texture as fluffy as cotton ball clouds and aromas that will waft over you for an eternity.

TROPOSPHERE

WEST COAST IPA

Hello world. Aren’t you smelling lovely today?

When you think of all the permutations of blends of aromas that exist in the troposphere we call home, the mind boggles.

We’ve concocted what we think is pretty close to heaven on earth. Troposphere West Coast IPA is a classic hop bomb, with a stupendously delicious modern twist. We chose two new hop varieties - Talus & HBC 586 - to show what’s possible when old school IPAs get a dose of something epic.

Prepare yourself to be assaulted with notes of mango, papaya and sweet orange, with underlying herbal notes and lingering pine resin. It’s dry, with just enough malt sweetness to balance the hop kick. It’s wildly aromatic, right to the last drop. Introduce some to your own troposphere, and smell the difference!

STARBURST

TRIPLE NEIPA

Imagine a galaxy far, far away. Now think of multiple galaxies merging and colliding, producing explosive starburst events. That’s big!
.
We couldn’t think of a more apt metaphor as we tested the limits of our mash tun and the patience of our accountant to craft our biggest, juiciest, most flavourful New England IPA to date.
.
Starburst weighs in an astronomical 9.5%, but floats on your tongue like a regular haze bomb. The thickness of the body will send your tongue into zero gravity and the hop bill of 100% Galaxy hops will send your taste buds into orbit. It radiates passionfruit, cantaloupe, lychee, and candied orange and continues to transmit wave after wave of aromas towards your nose, even once the glass is empty. It’s our shining star. And it tastes out of this world.

STYLE: Triple IPA

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Big & Juicy

POSTER GIRL

BLOOD ORANGE AND HIBISCUS IPA

Resilient. Versatile. Caring. Strong. Words cannot fully describe the women of Cabin, and the impact they have on Alberta’s craft beer industry. Cabin wouldn’t be Cabin without them.
.
On International Women’s Day on March 8, these amazing women joined as part of the @pinkbootssociety initiative to brew a blood orange and hibiscus IPA, called Poster Girl. It has big aromas and flavours of orange, grapefruit, lemon and pine and has a glorious orange and pink hue. The finish is dry, with a little malty sweetness to remind you you’re not drinking a glass of grapefruit juice.
.
Poster Girl is named in honour of Canada’s original poster girl Veronica Foster, a machine gun assembly worker who shot to fame as the face of Canada’s home war effort during Wold War II. Ronnie the Bren Gun Girl, as she was known, defined feminine strength and liberation at a time of great upheaval. Better yet, she was real – her image spurred the US to create their own fictional icon, Rosie the Riveter, to help with their war propaganda effort.

SEASON PASS

WEST COAST IPA

You’re in it for the long haul, so you may as well make the most of it.

Season Pass is a bright beacon at the start of the cold weather - an old school style with a modern kick. We’ve used 100% Origin Malting barley to build an aromatic malt backbone, and dumped a hefty amount of hops to let you know that this is most definitely a West Coast IPA of immense proportions. Chinook and Columbus give some old school resin, spice and pine notes while Simcoe and Amarillo steer it towards the citrus, stone fruit and tropical fruit notes we know and love in our hop-forward beers. This is an IPA for IPA lovers. Bitter? Yes. Aroma for days? You know it. Delicious? Absolutely!

STYLE: West Coast IPA

RUNAWAY

DOUBLE IPA

You’ve got to get away sometimes. Switch off your phone. Head for the hills. Breathe in freedom. Reconnect with those you love.

We’ve joined forces with Wild Rose Brewery – a group of friends who are very near and dear to us – to create our version of a “Cabin” in the “Wild” where we can pause, rewind and reflect on what we do and why we do it.

The beer is a big, bold West Coast-style hop monster with a balanced bitter bite. Think oranges, grapefruit, light stonefruit and a whiff of pine resin. This beer has heart and soul and all sorts of delicious aromas and flavours that keep on keeping on until the last drop.

It’s one to linger over with friends. It’s one to celebrate. It’s Runaway time.

FIRST LIGHT

SESSION IPA

First Light: when the dawn awakens, when the coffee goes on and when the day is filled with endless possibilities. It’s when we end our nights, start our days and dream big dreams. This beer was brewed on International Women’s Day by the women who help make Cabin great, as part of the Pink Boots Collaboration Brew Day. Using the Pink Boots hop blend, they carefully crafted a delicate yet assertive west coast-style session IPA. It is light enough to be sessionable, yet loaded with amazing floral, spicy and citrus aromas and a lingering nutty malt backbone.

STYLE: Session IPA

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Light and hoppy

ABV: 4.5%

IBU: 40

HOPS: Mosaic, Simcoe, Pink Boots Blend
