"WEDGEHEAD" KÖLSCH

A mysterious moniker for a formidable foe, the Wedgeheads were better known as the British Army Royal Engineers, tasked with enforcing laws and collecting taxes. A smuggler is only as good as he has to be, and the determined Wedgeheads kept them sharp as they tried (and often failed) to bring them to justice. This beer is our tip of the hat to a worthy adversary. Cheers! Wedgehead Kölsch is a traditional German style Kolsch with a distinctive West Coast kick. It’s crisp, light and highly refreshing, beloved by craft enthusiasts and classic beer drinkers alike.

Smuggler's Core Beer Lineup

Inspired by a (probably) true story, this beer is named for a legendary escapade. 150 years ago, on the run from the British Army redcoats, a pair of gold thieves made their escape in the original Canadian getaway vehicle: a canoe. Incredibly, they out-paddled their pursuers and escaped up the Fraser River, proving that sometimes a wild risk pays off. In that spirit, we’ve dared to re-imagine the west coast IPA. Notes of bright citrus, passion fruit and mellow spruce shine through a base of moderate caramel malt. Perfectly balanced, full-flavoured, never bitter. Raise a glass to your latest escapade.

"CAPTAIN STONE" LAGER

Captain Stuart Stone was the skipper of a prohibition era smuggling ship called the Malahat. With his trusty ship, Captain Stone quickly became the most infamous transporter of contraband liquor on the West Coast. While alcohol was legal in Canada, Prohibition reigned in the US, and Americans were thirsty for Canadian whisky.

"flaskers" british ale

Resourceful smugglers moved ales along the Smugglers Trail, sneaking it past the authorities and straight into the hands of the folks who needed it most. In tribute to the timeless need for refreshment, we’ve created a proper British Pub Ale. Strong English malts supply toasty flavour, balanced by old-world hops that add notes of stone fruit and berry. The result is a smooth, refreshing beer for all occasions.

"Plush" hazy ipa
 

A light, refreshing ale bursting with tangy passionfruit and sweet pineapple. Accentuated by fruity Kveik yeast and juicy Pacific North West hops.



Bursting with tropical notes, Plush delivers a velvety smooth and creamy texture, highlighted by bold flavours of fuzzy peach, lemon, and lime. Imagine the vibrant taste of Five Allive blended with subtle hints of orange creamsicle and melon candy.

Crafted in collaboration with Toronto's Bellwoods Brewing, this juicy IPA bursts with Citra, Nelson Sauvin,  and experimental hops from Hops Connect. Expect bold, citrus and tropical fruit flavours, with subtle notes of white grape and fuzzy peach.

This Hazy Pale Ale was dryhopped with juicy Eclipse hops, brewed with flaked wheat, oats and BC grown Comet. Bursting with juicy tangerine, mandarin, fresh honeydew melon and hints of pineapple.

IC3 is crafted with Dutch cocoa, Madagascar vanilla, roasted hazelnuts, and aged on toasted American oak. Boiled for five hours for rich complexity, it's a decadent, crowd-pleasing standout you won't forget.

Even the most charismatic Smugglers have a dark side. Black Gold balances bold and smooth roasty flavours with slight touches of spruce and the added kick of cold brew and whole bean coffee. This is the beer for good chats and great stories.

Originally destined to be something else entirely. Harvest Apricot Ale was a happy little accident. Loads of apricot make this beer sweet and jammy with a light tartness and a hint of earthy English hops.
