This Old-World pale ale was HIghlander’s first beer, and remains one of their most-enjoyed brews. A classic pale ale taste with undertones of caramel, nuts and anise. Highlander Scottish Ale is made in the style of older Scottish brews. Its Edinburgh Ale yeast strain was imported from the United Kingdom. Four different varieties of malts and hops are used to create this UK-style beer with crystal clear Canadian water.
Don’t be afraid of the dark.
Smoked Porter is HIghlander’s dark secret. This high-quality porter blends notes of dark-roast coffee, chocolate and peat for a smooth, delicious taste and finish.
The complexity of their English smoked porter style beer comes from the careful selection of its dark malts. The smooth texture and long finish – without the usual bitter aftertaste of a dark – make this a symphony of coffee, caramel and chocolate flavours that isn’t rich or overpowering. The creamy, tan head right out of the bottle is reminiscent of a properly poured draft beer.
Highlander Brewery’s story begins in 2009 with the brewery’s first beer, a traditional Scottish Ale, which remains one of their best-loved beers. Their beer is brewed from pure local free-flowing waters, with barley cracked onsite to ensure freshness. Their careful attention to quality in our small-batch brewing process, paired with expert selection of the finest ingredients gives all of their beers a distinctive taste and smooth finish.
Highlander beer is a mix of the old and new. Some ingredients, such as hops and selected malts, are imported from Germany, United Kingdom, and the USA to give their beer a distinctive, Old-World flavour. Other ingredients are sourced locally in Ontario, both hand-harvested and purchased from farmers. Their careful selection of ingredients and careful attention to water quality make their beers shine.
