Long before TWB had an actual brick & mortar location, when it was still a bit of hope and a dream, one of the founding worker owners, Alex, asked for a new beer for her birthday. Being a bit of a forest nut, she wanted a beer with trees in it - and that's how our Ale-X Juniper Rye ESB came to be!
To be fair, she expected a strong IPA with heavy pine notes - but the brewer took it in a totally different direction. That’s the lesson from this ale: sometimes a little collaborative creativity lands us something better than any one of us could come up with on our own!
A customer favourite from day one, Ale-X is a classic English-style ale. It's very approachable but unique, with a nice bite from the rye malt that balances the Juniper flavours. It’s a crisp, clear ale that pours a beautiful amber hue - perfect to share with a friend!

On tap @ TWB - pours a clear amber with a smallish off white cap....Aromas are herbal, some juniper, sweet malts and fuggles earthiness... Flavor is rich and malty with enough hop and herbal/juniper astringence to balance, then goes long and wet in the finish where the herbs and hops show up out front ... slick mouth feel rounded finished character...a really decent ESB with some herbal twists to it...satisfying and flavorful
