| Featured Beer - Muskoka Cream Ale

First brewed in 1996, Muskoka Cream Ale has since become a signature beer of the Muskoka region. Unmistakable with its rich amber colour and inviting floral tones, this laid-back English pub-style ale is smooth and easy-going. With a cascade hoppiness and a fuller body of flavour, this gold-medal winning Canadian Cream ale is the quintessential taste of cottage country.
