Bellwoods Brewery (Toronto, ON)

Every year Bellwoods releases a Motley Cru barrel blend to celebrate another lap around the sun and an added year of wisdom. "Motley" here refers to an eclectic group, while "Cru" is a traditional beer term for blend, and together they scream "Happy Anniversary!". The common thread across all 12 of the Motleys they've released over the years, is threefold: 1. The release must be a blend. 2. The blend must utilize oak aged beer. And 3. The oak aged beer must be older than a year. This 2024 edition features a blend of spontaneous wild ales conditioned on Alphonso mangoes. It's tangy, sour, super fruity, an excuse to mark the passing of time, and a once-a-year opportunity to get sappy.
