They say they focus on extreme brewing and
We don't adhere to the limitations set by traditional style definitions. We use unusual ingredients and brewing methods to make all-natural craft beer in small batches that is so distinctive and delicious we hope it cannot be judged by ordinary standards

Though they only seem to have 1 beer right now.

I've heard of them, but they are REALLY new. The press release for them was May 30th and their first beer hasn't even made it's public debut.

Check out this article about them

Yeah they are contract brewing at Cool right now I think. Funny thing.... dude sends out a mass online 'survey' about a year ago, not sure where he got my email addy but yeah.... I don't remember the questions exactly but something along the lines of... Would you like to see 'extreme' beers from a craft brewery? Would you be willing to pay more for 'extreme' beers? etc it was pretty weird, someone has some sort of grandeur visions of mass marketing I guess. :lol:

While I agree that pineapple is pretty different, I wouldn't exactly call it 'extreme' - neither is the
bold, hoppy West Coast pale ale
, I hope they succeed. Most Ontario Craft Brewers I've tried are a pretty timid when it comes to experimentation.

Oh, I also hate pineapple.
