SAVOUR MANITOBA | FALL 24 57 SUBLIMEY BASTARD LIME CERVEZA This cerveza is a sublime treat for those seeking a crisp and zesty flavour. Infused with lime zest, this pale yellow, Mexican- style lager boasts a tangy and bright taste that will transport you to the tropics and quench your thirst on a hot day. It's no surprise that the British Empire relied on citrus to stave off scurvy while travelling the world's oceans. Now, you too can enjoy the taste of the high seas in every can of our limey cerveza! Canada Alc/vol-5% HYPERION PALE ALE Hyperion, a beguiling and captivating world with tumultuous skies, worthy of both Mount Olympus and a Keatsian epic, inspires this ale and the pilgrimage on which it will take you. This medium-bodied ale pours with a light amber colour and has a complex flavour profile with notes of caramel, stone fruits and the tang of something citrus. Each sip will be like embarking on a journey of wonder and intrigue. Canada Alc/vol-5% "e funny names and graphics tell a little story of what's in the can." – CORY BARTELL As far as the experience of creating and running a craft beer company is concerned, it's been quite the three- year ride for Mont and Bartell and their families. "Our wives have been supportive and very understanding and have helped out in any way they can," Mont adds. "When it started, it was super fun and games, but as time went, building a brand became tricky. It became a lot of work and turned into a job for us." Even though coming up with mouth-watering craft beers is a serious venture — the industry is highly competitive, after all — Mont and Bartell will continue with their quirky, fun-loving approach. "As much hard work as it's taken to build our brand, it's also been very rewarding," Mont says. "We are really passionate about crafting unique, intriguing beers that pay homage to our favourite movies, books and TV shows and want to do it for many years to come." Full Geek Brewlab is located at 1180 Sanford St. in the Polo Park area, and their creatively crafted beers are available at most liquor stores and independent beer markets.
