Handlebar Sessions SEASON FIVE

PÄTER

"I think that genre is a construct and it's not real, just like gender."

MOHSIN ZAMAN

"I have no training. So whatever feels good, whatever enters the brain and the heart and then comes out, that's kinda what it is..."

BENDS

"We're huge lovers of music. Two sound guys at a music venue, a bartender at a music venue, we've seen so many shows and we know what's cool and we know what sucks. So, we just don't wanna suck..."

Eastbound “Houndstooth” Irish Red Ale

Pouring a bright coppery red with a thick white head on it this malty ale is perfect for any pub session. Roasted malts bring notes of caramel and toasted rye with a little touch of fruit from the Irish Ale yeast. 


5.1%. 20oz.

Karbon “J.E.D.I” IPA

$9.5

A full-bodied hazy golden ale with fruity hop aroma and a sweet finish. J.E.D.I stands for “justice, equity, diversity, inclusion.” If you’re not down with that, you’re in the wrong place. 


6.5%. 16oz

Burdock Classic

$9.5

Lagered ale brewed with Ontario corn and pilsner malt. Our classic take on a classic beer - chill, pale, easy-drinking, and squeaky clean..

Bellwoods Ultra Premium Lager

$9.5

Crisp? You better believe it.
Cool? It’s perfectly chill(ed).
Refreshing? The epitome.

A clear choice in a sea of light, lagery options, Ultra excels on the taste buds and dazzles in glass.


4%. 20oz.

Woodhouse Nordic Pale Ale

$9.5

This Nordic Pale Ale is fermented at higher temperatures using Hornindal Kveik yeast, which creates citrus and tropical fruit aromas with hints of farmhouse character. Perfect with grilled pineapple guacamole - but we don't have that here...

5.6%. 473ml.

Town Square Wheels IPA

$9

Square Wheels don't work properly. This  Hazy IPA - with Citra, Mosaic and Idaho hops - does work properly. Because you won't work properly after a few. And then we'll send you home in a Round Wheels taxi.

5.2%. 355ml. 





Side Launch Wheat

$9

Hazy pale gold colour with a thick, foamy white head; enticing aromas of ripe banana peel, lemon zest, doughy bread, clove and a hint of coriander; on the palate it is light bodied and moderately carbonated, with crisp flavours of freshly squeezed citrus fruit, banana and clove.


5.3% 473ml.

Guinness

$9

Look, no shade, we all have blind spots in life. For example, one of our staff has never seen “The Sound of Music." It’s the person writing this caption. How widely seen is that movie nowadays anyway? Stop giving me grief for never spending three hours with the Von Trapp Family!


My point is that people probably expect you to know what a Guinness is. It’s OK if you don’t. Guinness is a stout. Have a great day. 


 4.2%. 500ml.

Revel Sidro Cider

It's a UK style cider with a gentle kiss of natural apple sugars to balance the acidity and soft tannins. 


5.8%. 473ml.

Sodie - Strawberry + Basil Seltzer

$8.5

Like drinking summer in a can, perfect on a sun-drenched patio — or anywhere really


 4%. 355ml.

Wilda Dry Hopped Honey Brew

$9

Poor gluten-free people. Whenever they go into a bar, their options are cider or kinda rubbish beer. Not at Handlebar, baby! "Feels Like Friday" mead has been added to the fridge. It’s basically honey, water and yeast, and is a gluten-free alternative to beer.
