Iceberg Beer, St. John's Newfoundland



It has been said by many brew masters, “water makes the beer.”

This refreshingly light lager is brewed with 25,000 year old iceberg water harvested from Newfoundland’s awe-inspiring icebergs.

The appearance is clear and golden, a gently hopped, light-bodied brew offering a clean, sparkling finish, crisp with no aftertaste.
