Flagship BrandFORGOTTEN LAKE
BLUEBERRY ALE

ABV 7.1% | IBU 13 | SRM 16

Brewed with actual blueberries. Hidden in the Lake of the Woods region on a small back lake there exists patches of berries usually reserved for black bears and moose (a moose once bit my sister…). This beer is subtle with a clear fruity nose. Muted blueberry, low bitterness and medium body. Although high in ABV, its finish is smooth and well-balanced.

SERIOUSLY SMOOTH WITH A KICK

Yep it's 7.1% ABV... but you'd never know it.

The addition of blueberries in this strong ale adds a refreshing fruit element. Light purple amber color with a light foamy head. Aromas show clean sweet malt, tree fruit and herbal notes with a subtle blueberry background. Medium body, bready malt and citrus flavors are enhanced by a delicate blueberry sweetness on finish.

WE USE REAL BLUEBERRIES

No artificial flavours here!

Forgotten Lake is brewed with 100% real blueberries which are added to the aging tank. If the berries were added during the boil, the beer would end up being too sweet for our likes. This beer has subtle blueberry notes… it is not overly sweet and it is smooth and well balanced for being 7.1%. Like a black bear or a moose, this beer will sneak up on you if you’re not careful.

FORGOTTEN LAKE IS A REAL LAKE

...and it's a pretty cool spot to visit.

45 minutes north of Kenora you’ll find a small off-the-beaten-path lake which is the namesake for this beer. Forgotten lake was once a secret blueberry picking spot for one of our owners. The rocky landscape is perfect for low-lying blueberry bushes… A word of warning… where there are blueberries, there are black bears. Stay alert and remember, you don’t have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun your friends. 😉
