Beau’s Lug Tread, official beer of Ottawa 2017.
TheΒ Lug-Tread Lagered Ale isΒ Beau’s award winning, flagship beer.Β “This tasty golden ale is top-fermented (like an ale) and then cold-aged (like a lager) for a lengthy period, giving it light ale notes complemented by a lager-like crispness. Like all Beauβs beer, Lug-Tread is brewed with certified organic malts and hops, and local spring water. Lug-Tread is multi-award-winning, and versatile enough to suit all seasons and every occasion.”
Ottawa 2017 will be an exciting time for Canadians all over and it’s with these types of announcements that makes us wonder with anticipation and excitement what other news will we be hearing in the months to come.
Cheers to supporting local companies such as Beau’s and being proud that they will represent Canada on such a huge platform!
