Brian Wilson's journey with Highlander Brewery has taken him around the province, working with fellow brewers and developing new styles. Starting 2009, Wilson began with a traditional Scottish Ale that still stands as one of Highlander's most popular beers. After a decade of brewing, Highlander partnered up with another brewing team to take their beer to the next level. Highlander's beers were crossing the province and leaking out into the rest of Canada. But in 2020, Wilson decided to get back to his roots, moving the brewery to North Bay and start on new styles. Now you can taste the fruits of his efforts, as Highlander Brewery moves onward and upward with new styles backed by traditional values of precision and respect for great beer. The Smoked Porter is one of Highlander’s originals with malts smoked over beechwood for rich coffee notes and hints of maple. Serves well at 8°C and can cellar for up to six months.
