We were ready for another new brewery to try so after a quick search, Fuggles & Warlock was the chosen one. It's located in a random Richmond industrial area beside Chocxo Chocolate Cafe.
We dropped in on a Monday afternoon (around 3:00pm). Cool that they have a bike only parking rack. There's lots of seating inside and out on the patio. A couple TV's were playing sports/golf but in one corner, there's old school video games! One had Nintendo Gamecube (8 games), the other old school (think Pac man and other oldies). In another corner, there's a stash of board games and crib. Totally used those.
Monday and Tuesday specials are $1.00 off 1L ($7.00 regular) and $2.00 off 2L ($12.00 regular) growlers. Too bad their growler fills are limited to 6 options. The one we wanted wasn't available.
There were 8 flavours on tap so we decided to go all out and try them all. The flights come in a fun wooden box with magnetized labels.
There's also a small food menu (sandwiches, pizza rolls, pies, tourtière, charcuterie, samosas, pretzels, etc.). Friday and Saturdays, there's Japanese curry that's cooked with one of their beers.
They had a mix of merchandise (hats, t-shirts, hoodies, glassware, postcards, beer jelly (different!), etc.). Love their #fuglife hashtag and tag line: weird but good weird. They also had some clever beer design/artwork (draft punk rye IPA).
Trip #1
- 2x Rack ($8.00 for 4) - first flight had black currant sour, strawberry wit, coffee pilsner and pixel pils. The second flight had personas, destiny IPA, Icarus mosaic saison and bean me up. Our favourite was hands down the black currant sour followed by the strawberry wit. Both coffee beers were good but not sure if we could drink more than a sleeve. Mosaic saison was also decent. The other three we didn't care for, especially the personas.
- Kiwami plum sour ($6.75 bomber) - this one is super popular. They only had it in a bottle so we bought one for home.
Trip #2
Second time around, we decided to share a rack.
- Rack ($8.00 for 4) - strawberry wit, destiny IPA, Kiwami plum sour and pears in white satin imperial pear kolsch. The plum sour was easily the favourite. Imperial pear kolsch sounded great but the pear was way too subtle.
Love the chill vibes at F&W. Wish they had more of their sour beers on tap!
