Eleven Boat India Pale ale

Clearance Diver training is conducted on the west coast at Fleet Diving Unit Pacific. New clearance divers spend time training in surface supplied mixed gas diving to 100msw onboard YDT 11 or 11 Boat.
11 Boat is a west coast style India Pale Ale. Wonderfully drinkable at 5% ABV and 50 IBU, it lends to a bitter back end, slight malt backbone and wonderful hop aroma.
5 Bells Session IPA
4.6%
5 Bells is named after the rope/line signal that a diver will send or receive to the surface. The most common meaning and derived for the name of the beer is "I have finished my work".
5 bells is a sessionable IPA with a lighter hop profile than the typical IPA found on the market now. It has a slight malty backbone which balances the hops. It is a great beginner IPA and is brewed with an English ale yeast that gives it a dry finish.
Decompression Mild
3.5%
After a long bottom time it is necessary to decompress. Sitting at deco stops can be very warm and comfortable. Relaxing as you take your time to off gas.
Our Decompression Mild is throw back to English pubs when people wanted to relax after a hard day and enjoy a few pints. This Mild is malty sweet and glides over your tongue. Truly sessionable, it is as tasty on pint 4 as it is on pint number 1.
On the Bottom DIPA
7%
On the Bottom is a diver term. The diver will communicate with Topside aka the surface crew when they reach bottom by stating "On the Bottom".
The beer. It's a hazy east coast style IPA. Generously hopped with early and late addition hops and then dry hopped with an abundance of Cascade.
It has a bitter back end and delightful hop aroma and smooth mouth feel.

Tobin Bronze ESB is a dark copper colour with with a rich malty character and light hop bitterness. It's deep flavours will leave you wanting more.
The Old Buffer
5.5%
A discernible English Strong Ale named after my first Chief Boatswain Mate who was strong as an ox and tough as nails.
This wonderful brew is not for everyone. Only the most seasoned and crusty craft beer drinkers should attempt consumption of this incredible ale.
True to style, this artisanal ale doesn't disappoint. Sweet smells of dried fruit and toffee are amplified as you take your first sip and enjoy a taste like no other. The English hop variety keeps The Old Buffer firmly placed on lan
Chaos Stout
6.6%
This dark chocolate oatmeal stout carries a nice brown head with plenty dark chocolate bitterness in the back of the mouth with a full bodied feel and many complex flavour tones. It's dark, opaque colour is reminiscent of the visibility when diving 200 feet to the bottom of Bedford Basin.

Joyce's Boy loves his momma but is a huge fan of patio season too. This light, refreshing Hef is perfect for hot patio weather, campground days and enjoying while listening to great music.
