Kichesippi Beer Co.
Kichesippi Beer Co. is a brewery in Ottawa, Ontario.
The company produces two year round beers, a premium pale ale called Natural Blonde, and a dark ale called Kichesippi 1855. The company also brews seasonal and one-off batch brews, including the Wuchak IPA series, Heller High Water helles lager and Logger Pennsylvania porter.
Kichesippi Beer Co. began selling its Natural Blonde in kegs to restaurants and bars in the Ottawa area in April 2010.
April 29, 2010 was the first keg delivery to a restaurant.
Natural Blonde is made using three different malts and distinct hops.
The result is a blonde beer with 26 IBUs and 4.9% alcohol.
The beer has been brewed to be food friendly with a medium bitterness at the end.
On April 15, 2011, Kichesippi launched a dark ale called 1855, named after the year in which Ottawa was incorporated as a city. In honour of the launch, Jim Watson, Mayor of the City of Ottawa, poured the first official pint and proclaimed the day as "Kichesippi Beer Day in Ottawa".
