We have a great selection of beers that is growing year over year. This includes well-known core beers and timely limited edition releases. The core beers we have available all the time - they're the favourites you can depend on. The limited edition beers give us a chance to present something fun, new, and exciting. Take a look below to see our current list, and join us soon to taste for yourself. Any of the retired beers will be candidates to return in the taproom once it's built.
CORE BEERS
Core beers are the beers that define who we are and what we brew. Makers of Beer Flavoured Beer isn't just a catchy tagline (even though it is), it is a philosophy we have that beer tastes great being just beer. Sure the flavoured stuff can be tasty, but shouldn't a brewery stand on the fact that it makes quality and tasteful classic beers first? Make good beer first, do mad science later. Here are the 5 core beers we make for those who love....beer.
Nefarious Plan A
Dry Hopped Yellow Ale
Our Nefarious Plan A is an aromatic hop forward light ale, one that is smooth, tasty, and easy to drink. It follows through with a balanced, flavourful, light grainy character, to a clean refreshing finish. The dry hopping gives this light ale an aromatic boost with notes of tropical fruits and citrus. Pairing well with practically anything, this thirst quenching ale is best shared with a friend.

Diabolically Decadent
Brown Ale
This beer is dark, delicious, and decidedly diabolical! This decadent treat of a beer is nice and malty, but also hoppy. Earthy hop aromas of pine and stone fruit up front blend well with flavours of Caramel, chocolate and espresso malts. The body is medium rich and well rounded, and finishes with a pleasant residual hop taste reminiscent of spruce tips. And it goes well with cookies.

Infernal Fusion Machine
Black Ale
Our Infernal Fusion Machine Black Ale is a fusion of a classic Irish Dry Stout and a bold North American Stout. It has the espresso flavours of roasted malt with the bold character of Maris Otter malt. The colour is deep black with hops enough to bind it all together. A devilishly delicious combination!

Limited Edition "Artist Series" Beers
Local Artists! Local Art! Evil plans! Let us reveal....Plan D.I.A.B.O.L.I.C.A.L.!
Dastardly Illustrators & Artists Bolstering Original Local Imagery & Crafting Artful Labels (D.I.A.B.O.L.I.C.A.L.)
Art on beer labels is not a new idea. It is however, a great idea and a great vehicle to support local art and artists. At Dastardly Villain we want to create new and interesting beers, and to produce some limited edition beers each year.
​
Featured here are our current and past limited edition beer labels. These and each forthcoming seasonal beer release will feature art by a different local artist. An amount of the proceeds from each can sold will go directly to the artist. As an artist of sorts myself, I've always been a supporter of art, so I'm super excited to start this project.
Are you an artist? Or do you know one who might be interested? Contact us and we'll review your art and consider a commission for a future beer label

Pilsner
Let's put the word Canada in front of everything and claim ownership of it! This is a Canadian Pilsner! It is made with Canadian Pilsner malt, which is grown and malted here in Canada. Like the original European Pilsner malt, you can expect delicate flavors of fresh barley, grain, honey, and bread, along with distinctive nutty character and suggestions of vanilla. We also use Canadian grown Sasquatch hops - a proprietary hop grown exclusively in our wonderful country. Sasquatch has distinct orange zest, tangerine and lemon floral notes, with a soft aroma and flavour. A world classic pilsner made with a definitive fruity Canadian twist. Go Canada! Elbows up! Drink Dastardly Villain eh!
This beer is a new concept for us - a truly collaborative effort with our supply chain. A Canadian Supply Chain! Malty notes of fresh grain & honey are provided by the Gambrinus Malting Pilsner Malt, from Armstrong B.C. Also from B.C. is Hops Connect, providing us with the Canadian exclusive "Sasquatch" hops, to give it an orange zest, tangerine and lemon floral character. This beer was brewed right here in Winnipeg at Oxus Brewing, 1180 Sanford St. And of course, recipe formulation and label design by yours truly - Dastardly Villain! 51st State – no way eh! 11th Province is more like it!

Attack of the Planet Smasher
S.M.A.S.H. - N.E.I.P.A.
This is a sequel to 2023's Planet Smasher - Pale Ale; one that expands our series of S.M.A.S.H. beers. S.M.A.S.H. is a abbreviation that means Single Malt And Single Hop. It is a method of focusing on two ingredients (other than added yeast and water) that really allows you to taste what the individual ingredients contribute to a beer.
​
Southern Cross Hops are dual purpose used for bittering and aroma, grown in New Zealand. It is a cross of Smoothcone "Cali" and Fuggle, released in 1994. Southern Cross, known for its bright citrus, tropical fruit, and subtle pine notes, brings a zesty essence to the brew without overwhelming bitterness. What makes Southern Cross so differential is its high Alpha acids and zesty essence. Most commonly used in Pale Ales, IPAs, and Lagers. Southern Cross is the name of a constellation of 4 stars, making it an appropriate choice for the Planet Smasher series.
Gambrinus IPA Malt is a strong and stable North American-made foundation malt for hop-forward West Coast IPAs and Hazy IPAs. It possesses an elusive colour falling between very pale pilsner and golden pale ale malt. Gambrinus IPA Malt provides a delicate balance of bready sweetness, toasty grain, and light nuttiness. Tailormade to complement contemporary West Coast IPAs, it provides balancing sweetness and body in the presence of piney, juicy, and tropical hop profiles. Delivering a delicate profile of bread, toast, grain, and slight nuttiness, Gambrinus IPA Malt is a workhorse base malt.
​
Attack of the Planet Smasher is a juicy, hazy New England IPA that highlights the vibrant character of Southern Cross hops and the smooth depth of Gambrinus IPA Malt. giving this S.M.A.S.H. beer a soft, pillowy body. At 5.4% ABV and 13 IBUs, it’s refreshingly smooth and easy-drinking, with a glowing golden haze.

A Necessary Evil
I.P.A.
(Wait....I saw this beer up with core beers above - what gives...you Dastardly Villains....)
​
It's true. (And see how we could read your mind through the web interface?) A Necessary Evil started as a seasonal beer, and got bumped up to core beer status, so it is represented here and there. Just like the marketing robots said it should be.
​
Anyways...IPA, the beer name synonymous with the craft beer movement. Go into any microbrewery taproom and usually the first beer on the menu is an IPA, and there will be more than one of them. There are so many variants of IPA in the beer world today - such as: New England IPA, West Coast IPA, No Coast IPA, Belgian IPA, American, Black, Brown, Red, Rye, White, English, Double, Triple, Quadruple, Brut, Milkshake, Imperial, Session, Sour, Fruited, Wet Hop, Dry Hop, and even Argentinian IPAs. But lets get back to basics. The first beer we should have created should have been a classic IPA. After all, it is a necessary evil to have in one's craft beer portfolio.....(update: and now it is!)
​
Indulge in our Classic IPA, a cacophony of Chinook, Centennial, Amarillo, and Strata hops. Teeming with citrus, pine, and tropical fruit notes, balanced by a sturdy malt backbone. This brew strikes a perfect balance between hoppy intensity and drinkability. Pouring a deep yellow/gold, crowned by a frothy head, it beckons with an enticing aromas of citrus, pine, and tropical fruits. Mmmmmmm....embrace the bold flavors. Embrace the Evil!
​
Doctor P.D. McDastardly is back! To bring about a new world order, you must first tear down the old one. And what better way to do that than with a giant multilimbed robotic Mechazilla! This is the essence of what is truly A Necessary Evil. A bold beer for a bold plan! After all, World Domination isn’t for the meek.

Steampunk Queen
English Dark Mild
Journey back in time with our latest concoction, 'Steam Punk Queen' – a tribute to the classic English Dark Mild. In the 18th century, the term "mild" was a badge of freshness and youth in the beer world. Fast forward to the 19th century, this style evolved into a beacon of malty goodness, loved for its subtlety and modesty.
​
This is a dark, low alcohol, British session ale suited to drinking in quantity. Mildly hopped, this malt focused, easy drinking beer has notes of toffee, coffee, raisins, and chocolate along with a dry roasted finish.
​
In your hands, you hold not just a beer, but a piece of time – a sip of history reimagined.
Look for the intricate design of our can, where Victorian charm meets modern boldness. Let's raise our glasses to a blend of past and present, tradition and innovation. Here's to the Queen of Beers – long may she reign!

The Evil Dr. Franc-N-Blanc
French Blanc
Evil Doctoring! It's a tradition that goes back to the time of creepy old castles and hunchbacks. Since Igor threw the first level and the monster rose to life, the collective will of mad scientists across the globe has been focused on making bigger, better, eviler inventions! And then came along The Evil Dr. Franc-N-Blanc!
Our second seasonal is a French Blanche, a virtual clone of the Belgian Witbier. Indulge in the allure of a hazy wheat beer with aromas of zesty citrus and a touch of spices. This light refreshing libation boasts flavours that are crisp balanced and smooth in texture, a slightly lower alcohol content, and a subtle bitterness. Raise your glass and savor the joie de vivre!
And just what is our evil doctor up to? Well just look at him, he has a can of our beer, some glowy balls of lightning and not one but two levers! You know it is no good, and probably pretty evil. He might not be Doctor P. D. McDastardly (now that's evil), but we are sure he will leave his mark on the Evil Doctoring World. And if he doesn't, hey, at least he left us great beer!

Planet Smasher
Pale Ale
It was a great plan......threaten the world leaders into a grand extortion scheme by smashing an asteroid into the earth. Yes our Trajectory Re-aligning Asteroid Deviator (T.R.A.D.) was working fine.....until N.A.S.A. went and ruined everything with their Double Asteroid Redirection Test (D.A.R.T.) program, and pushing it off course. Damned scientists! I'll get you N.A.S.A.!!!
This beer is a S.M.A.S.H. brew, meaning Single Malt and Single Hop. It is a fun way to play with a limited number of ingredients to really see what they do. When you taste the malt and hop profiles here, you know that you're tasting only one malt, and only one hop. Beer minimalism.
Using Gambrinus ESB malt gives this beer a unique British flavour, with robust bread, grain and cereal flavours with notes of honey and a mild nuttiness. The Comet hop is zesty with grapefruit and tangerine, but is backed by some unique grassy and herbal elements. Some brewers describe Comet's unique aroma as "Wild American"
