History of the Future
A Chronological Telling of the Building of The World's Best Evil Small Brewery as Seen Through the Quantum Flux Temporal Stasis Generator.
​Makers of Beer Flavoured Beer
This modern era has shown us that humankind has strayed far away from the traditional pursuits of fine craft brewing. Make good beer and they will come, that is our belief. These new fangled modern beers with their laboratory derived synthetic flavours are strange obsure deviants from the accepted norm. The time to remedy this is now. Time to drink real beer with real beer flavour!​​​

ATTACK OF THE PLANET SMASHER
Our global crushing sequel to Planet SMASHer Pale Ale, Attack of the Planet SMASHer N.E.I.P.A. is the second of our S.M.A.S.H series (Single Malt and Single Hop). This time we utilized some of Canada's finest malt - Gambrinus IPA malt, and the galactic Southern Cross hops. It is not too bitter, but packs a wallop of flavour!
2025, and the world goes crazy...
...RIPE FOR WORLD DOMINATION!
All we need is a massive supply of rockets, control of the media, and giant robots! I know someone else who has 2 out 3. But we have Mechagodzilla, so we win! Plus our plan for World Domination also includes award winning craft beer. Plans are proceeding according to....plan.

WE'RE BIG SHINY HEROES
Well, big shiny villains anyways. Here comes the first wave of brewing equipment! Still months away from being able to actually use it, it is nice to see these beautiful shiny tanks sitting in their new home - our future brewery.

HEAVY METAL MANIACS
More medals! Okay, maybe this is too many medal pics, but today we won 4 of them. Yep, 4. Diabolically Decadent Brown Ale got gold (now its 3rd), Infernal Fusion Machine won a silver medal, as did The Evil Dr. Franc-N-Blanc, and Red Planet Rocketeer Red Ale got a bronze.

DIABOLICAL NATIONAL WIN
Our dark beers reign supreme! Diabolically Decadent Brown Ale wins its first Canada Beer Cup medal. This is the first national level win for our flagship Brown Ale. It is big, bold, flavourful, malty and hoppy. You know this. Now Canada does too. Yet still only available here in Winnipeg.

JUST THE BEAR NECESSITIES
It's a bear in an airship, so would that make it a "Bearship"? Trust us, we've asked this question while formulating Seasonal Beer (Bear) #5. A light, refreshing, classic, German Kolsch. What else says Kolsch like a Tommy gun wielding bear pirate captain? And check out the raccoon.
2024, June 3
MECHAGODZILLA IS UNLEASHED
Evil geniuses are easily bored and often turn to building giant robots of doom and destruction. Its A Necessary Evil. And seasonal beer #4 is a damned tasty classic I.P.A., West Coast style. Big, hoppy, bitter, and like Mechagodzilla, sure to leave a lasting impression.

WHO DOES NUMBER 2 WORK FOR?!?!
We're #2! We're #2! How about that? Being number two in all of Canada is no small accomplishment. Untappd, is the world's most popular beer rating app. So we really have you, our fans to thank for this. We already got #1 for the prairies, so #2 nationwide feels good. Come, join the dark side.....

THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED
The master of Dark beer has done it again - this time with Steampunk Queen - English Dark Mild. Seasonal beer #3. With an easy drinking alc./vol. of 3.5% (as it should be) we prove a light beer can have real flavour.

PLAN A IS FOR ASTEROID
It was a great plan. So great that we named our first beer after it. 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 (D.A.R.T.) program, and pushing it off course. Damned scientists! I'll get you N.A.S.A.!!!!
2022, June 6
RED PLANET ROCKETEER
Of course, we’re going to build rockets! And we’ll get them to Mars before Elon Musk does. Who do you trust more, Mr. Twitterface or distinguished geniuses like us! And besides our red ale is redder than the red planet itself!

BASIC ALCHEMY - WE MADE GOLD FROM BEER!
While Alchemy has always been a pursuit of Doctor P.D. McDastardly, this time he has succeeded in turning beer into gold. Yes, his secret recipe for Diabolically Decadent Brown Ale has earned a Gold Medal for the AHA sanctioned Prairie Beer Awards. Congrats Doc!

SINISTER INTENTIONS
Our Sinister Intentions New England I.P.A. is an ale that is hazy in appearance, bursting with aromas and flavours of luscious stone fruit and tropical fruit forward hoppiness. The taste is juicy, creamy and rich without being sweet. It finishes soft and smooth and lingers dreamily on the palate enticing you to have another sip!
2022, FEBRUARY 14
INFERNAL FUSION MACHINE
Herald the release of our 3rd beer, making our offerings look more like a proper product line. Our Black Ale (stout) is as dark as Dr. P. D. McDastardly's Hat (and much, much tastier).

Starting off
A New Year and a new plan for Evil Brewing arises! The year of the Virus is waning, the year of the Villain is rising! Winnipeg Manitoba gets its newest Evil Corporation with the creation of Dastardly Villain Brewing Company.
2020
The Farce Awakens
A yes, the worst year in recent memory, this is clearly indisputable. It is the perfect time to launch our evil plans and register the name Dastardly Villain with the local authorities and constabulary. The new electric powered information dissemination contrivance, known in this future modern age as the world wide web, is a suitable vehicle from which to launch our new global takeover initiative.

The Time Machine - The Future is Back
A new age from which to launch our glorious endeavors. Arriving in the future age to see that electricity has indeed caught on and powers all kinds of devices from the mundane to the fantastical. However our Temporal Flux Displacement Apparatus (ie Time Machine) is irrevocably damaged. This new future holds many opportunities to separate the great unwashed masses from their monetary holdings!

Warm Up the Temporal Flux Displacement Apparatus
To the Future, and beyond. Sensing the gaining traction of the temperance movement, plans are made to travel to a new destination to procure an environment that is not a threat to alcohol production. Our genius decides it is not "where", but "when" and invents the Temporal Flux Displacement Apparatus.
1882
McDastardly invents the World's Best Beer​
Sure there was beer before, and there will be beer again, but for the first time in history, the worlds most delicious beer existed. If not for the confounded Temperance Libation Liberation Front destroying McDastardly's secret fermentation laboratory, there would have been no need to go into hiding.
