Nothing Civil IPA

 The showpiece of  the impressively striking packaging of Nothing Civil IPA is a brilliant and powerful poem by Truth Is... The 473mL also features snarling dogs, handguns, batons and a broken chains. It ain’t subtle, but it is decidedly impactful. According to the copy, 100% of the profits of this 6.5% New England IPA go to Black Lives Matter Canada. When I saw Guelph’s Wellington Brewery tweet about this one, I immediately ordered a dozen.




Nothing Civil is a hazy dull-gold IPA. It pours with a sudsy off white head and boasts a sweet pineapple and citrus aroma. The beer kicks off with sweet and juicy vibes, packs in piña and tangerine notes, an apricot mid-range, and transitions into a dank and resinous hops finish.

More bitter than a typical NEIPA, Nothing Civil offers a big flavour profile alongside a philanthropic contribution to an important cause. I chose this beer to be my 4th Q good luck charm in the Raptors’ game three playoff matchup against the Celtics and it delivered a mighty miracle win!

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
