…a Canadian Craft Brewer. A companion to the very cool American version.
Fluffy
Last month, I crossed Monk’s Blood off my list of beers that I MUST try. After hemming and hawing, I added Nebraska Brewing’s Chardonnay Blonde to the Top 5.
There will be no doubt about what to replace Jack D’or from Pretty Things Ale Project, if I am lucky enough to snag a bottle. It will be this….
A hoppy triple. Two great styles that go great together.
Tree Brewing
Now that the Winter Olympics are over, we can go back to BC for beer. Here is one place to head to. Tree Brewing in Kelowna.
And the Raspberry Porter sounds good. “650 ml single bottle
5.0% AlcoholThe Raspberry Porter, takes the smooth dark chocolate character of the Spy Porter and adds a Raspberry twist.”
Pretty Things
I do my best to scour the interwebs for new beer news to bring to you all. And I also try to get a good cross section of beer news even though I am in Southern California. I found this tidbit on True Cask…
“One thing is for certain, Pretty Things is far from your average beer brand. They don’t own a brewery, nor do they contract brew their beers. Instead of the two standard situations they opt to rent a brewery and have the staff of that brewery ‘babysit’ the beer while they are not there. The result is a business model that is as creative as the brews they are selling. “
So I moseyed over to their website and it looks really cool especially St. Botolph’s Brown – This Yorkshire-inspired beer is a big malty brown ale fermented in open squares with Yorkshire malts and eclectic yeast strains. This is another of our year-round offerings.
Plan B Brewing
This is a Canadian nano-brewery. You can check out their current beers on their Facebook page. As I type this they have Revenge of the Pine Pale, McHugh’s Stout, and Nut Brown available.
Crannog Ales
For people who are near the Okanagan Valley in Canada (count yourself lucky)
“Crannóg Ales is Canada’s only Certified Organic farmhouse microbrewery, one of only a handful of such breweries in the world. We brew unfiltered, unpasteurized ales using only organic ingredients, some of which come right from our own farm. All our ales reflect the Irish tradition of brewing full-flavoured, complex ales which are also great session beers.”
This brewery is in the top three of beer sights to see. I love their ethos and passion. It is part of why I am drawn to beer. Brewers and drinkers alike have a passion that is just great to be a part of, very infectious love of doing great things. Plus they have a beer called Back Hand of God. I love that.
