Rising Sun Yuzu Lager / Beer of the Month – May 2018

June 1, 2018/in Beer Of The Month, Events, Products /by Daniel Lee

#RISINGSUN

Originally dreamt up by Powell Brewery and Handtaste Ferments for a “This Sandwich, That Beer” throw-down event several years ago, this drinkable Yuzu Lager at 4.8 ABV% and a minuscule 8 bittering units is a crowd pleaser for this non-rainy month of May!  The slick mouthfeel from the black jasmine rice, and refreshing aroma from the yuzu, will keep the craft beer enthusiasts happy.  The clean yeast profile, and light body would satisfy the casual beer drinkers when they enjoy it with an order of nigiri, or a nice greasy slice?

May 2018 – Handtaste Ferments X Powell Brewery Rising Sun Yuzu Lager.

Pink Haze India Pale Ale / Beer of the Month – April 2018

April 29, 2018/in Beer Of The Month, Events, Features, Products /by Daniel Lee

#PINKBOOTS

The BC craft beer chapter of the Pink Boots Society got together in late winter to brew their 3rd annual collaboration brew Pink Haze India Pale Ale, to celebrate and equip women beer professionals! Don’t let the beer style, 48 IBU’s, and 7.2% ABV fool you. This is one aromatic, & yeast driven juice bomb that disguises the bitterness wonderfully while reaching maximum flavour and drinkability 😉

Stop Short Imperial Stout / Beer of the Month – February 2018

OSCURO | ARTESANAL :

?: @twinsailsbeer ✖ @backcountrybrewing Stop Short Imperial Stout w/ ☕, coconut, cinnamon, & cardamom.

?: Exactly as advertised; I find the malt & ☕ (integrated w/ the faint coconut notes), does the heavy lifting. The other spices are subtle on the finish.  This gently carbonated 9.0 % ABV brew goes down like a 6.5?

@superfluxbeer ✖️ @tacofinovan ✖️ @fourwindsbrewco

Diablo Cookie Porter w/ cinnamon, vanilla, salt, cayenne pepper, & ginger.

?: Sweet aromatics/taste up front, then a little tickle in the back of the throat. I find the unassuming umami-like mouthfeel binds all the flavours together into a cohesive beer.

P R E M I U M . I P A :

@strathconabeer ✖️ @superfluxbeer

“like this” #collabrewation IPA 

?: Super clean, but sturdy fruity + gentle resiny aroma & taste; lager like maltiness, but the dash of wheat gives it a bit of heft. If you’ve grown weary of hazy beer, this food pairing friendly brew is for you 😉

?: solid pop up shop setup ??
