CAMBRIDGE, ON – Grand River Brewing officially launched thier newest beer, Curmudgeon IPA, at a tasting event earlier this week where it was sampled alongside several other IPAs.
According to brewmaster Rob Creighton, Curmudgeon IPA was created using English Pilgrim hops for bittering and was finished with Fuggles, and checks in at 6.5% abv and roughly 70 IBUs. The label features a picture of Len Owens, the owner of Cambridge restaurant and pub The Golden Kiwi.
As with all Grand River beers, Curmudgeon IPA is available at the brewery in bottles and will be on tap at select bars and restaurants in Cambridge, Toronto and surrounding areas.

- Greg C. is drinking a Heir Apparent by Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery at King & DufferinPepper beers aren’t usually my thing but this is an exception. Great balance to all the flavours and abv is not obvious at all. Impressive!
- Greg C. is drinking a Tripel Thread by Kensington Brewing Company at King & Dufferin11 months old. I tend to prefer my Tripels on the drier side, but this is still a pretty good one. Tart gooseberry notes cut the sweetness.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Callista) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot very familiar with Callista hops but they work well here, bringing notes of apricot, gooseberry, blueberry & a slight floral edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a S.P.A. Special Pale Ale by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinQuite a while since I had this last & it seems to have improved. Overall character is that of an authentic malt-forward UK pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a Farmhouse Dark by Stack Brewing at The Craft Brasserie & GrilleSharp & sour up fromt. Bit of caramel malt but not much else behind. Thin body struggles to carry the flavour. OK but needs refinement.
