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 Cider by Tawse Winery at King & DufferinA simple but pleasant cider with a slight floral note and a clean & fresh finish. A well made crowd-pleaser.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic/Loral) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinHazy, juicy, dank & green - yup, it’s a Wizard Wolf. Mosaic hops are obvious, not as sure about Loral as I’m not too familiar with them.
- Greg C. is drinking a Switchboard Session IPA by Muddy York Brewing Co. at King & DufferinWhile the cranky old man in me would prefer less haze, I can’t find much else to fault in this. Lots of flavour with lowish abv - all good!
- Greg C. is drinking a Porch Pirate by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryNot as big & juicy as most NEIPAs, but still sufficiently tropical with good balance. Sometimes a bit of subtlety is appreciated.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (HBC 522) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinCitrus notes up front, herbal backnote with odd hint of cherry candy. An interesting hop strain, hope to try more beers brewed with it.
