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 Forever Sparkling by Folly Brewpub at King & DufferinExpected bright & effervescent based on name so haze is a bit disappointing, but it’s delicious - pineapple, lime zest, mandarin & more.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hitachino Nest Saison Du Japon by Kiuchi Brewery at Sho IzakayaSweeter & fuller in body than I usually like for the style, but the yuzu and malted rice both add some interesting flavour characteristics.
- Greg C. is drinking an Elvis Juice by BrewDog at Henderson BrewingA beer called “Elvis Juice” should really be the best beer ever made. This beer isn’t. But it’s still a rather nice grapefruit-infused IPA.
- Greg C. is drinking a Vagabond Pale Ale by BrewDog at Henderson BrewingGluten free? Really? Honestly wouldn’t know if you didn’t tell me. Just a nice pale ale with a herbal/soapy note to the hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a Dry-Hopped Come What May by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinI described the original as “layered & complex, but also stunningly easy to drink.” This variant is all of that & even more. So very good!
