WHITEHOUSE, YK – As we reported back in February, Yukon Brewing was invited to participate in this year’s JDW Beer Festival, a cask ale event that takes place each April at J.D. Wetherspoon pubs throughout the UK. Brewer Alan Hansen flew to England and brewed a special batch of Yukon’s Lead Dog Ale at the historic Banks Brewery in Wolverhampton, England.
The Festival included a competition, with drinkers invited to vote online for their favourites, and Lead Dog ended up finishing second behind St. Peter’s Golden Ale. Congratulations to Yukon and Hansen for the great showing.
In other Yukon news, their Ice Fog IPA has been shipped to Alberta and should be on store shelves soon.

- Greg C. is drinking an Uninvisible by Thin Man Brewery at Cask Days 2018Well constructed wild ale with a nice hit of Meyer lemon. Elegant, and not well suited to a festival honestly. Needs more devoted attention.
- Greg C. is drinking a Gin Gimlet by Cascade Brewing Company (USA) at Cask Days 2018Phenomenal aroma of lime sherbet and juniper. Flavour is less intense but more complex. Lingering lime, odd & welcome hint of ginger.
- Greg C. is drinking an Export Stout - V4 - CherryBerry by Indie Alehouse at Cask Days 2018Don’t dig this as much as Ralph’s Nuts. (Never thought I’d write those words in that order...) Cherry doesn’t really mesh with the beer.
- Greg C. is drinking an Export Stout - V3 - Ralph's Nuts by Indie Alehouse at Cask Days 2018Holy schmoly! Aroma of rich chocolate syrup and cookies. Flavour follows - big & sweet & rich & chocolatey. Super duper sugar rush!
- Greg C. is drinking a Rage & Love Tangerine & Passionfruit by Rainhard Brewing at Cask Days 2018I don’t usually think of Rainhard as a sour beer brewery, but they do a nice job with them. Flavours are well integrated with this one.
Congratulations Alan
( St Peters is just working on a well known name, no class?)
