OTTAWA, ON – Recently opened Ottawa brewery Dominion City Brewing has announced the launch of a new series of limited edition beers, with the first being released at the brewery this past weekend.
Kicking off the Terroir Series is Land Is Strong Wet-Hopped Belgian IPA, a 8% abv and 92 IBU strong ale described as follows:
Loaded with fresh-picked, never-dried Cascade hop flowers from the bines of a family-run hop farm near Campbellford, ON; this beer balances banana and clove Belgian character against sticky, malty goodness. It’s topped with earthy hop aroma, made possible by the dedicated hands that picked and delivered the cones from farm to kettle on the same day.
Land Is Strong was sold at the Dominion City bottle shop and Friday and Saturday, and remaining stock – if any – will be available when the shop opens again this coming weekend.

- Greg C. is drinking an Ice Cider by Spirit Tree Estate Cidery at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Lacks the complexity of top notch ice ciders, but has a nice sweet-sour green apple thing going on.
- Greg C. is drinking an Emperor Norton by Almanac Beer Company at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Old bottle but still in pretty good nick - apricot meshes well with the strong Belgian-ish ale. I dig it.
- Greg C. is drinking a Mature Situations by Goose Island Brewhouse Toronto at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Everything noted in the description - honey, blackberry, lemon, Pinot Noir - is there in great balance. Nicely done.
- Greg C. is drinking a 21st Century Means by Stillwater Artisanal at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Not sure what they’re going for here. Malty amber ale crossed with dry & peppery farmhouse beer? It’s... weird.
- Greg C. is drinking a Ruby by Burdock at The Kay Gardner Beltline TrailSplit at tasting. Another great saison-wine hybrid from Burdock. Lots of berry & fruit-forward wine notes. Summery & refreshing.
