VICTORIA, BC – A quartet of brewpubs in Victoria – Canoe Brewpub, The Moon Under Water, Spinnakers Brewpub, and Swans Brewpub – have announced the release of the third in a series of four beers under the Harbour Brewpubs Collective label.
Swift St. Orange Cream Ale was brewed at Canoe Brewpub, and is briefly described by brewmaster Daniel Murphy as follows:
A throwback to the pre-prohibition brewing era, Canoe’s version uses organic flavours to put a citrusy orange, radler-esque, summery spin on this classic style.
The beer is on tap at the four participating brewpubs. The final release in the series from Spinnakers will follow next month.

- Greg C. is drinking a Fresh Hop Ale by Northwinds Brewhouse & Kitchen at Berkeley ChurchAt Fresh Hop Fest. Undercarbonated, so body is lacking. Flavour has some nice blackcurrant notes but very tannic in finish. Not very good.
- Greg C. is drinking a Local Hoption IPA by Niagara Oast House Brewers at Berkeley ChurchAt Fresh Hop Fest. Another one where experience from past years shows. Light, crisp, almost elegant in its balance. Well done!
- Greg C. is drinking a Back Forty by The Second Wedge Brewing Co. at Berkeley ChurchAt Fresh Hop Fest. Can tell this isn’t the first year they’ve done this - crisp & clean pale with really nicely integrated hops. Excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Caledon Hills Hoppy Beaver IPA by Caledon Hills Brewing Company at Berkeley ChurchAt Fresh Hop Fest. Comes across as more of a pale ale than IPA but still well made. Balanced, notes of black currant & candied citrus peel.
- Greg C. is drinking a Last Minute Is the Best Minute Pale Ale by Redline Brewhouse at Berkeley ChurchAt Fresh Hop Fest. Undercarbonated & lacking a solid malt backing, so the hops come across a bit harsh despite not being overly bitter.
