CALGARY, AB & SURREY, BC – Two Western breweries have announced the release of new packages that make it easier for drinkers to enjoy their beers:
Wild Rose Brewery in Calgary will be releasing two of their popular draught offerings, WRed Wheat and S.O.B. (Special Old Bitter) in 6-packs starting this spring. This will expand the brewery’s year-round bottled line-up to six beers, as this new duo joins WRaspberry Ale, IPA, Velvet Fog and Brown Ale on store shelves throughout Alberta.
Russell Brewing in Surrey have recently launched a new sampler 12-pack, containing three cans each of their Extra Special Lager, Pale Ale, Honey Blonde Ale and Cream Ale. The Russell Premium Craft Collection is available now at select private liquor stores in British Columbia.

- Greg C. is drinking a Wakaranai 4 Mixed Fermentation Lager w/ Sour Cherries by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyWell constructed lager with mild funkiness and subtle cherry notes. I was skeptical about this one but it all works well together.
- Greg C. is drinking an Umi Gose w/ Okinawan Shikuwasa & Sea Salt by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyAvoids the “super salty & sharply sour” trend seen in most modern takes on the style in flavour of subtlety and elegance.
- Greg C. is drinking an Otsukaresama Dortmunder by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyUnfiltered version at tap takeover. Not as bright & lively as regular version but more depth to the flavour. And still excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Fruited Dry Hop Sour by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinTypically good quality sour from CA, although as can happen with multi-fruit beers, the flavours are a bit lost amongst each other.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trash Panda by Parallel 49 Brewing Company at King & DufferinMore murky than hazy. Flavour is a bit muddled at first, but some nice fruit notes - peach, pineapple, mango - come through as it opens up.
