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 Trappist Holiday Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & Dufferin1+ year old bottle. Aroma of port and spice, notes that follow in the flavour plus cherry & menthol. Some booze heat despite the age. Nice.
- Greg C. is drinking an Oude Geuze (Vieille) by Brouwerij Oud Beersel at King & DufferinNot as lip-puckeringly sour or mind-bendingly complex as some lambics, but still an old fave that I always enjoy.
- Greg C. is drinking a No Love Lost Sour Cherry Saison by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinDelivers what the name promises - a rather good Saison laced with sour cherry that is unmistakably present but not overpowering.
- Greg C. is drinking a Coffee Oatmeal Stout by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinSurprisingly good for a 20-month-old bottle. Coffee is still nice & punchy, good notes of chocolate, oats & nuts in the background.
- Greg C. is drinking a Dueces by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinPretty much a textbook IIPA with no especially distinctive qualities. Finish is a bit harsh, but could be evidence of the high abv. It’s OK.
