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 Venskab by Beau's All Natural Brewing Company at King & DufferinClose to 7 years old but still in great condition. Well carbonated, notes of pineapple and oaked white wine, dry & peppery finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wiseman’s Weizenbock by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinUpfront malty sweetness, notes of banana bread & raisin & cocoa & dried cherry, medium bodied, hint of booze. Well made & right on style.
- Greg C. is drinking a Heir Apparent by Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery at King & DufferinPepper beers aren’t usually my thing but this is an exception. Great balance to all the flavours and abv is not obvious at all. Impressive!
- Greg C. is drinking a Tripel Thread by Kensington Brewing Company at King & Dufferin11 months old. I tend to prefer my Tripels on the drier side, but this is still a pretty good one. Tart gooseberry notes cut the sweetness.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Callista) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot very familiar with Callista hops but they work well here, bringing notes of apricot, gooseberry, blueberry & a slight floral edge.
