VICTORIA, BC – Buckerfields Brewery, the brewery located in Swans Hotel in Victoria, have released a new vintage of their Legacy Ale in celebration of Swans’ 20th anniversary.
Originally brewed as a tribute to Michael C. Williams, the late philanthropist who spearheaded the revival of the area where Swans is located, Legacy Ale is an 11% barley wine aged on oak with Valencia orange peel.
Legacy Ale is available at the Swans Brewpub and other selected locations, including Vancouver’s Alibi Room.

- 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.
