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 LAGERSHED Lighter by Shawn & Ed Brewing Co. at King & DufferinLight body, crisp on palate, balanced flavour with clean malt and herbal hops. Simple and quenching, just as a light lager should be.
- Greg C. is drinking a White Space Wheat by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinChamomile comes through, and a bit of coriander, but blood orange is barely there, just a hint in the finish. Base wheat ale is OK.
- Greg C. is drinking a LAGERSHED Valley Wheat by Shawn & Ed Brewing Co. at King & DufferinSeems to be in the German style, with notes of clove and banana, although both are a bit more subtle than usual. Quite pleasant, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Furlong by Indie Alehouse at King & DufferinMild funk, notes of peach & lemon, hint of peppery yeast, effervescent mouthfeel, herbal finish. Very, very nice!
- Greg C. is drinking a Digger's Wit by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinDelivers what it promises, i.e. An essentially on-style wit with a more pronounced citrus character from the lemon & lime zest.
