WINNIPEG, MB – Half Pints Brewing have announced that their Sweet Nikki Brown will be hitting shelves in Alberta this week. Here’s a description from owner/brewmaster David Rudge:
It’s an American Brown Ale brewed for my lovely wife, Nicole. Lots of up front, dark chocolate malt notes, with a snappy grapefruit hop aroma from a liberal Centennial dry hopping.
The bottle reads: “A little sweet and a little bitter, just like my wife.” So true…

- Greg C. is drinking a Space Invader by Amsterdam Brewing Company (Canada) at The GarrisonLate check-in from the other night. Great beer as always. Amused when the wrapper peeled off & it was a Radler can underneath.
- Greg C. is drinking a Pilsner by Mill Street Brewery at Mill St. Brew PubPerfectly acceptable Pils. Front end sweetness lingers a bit too long, but hops eventually cut through for a good herbal finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinMostly wipes the memory of the awful Simcoe/Mosaic version. Less hazy, more carbonation, and better balance. This is more like it.
- Greg C. is drinking a Half Way IPA - Across the Nation by Central City Brewers + Distillers at King & DufferinLacks the hazy appearance & lemony tang usually found in the style, but the wheat adds some lightness to this balanced old school IPA.
