CALGARY, AB – The rumours we reported last week have been confirmed: Big Rock Brewery is releasing Big Rock Lime Light Lager today as a new summer seasonal. A press release issued yesterday indicates that the beer is a 4% lager that will be available in bottles, cans and on draught, with distribution in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
The press release also includes the following announcement:
Big Rock recently completed installation of their new pilot brewery, which will provide the brewing team even more creative latitude and result in some unique, colourful brews. Big Rock Lime Lager is one of many upcoming handcrafted seasonal offerings to come.

- Greg C. is drinking an Edelhell by Hacker-Pschorr at Otto's BierhalleI’ve been getting into a lager groove lately, mostly locals, but it’s good to revisit the classics once in a while. Prost!
- Greg C. is drinking a Mind On My Honey by Siren Craft Brew at Collective Arts BrewingAt Liquid Art Fest. Honey & smoky chilies in an Imperial stout sounds like a train wreck but this beer pulls it off beautifully.
- Greg C. is drinking a Proto 31: Imp Stout W. Cardamon & Tonka Beans by Brewski at Collective Arts BrewingAt Liquid Art Fest. A whole helluva a lot of cardamom up in here. That’s ok, I like that. Drinks frighteningly easy for its abv.
- Greg C. is drinking a Peanut Butter Jenkins by Thin Man Brewery at Collective Arts BrewingAt Liquid Art Fest. Full disclosure: I’m good friends with the brewer. But it’s still a big, tasty, chocolatey, peanuty stout.
- Greg C. is drinking an All Citra Everything by Other Half Brewing Co. at Collective Arts BrewingAt Liquid Art Fest. Yup, that’s a lotta Citra. Thick & deep & dank. Not something I want everyday but great for the style.
I have nothing against Big Rock, but although this beer is far better than Bud Light Lime – its a pretty sad effort. I understand they maybe did it in order to steal some market share from Bud Light and switch people over to their craft products – but man oh man is it gross. If you want a lime beer stick with Russell Cactus Lime.
