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 a Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
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.
