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 I Swear Sugarpants, It Was Your Idea 2019 by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinNot sure why there are separate annual entries for this beer, but I’ll go with it. Has cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla & cream notes as promised.
- Greg C. is drinking a Low Voltage by Powerhouse Brewing Company at King & DufferinClean & simple golden ale. Needs a bit more body to be a true cream ale, IMO, but still a well-crafted thirst-quencher.
- Greg C. is drinking a Ryevalry Roggenbier by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinFruity esters and sweet malt dominate, with earthy/peppery rye providing a nice backnote. Hint of banana bread as well. Nicely done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Chocolate Cheesecake Milkshake Stout by Rochester Mills Beer Co. at King & DufferinThe flavour delivers what the name promises. And like most cheesecake it’s too sweet for me personally. But I can still see the attraction.
- Greg C. is drinking an Union Pearson Ale by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinRecently reformulated & better for it. Strong citrus character, bit of pine, malt backnote. Reminds me of classic US IPAs & that’s good.
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.
