VANCOUVER, BC – Russell Brewing has expanded their distribution to Alberta for the first time with the release of their Cream Ale and Cactus Lime Lager in all Cactus Club Cafe locations, as well as distribution of the Cactus Lime Lager in Liquor Depot and Liquor Barn outlets.
According to Brian Harris, CEO, “This is a phased introduction of our product portfolio. We have been waiting until we had the production capacity to properly service Alberta and we are now in that position.”

- Greg C. is drinking a Put A Cherry On Hop - Across the Nation by Red Racer at King & Dufferin9 months old so hops have receded a bit, but the cherry notes are still there & have an interesting spiced character. Not very milky though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Breaking Point by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinTicks all the boxes for the style - hazy, hoppy, juicy, full & soft on the palate. Hides the 8.5% very well. Nice stuff.
- Greg C. is drinking a Candle Burner by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinI’m usually not a fan of coffee IPAs - the combo rarely works for me - but this hits the right balance with coffee that’s fruity not roasty.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Ugly by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinDark & sweet Belgian ales aren’t usually my bag but this is a pretty good one. Notes of coffee, cocoa, dark cherry, bit of peppery yeast.
- Greg C. is drinking a Convergence w/ Strawberry, Rhubarb, Raspberry by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinStrawberry is there, raspberry and rhubarb less so. Base beer isn’t overly sour but still a nice tartness. Mellow but enjoyable.
