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 Wakaranai 4 Mixed Fermentation Lager w/ Sour Cherries by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyWell constructed lager with mild funkiness and subtle cherry notes. I was skeptical about this one but it all works well together.
- Greg C. is drinking an Umi Gose w/ Okinawan Shikuwasa & Sea Salt by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyAvoids the “super salty & sharply sour” trend seen in most modern takes on the style in flavour of subtlety and elegance.
- Greg C. is drinking an Otsukaresama Dortmunder by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyUnfiltered version at tap takeover. Not as bright & lively as regular version but more depth to the flavour. And still excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Fruited Dry Hop Sour by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinTypically good quality sour from CA, although as can happen with multi-fruit beers, the flavours are a bit lost amongst each other.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trash Panda by Parallel 49 Brewing Company at King & DufferinMore murky than hazy. Flavour is a bit muddled at first, but some nice fruit notes - peach, pineapple, mango - come through as it opens up.
