HALIFAX, NS – Garrison Brewing are making a slight name change to their award-winning Imperial Pale Ale, and will now be calling it Imperial IPA.
According to brewery president Brian Titus, the original name “seemed to have caused some confusion”, and that “having to continually explain that this isn’t ‘…just some pale ale’ & ‘yes, we do make an IPA actually’ was starting to wear a little!”
All future batches of the beer will feature a redesigned label with the new name.

- Greg C. is drinking an O-Pee-Chee Lager (Ides of January 2019) by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinSimple & balanced pale lager that served well to cut the heat of some spicy Chinese food. Sometimes that’s all you really need.
- Greg C. is drinking a Farmhouse Brett by The Six Brewing Co. at The Six Brewing Co.Nicely balanced between fruity & funky Brett characteristics. Melon, Mayer lemon, touch of bandaid. Fairly dry finish. Good stuff!
- 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.
