WINNIPEG, MB – Inspired by accusations by “beer knurds” that they had “sold out” by releasing St. James Pale Ale, a mainstream golden ale that has become the brewery’s top seller, Half Pints Brewing are preparing the jokingly named $ellout $tout for release in the new year.
Set to be put on sale only at the brewery on January 16th, 2010 – a date which is also the 35th birthday of Half Pints owner/brewer David Rudge – $ellout $tout is an imperial stout brewed with jaggery (a type of unrefined cane sugar) that is currently being aged in wooden barrels. It will be available exclusively in 660 ml bottles featuring a label designed by Darren Merinuk, a Winnipeg artist known for designing posters for local concerts.

- Greg C. is drinking an Uninvisible by Thin Man Brewery at Cask Days 2018Well constructed wild ale with a nice hit of Meyer lemon. Elegant, and not well suited to a festival honestly. Needs more devoted attention.
- Greg C. is drinking a Gin Gimlet by Cascade Brewing Company (USA) at Cask Days 2018Phenomenal aroma of lime sherbet and juniper. Flavour is less intense but more complex. Lingering lime, odd & welcome hint of ginger.
- Greg C. is drinking an Export Stout - V4 - CherryBerry by Indie Alehouse at Cask Days 2018Don’t dig this as much as Ralph’s Nuts. (Never thought I’d write those words in that order...) Cherry doesn’t really mesh with the beer.
- Greg C. is drinking an Export Stout - V3 - Ralph's Nuts by Indie Alehouse at Cask Days 2018Holy schmoly! Aroma of rich chocolate syrup and cookies. Flavour follows - big & sweet & rich & chocolatey. Super duper sugar rush!
- Greg C. is drinking a Rage & Love Tangerine & Passionfruit by Rainhard Brewing at Cask Days 2018I don’t usually think of Rainhard as a sour beer brewery, but they do a nice job with them. Flavours are well integrated with this one.
