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 a Henderson Cup (Ides of February 2018) by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinNot a NEIPA, IMO - colour is too dark & it’s not hazy or juicy enough - but a decent IPA with citrus & blackcurrant notes & good balance.
- Greg C. is drinking a Canadaland Sour by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinNotes of lemon and sour peach, bit of unsweetened yoghurt. Light bodied, thin carbonation, medium length finish. Simple but not bad.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hopsteiner 360 by Brunswick Bierworks at King & DufferinComes across as a hoppy golden ale, but with clean lager crispness in the middle & citrus finish. Doesn’t seem as strong as actual abv.
- Greg C. is drinking a Buenos Dias by Beau's All Natural Brewing Company at King & DufferinLet’s be honest - this ain’t a gruit. It’s a summery gose-ish sort of thing with nice spritzy citrus flavour. And that’s just fine.
