VICTORIA, BC – Driftwood Brewing have just released their newest seasonal beer, Naughty Hildegard ESB. The label describes it as follows:
Brewed to honor Hildegard Von Bingen, a 12th century Benedictine nun who allegedly was the first to record the use of hops as an ingredient in beer. While this is open to debate, we like Hildegard’s style and we can’t imagine a beer without hops. This extra special bitter has lots of hops- Hildegard would be proud. We are! Cheers Hildy!
Naughty Hildegard ESB is available now via retailers in Victoria, and will be released in Vancouver on Monday, February 8th.

- Greg C. is drinking a Blurrryy by MERIT Brewing at King & DufferinCreamsicle notes to start, with grapefruit and pine sneaking up behind & coming on stronger as it warms up. Long bitter finish. Great!
- Greg C. is drinking a Hibiscus Sour by Side Launch Brewing at King & DufferinHibiscus & rosehip is a flavour combo I usually enjoy, and that’s def the case here, as both mesh well with the lemon-leaning base sour.
- Greg C. is drinking a Feels Like Friday by Royal Canadian Mead at King & DufferinBuckwheat honey sits in good balance on a cider-like base. But as with most hopped ciders, I question if hops are really needed in a mead.
- Greg C. is drinking a Daywalker by Rainhard Brewing at Duke's Refresher + BarSeems lighter than I remember in colour & body. Still packed with flavour though. Nice lingering lemon peel & pine notes.
- Greg C. is drinking an Edelhell by Hacker-Pschorr at Otto's BierhalleI’ve been getting into a lager groove lately, mostly locals, but it’s good to revisit the classics once in a while. Prost!
Had a taste already. It is a great English style ESB.
