EDMONTON, AB – In celebration of their 15th anniversary in 2010, Alley Kat Brewing will be releasing a series of limited edition beers throughout the year.
The first is Alley Kat Smoked Porter, described as:
A robust porter using malt that we smoked at the brewery using applewood. The result is a classic roasty porter with smoky notes throughout the aroma, flavour and finish.
Alley Kat Smoked Porter will be official launched with a tasting at the brewery on Friday March 12th from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Only 250 cases of 650 ml bottles will be produced.

- 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.
