CALGARY, AB – As first reported in April, Big Rock Brewery has added a new beer to their line-up: Gopher Lager.
Officially launched last weekend at the Calgary International Beer Fest, it is described by the brewery as follows:
You’ll find Gopher to have a bit more character than the average lager found on the prairies. We made it with Alberta two-row barley, choice imported saaz hops and special lager yeast. Just like all our other beers, it contains no preservatives, additives, or adjuncts. The result is a clean, crisp flavour with a nice hoppy flavour and aroma but with no bitter aftertaste.
Big Rock Gopher Lager is available now at bars and restaurants throughout Alberta, and will be on retail store shelves around June 14th.

- Greg C. is drinking a Space Invader by Amsterdam Brewing Company (Canada) at The GarrisonLate check-in from the other night. Great beer as always. Amused when the wrapper peeled off & it was a Radler can underneath.
- Greg C. is drinking a Pilsner by Mill Street Brewery at Mill St. Brew PubPerfectly acceptable Pils. Front end sweetness lingers a bit too long, but hops eventually cut through for a good herbal finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinMostly wipes the memory of the awful Simcoe/Mosaic version. Less hazy, more carbonation, and better balance. This is more like it.
- Greg C. is drinking a Half Way IPA - Across the Nation by Central City Brewers + Distillers at King & DufferinLacks the hazy appearance & lemony tang usually found in the style, but the wheat adds some lightness to this balanced old school IPA.
