SQUAMISH, BC – Howe Sound Brewing is getting set to launch King Heffy Imperial Hefeweizen, the latest in their John Mitchell Series, named after the craft brewing pioneer and former Howe Sound brewmaster.
According to the brewery, King Heffy is a strong German Hefeweizen (7.7%) with a touch of banana and clove and a unique hop profile.
The beer is available now on tap at the Howe Sound Pub, and will be released in bottles on June 15th.

- Greg C. is drinking a Hickson Porter Baltique by Brasserie Les 2 Frères at King & Dufferin2016 bottle. A bit oxidized but it works with the strong & malty beer. Dark caramel, coffee, burnt hazelnut, warm finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a 100th Meridian Organic Amber Lager by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinI agree with my assessment of the pre-organic version in Nov - it’s not as flavourful as in its early days. Perhaps even less so now.
- Greg C. is drinking a Bumo (Version IV) by Burdock at King & DufferinNotes of red wine, cherry wood, fruit gums, elegant funk. Pretty special stuff.
- Greg C. is drinking a Peach Uber by Nickel Brook Brewing Co. at King & DufferinMy lack of enthusiasm for peach beverages makes this my least favourite Uber. But that said, it’s still a very good sour. Just not my thing.
- Greg C. is drinking a Shirley Street Sorbet Sour by Lot 30 Brewers at King & DufferinUsually not a fan of the strawberry-kiwi combo, but it works very well here. Vanilla also gives a nice balance to the lemony sourness.
This is definitely one of the best BC releases in a while. This is a great follow up to the Pot Hole Filler.
