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.

- 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.
- Greg C. is drinking a Too Wound Down by Bell City Brewing Company at King & DufferinI question the Session IPA classification given the fairly low IBU, but this is still a more than acceptable pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a RoboHop Imperial IPA by Great Lakes BreweryA modern classic of the IIPA style, at least in Ontario. Strong malt base supporting a blast of citrus, pine & tropical fruit hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a Camp-Out Pils (Moonlight Kettle Graduate 2019) by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinThe Motueka hops are similar enough to Saaz to fit this excellent Pils, but also have a citrus zest character that adds a unique edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinStrong fruit preserve notes - esp. pineapple & peach - that lean a bit sweeter than my preference, but still improved from early days.
This is definitely one of the best BC releases in a while. This is a great follow up to the Pot Hole Filler.
