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 Bourbon Barrel Aged Dark Saison by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinPromising aroma with notes of spice, dark fruit, oak & vanilla. Flavour starts in the same direction but lacks depth and finishes light.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Holiday Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & Dufferin1+ year old bottle. Aroma of port and spice, notes that follow in the flavour plus cherry & menthol. Some booze heat despite the age. Nice.
- Greg C. is drinking an Oude Geuze (Vieille) by Brouwerij Oud Beersel at King & DufferinNot as lip-puckeringly sour or mind-bendingly complex as some lambics, but still an old fave that I always enjoy.
- Greg C. is drinking a No Love Lost Sour Cherry Saison by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinDelivers what the name promises - a rather good Saison laced with sour cherry that is unmistakably present but not overpowering.
- Greg C. is drinking a Coffee Oatmeal Stout by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinSurprisingly good for a 20-month-old bottle. Coffee is still nice & punchy, good notes of chocolate, oats & nuts in the background.
This is definitely one of the best BC releases in a while. This is a great follow up to the Pot Hole Filler.
