VANCOUVER, BC – Fall is the season when breweries like to make pumpkin beers, and Granville Island Brewing is no exception.
Part of their seasonal Limited Release series, GIB Pumpkin Ale was released last week, and according to brewmaster Vern Lambourne: “Its earthy undertones lend a unique twist to this untraditional ale. With its burnt orange colour and roasted pumpkin and spice flavours, this ale reflects our city’s flavourful transition into fall.”
GIB Pumpkin Ale is available now at select government liquor stores on BC’s Lower Mainland, and at the Granville Island retail store, for $5.30 per 650 ml bottle.

- Greg C. is drinking a Breaking Point by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinTicks all the boxes for the style - hazy, hoppy, juicy, full & soft on the palate. Hides the 8.5% very well. Nice stuff.
- Greg C. is drinking a Candle Burner by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinI’m usually not a fan of coffee IPAs - the combo rarely works for me - but this hits the right balance with coffee that’s fruity not roasty.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Ugly by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinDark & sweet Belgian ales aren’t usually my bag but this is a pretty good one. Notes of coffee, cocoa, dark cherry, bit of peppery yeast.
- Greg C. is drinking a Convergence w/ Strawberry, Rhubarb, Raspberry by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinStrawberry is there, raspberry and rhubarb less so. Base beer isn’t overly sour but still a nice tartness. Mellow but enjoyable.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hefeweizen by Northern Maverick Brewing at King & DufferinStill “notes of banana candy, bubblegum, hints of clove & lemon” as I wrote last time. But seems even better than before. Fantastic hefe!
