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 Kickin' Back by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinNew version is still on the thin side but has better flavour & more prominent hops. Notes of orange blossom & citrus peel. Refreshing.
- Greg C. is drinking an Infinite Offering by Kensington Brewing Company at Kensington Brewing CompanySubtle smoke. Juniper & white pepper & lemongrass. Back-of-throat dryness that encourages another swig. Complex but quaffable. Very good.
- Greg C. is drinking a Sour IPA W/ Lactose by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinDon’t usually like lactose in pale ales but this one works. Not too sweet or milky, soft body, great balance of tart pineapple & citrus.
- Greg C. is drinking a Mad & Noisy Orange Pale Ale by Creemore Springs at King & DufferinCall a beer Orange Pale Ale & I expect a good hit of orange, not a faint hint in a malt-forward pale ale. Not bad, but worse - it’s boring.
- Greg C. is drinking a Food Truck Beer by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinA malty and relatively sweet ale that is easy to drink and causes no offense. Not really my bag, but perfectly fine for what it is.
