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 Darcys Poolside Grapefruit Lager Collaboration by Big Rock Brewery at King & DufferinQuaffable, crisp & balanced lager with subtle grapefruit notes playing nicely with the hops. A touch light on the palate, but that’s minor.
- Greg C. is drinking a Spruce Tip Pale by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryLate entry - had it with lunch earlier today. Prominent spruce notes that are well balanced with the clean & moderately hopped pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a Space Invader by Amsterdam Brewing Company (Canada) at The GarrisonLate check-in from the other night. Great beer as always. Amused when the wrapper peeled off & it was a Radler can underneath.
- Greg C. is drinking a Pilsner by Mill Street Brewery at Mill St. Brew PubPerfectly acceptable Pils. Front end sweetness lingers a bit too long, but hops eventually cut through for a good herbal finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinMostly wipes the memory of the awful Simcoe/Mosaic version. Less hazy, more carbonation, and better balance. This is more like it.
