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 an Icebreaker by Whitewater Brewing Co. at King & DufferinThe nuances of the Brut style still elude me, but this seems sufficiently dry with notes of citrus and green grape. Too hazy, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Summerweiss Tropical Wheat by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinI could be wrong, but the fruit flavours seem a bit duller this year. They’re still there, but are secondary to the weissbier notes.
- Greg C. is drinking a R&J's Das Haze New German-Style IPA by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryBeen a while since I’ve had a white IPA, and this reminds me how much I enjoy them. Helps that it gets the weisse+IPA balance just right.
- Greg C. is drinking a Divercity by Lost Craft at King & DufferinI liked this beer a lot in its original form as Pint Pursuits The Answer, and it remains a great Helles under its newer name & ownership.
- Greg C. is drinking an Unifeye by Lost Craft at King & DufferinA step up from most so-called “premium” lagers. Sweetness is kept in check & body is very clean. Nice finish, sharp & balanced. Well done.
