ST. JOHN, NB – Moosehead Brewery is set to release Moosehead Cask Ale this week, making it the largest Canadian brewery in modern times to release a cask-conditioned ale.
Crafted by Mark Dobson, a brewer at Moosehead who previously worked for 16 years at Tetley Brewery in the UK, Moosehead Cask Ale is described in a Telegraph-Journal article as “deep-flavoured, hoppy, bitter and creamy.”
Following an invitation-only preview tasting at the brewery last week, Moosehead Cask Ale will be officially launched this coming Thursday, October 14th at the Saint John Ale House, where it will be available exclusively for now.

- 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.
