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 Hickson Porter Baltique by Brasserie Les 2 Frères at King & Dufferin2016 bottle. A bit oxidized but it works with the strong & malty beer. Dark caramel, coffee, burnt hazelnut, warm finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a 100th Meridian Organic Amber Lager by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinI agree with my assessment of the pre-organic version in Nov - it’s not as flavourful as in its early days. Perhaps even less so now.
- Greg C. is drinking a Bumo (Version IV) by Burdock at King & DufferinNotes of red wine, cherry wood, fruit gums, elegant funk. Pretty special stuff.
- Greg C. is drinking a Peach Uber by Nickel Brook Brewing Co. at King & DufferinMy lack of enthusiasm for peach beverages makes this my least favourite Uber. But that said, it’s still a very good sour. Just not my thing.
- Greg C. is drinking a Shirley Street Sorbet Sour by Lot 30 Brewers at King & DufferinUsually not a fan of the strawberry-kiwi combo, but it works very well here. Vanilla also gives a nice balance to the lemony sourness.
