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 LAGERSHED Lighter by Shawn & Ed Brewing Co. at King & DufferinLight body, crisp on palate, balanced flavour with clean malt and herbal hops. Simple and quenching, just as a light lager should be.
- Greg C. is drinking a White Space Wheat by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinChamomile comes through, and a bit of coriander, but blood orange is barely there, just a hint in the finish. Base wheat ale is OK.
- Greg C. is drinking a LAGERSHED Valley Wheat by Shawn & Ed Brewing Co. at King & DufferinSeems to be in the German style, with notes of clove and banana, although both are a bit more subtle than usual. Quite pleasant, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Furlong by Indie Alehouse at King & DufferinMild funk, notes of peach & lemon, hint of peppery yeast, effervescent mouthfeel, herbal finish. Very, very nice!
- Greg C. is drinking a Digger's Wit by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinDelivers what it promises, i.e. An essentially on-style wit with a more pronounced citrus character from the lemon & lime zest.
