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 Breaking Point by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinTicks all the boxes for the style - hazy, hoppy, juicy, full & soft on the palate. Hides the 8.5% very well. Nice stuff.
- Greg C. is drinking a Candle Burner by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinI’m usually not a fan of coffee IPAs - the combo rarely works for me - but this hits the right balance with coffee that’s fruity not roasty.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Ugly by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinDark & sweet Belgian ales aren’t usually my bag but this is a pretty good one. Notes of coffee, cocoa, dark cherry, bit of peppery yeast.
- Greg C. is drinking a Convergence w/ Strawberry, Rhubarb, Raspberry by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinStrawberry is there, raspberry and rhubarb less so. Base beer isn’t overly sour but still a nice tartness. Mellow but enjoyable.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hefeweizen by Northern Maverick Brewing at King & DufferinStill “notes of banana candy, bubblegum, hints of clove & lemon” as I wrote last time. But seems even better than before. Fantastic hefe!
