TORONTO, ON – Great Lakes Brewery have announced the return of their seasonal Winter Ale for another year:
Inspired by the long, cold and seemingly endless Canadian winter, our Winter Ale is a true winter warmer. Handcrafted with specialty hops and malts, combined with generous amounts of cinnamon, honey, ginger and orange peel, this unique beer is brimming with flavour.
This year’s batch of Great Lakes Winter Ale will be launched with a special cask version to be tapped at the monthly Project X night at the brewery on November 11th, and it will be available at the LCBO in a newly designed 750 ml bottle soon after.

- Greg C. is drinking a Wakaranai 4 Mixed Fermentation Lager w/ Sour Cherries by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyWell constructed lager with mild funkiness and subtle cherry notes. I was skeptical about this one but it all works well together.
- Greg C. is drinking an Umi Gose w/ Okinawan Shikuwasa & Sea Salt by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyAvoids the “super salty & sharply sour” trend seen in most modern takes on the style in flavour of subtlety and elegance.
- Greg C. is drinking an Otsukaresama Dortmunder by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyUnfiltered version at tap takeover. Not as bright & lively as regular version but more depth to the flavour. And still excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Fruited Dry Hop Sour by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinTypically good quality sour from CA, although as can happen with multi-fruit beers, the flavours are a bit lost amongst each other.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trash Panda by Parallel 49 Brewing Company at King & DufferinMore murky than hazy. Flavour is a bit muddled at first, but some nice fruit notes - peach, pineapple, mango - come through as it opens up.
