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 Donkey Venom w/ Black Currant (2018) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinA good sour ale with a big hit of tart black currant. Showing it’s age a bit, with some leathery oxidization. But still enjoyed it.
- Greg C. is drinking a Translucidus by Folly Brewpub at King & DufferinLovely & lively beer with moderate brett funk and subtle tropical fruit notes. Finish is dry and clean.
- Greg C. is drinking a Barrel Aged Farmhouse Saison by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinThere’s a lot going on in this one - sharp & acidic tartness up front, some funk coming through, mellow oak, lemon & lime zest - very good!
- Greg C. is drinking an Oak Grove Barrel Aged Sour Ale by Bench Brewing Company at King & DufferinLooks a bit anemic in the glass - no head & lacks sparkle - and carbonation is also lacking. Flavour is good & as description promises. OK.
- Greg C. is drinking a Stone 09.09.09 Vertical Epic Ale by Stone Brewing at King & DufferinIn fine shape for 10+ years old. Oxidized, but we’ll carbonated, and plenty of chocolate, vanilla, oak & other notes promised on the label.
