SQUAMISH, BC – This year’s edition of Father John’s Winter Ale from Howe Sound Brewing is now available.
Described as “a rich, malty seasonal ale […] made with 4 different types of malts, Nugget and Hallertau hops, and a complex blend of spices,” Father John’s is named after John Mitchell, the original brewmaster at Howe Sound, and one of the pioneers of Canada’s craft brewing industry.
Father John’s Winter Ale is available in 1 litre bottles, and on draught at select licensed establishments. It will remain available until the end of January.

- Greg C. is drinking a Jelly Kiss by Bellwoods Brewery at Bellwoods BreweryExcellent mash-up of the two beers - light, tart, slightly salty - and passionfruit is a perfect addition. Could drink gallons of this!
- Greg C. is drinking a Bretty Bates II by Shacklands Brewing Company at King & DufferinLaidback funkiness, dark berries, red wine, wood - not sure if it was barrel aged, but it certainly tastes like it. Nice long finish.
- 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.
