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 Twice As Mad IIPA by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinSuch a treat to have an IPA that you can see through, and which tastes of bitter citrus & pine rather than sweet tropical fruit. #oldschool
- Greg C. is drinking a Super Lemon Hazy IPA by Incidents & Accidents at King & DufferinNot as much lemon character as I expected - it leans more herbal/grassy with some citrus zest in the finish. Not bad, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Red Racer After Hours Old Fashioned Pale Ale by Red Racer at King & DufferinNot keen on the slightly sludgy sediment, but the flavour is excellent & approximates an Old Fashioned remarkably well.
- Greg C. is drinking a Nordic Lager by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinA very good malt-forward lager with a respectable depth of flavour & nice herbal tones from the Angelica root & hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a Zodiak by Omnipollo at King & DufferinIn a review from 2 years ago I described this as “a straight-up hop-forward IPA” that was “old school done right.” That opinion stands.
