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 Kölsch by Burdock at BurdockAn absolutely bang-on Kölsch - crisp, clear, herbal, hint of bread crust, clean finish - and served in a proper stange. Gorgeous.
- Greg C. is drinking a Tropic Like It's Hop by Innis & Gunn at King & DufferinPassionfruit doesn’t really stand out in this, but it’s still a nice & refreshing pale ale. Would just like the flavour to pop a bit more.
- Greg C. is drinking a Chocolate Milk Stout by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinSeems like maybe the chocolate has been dialed back a bit, and that’s ok - it’s better balanced & doesn’t seem nearly as strong the abv.
- Greg C. is drinking an Icebreaker by Whitewater Brewing Co. at King & DufferinThe nuances of the Brut style still elude me, but this seems sufficiently dry with notes of citrus and green grape. Too hazy, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Summerweiss Tropical Wheat by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinI could be wrong, but the fruit flavours seem a bit duller this year. They’re still there, but are secondary to the weissbier notes.
