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 Forever Sparkling by Folly Brewpub at King & DufferinExpected bright & effervescent based on name so haze is a bit disappointing, but it’s delicious - pineapple, lime zest, mandarin & more.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hitachino Nest Saison Du Japon by Kiuchi Brewery at Sho IzakayaSweeter & fuller in body than I usually like for the style, but the yuzu and malted rice both add some interesting flavour characteristics.
- Greg C. is drinking an Elvis Juice by BrewDog at Henderson BrewingA beer called “Elvis Juice” should really be the best beer ever made. This beer isn’t. But it’s still a rather nice grapefruit-infused IPA.
- Greg C. is drinking a Vagabond Pale Ale by BrewDog at Henderson BrewingGluten free? Really? Honestly wouldn’t know if you didn’t tell me. Just a nice pale ale with a herbal/soapy note to the hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a Dry-Hopped Come What May by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinI described the original as “layered & complex, but also stunningly easy to drink.” This variant is all of that & even more. So very good!
