VICTORIA, BC – Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub will be previewing their newest beer, Spinnakers Northwest Ale, later this week:
Inspired by the assertively hopped beers of the Cascadia region, this ale is brewed with pacific northwest hops balanced out with a strong malt body. Sure to please the hopheads out there.
The 6.2% abv ale will be available at the brewpub on Wednesday February 23rd in a cask-conditioned version dry-hopped with Magnum & Citra hops. It will return this summer on draught and in bottles.

- Greg C. is drinking a Kickin' Back by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinNew version is still on the thin side but has better flavour & more prominent hops. Notes of orange blossom & citrus peel. Refreshing.
- Greg C. is drinking an Infinite Offering by Kensington Brewing Company at Kensington Brewing CompanySubtle smoke. Juniper & white pepper & lemongrass. Back-of-throat dryness that encourages another swig. Complex but quaffable. Very good.
- Greg C. is drinking a Sour IPA W/ Lactose by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinDon’t usually like lactose in pale ales but this one works. Not too sweet or milky, soft body, great balance of tart pineapple & citrus.
- Greg C. is drinking a Mad & Noisy Orange Pale Ale by Creemore Springs at King & DufferinCall a beer Orange Pale Ale & I expect a good hit of orange, not a faint hint in a malt-forward pale ale. Not bad, but worse - it’s boring.
- Greg C. is drinking a Food Truck Beer by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinA malty and relatively sweet ale that is easy to drink and causes no offense. Not really my bag, but perfectly fine for what it is.
