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 Still Classy Saison by Mascot Brewery at Mascot Brewery Beer GardenVery nice Saison that is dry and prickly and crisp and lemony and a bit peppery, just how I like ‘em.
- Greg C. is drinking an Italian Lager by Mascot Brewery at Mascot Brewery Beer GardenBetter than I recall it being at the old location, and it was pretty decent even then. Sweetness seems more restrained. Great herbal finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Twice As Mad IIPA by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinSuch a treat to have an IIPA 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.
