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 Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
