HALIFAX, NS – Garrison Brewing is releasing its latest limited edition beer today, and as with last winter’s Spruce Beer, it’s a unique brew made with ingredients rarely used in modern beers.
Garrison Honey Lavender Ale is a golden ale brewed using local honey (from Smeltzer’s in Shubenacadie, NS) and English lavender (from Meander River Farm in Ashdale, NS).
After a sneak peek at the Seaport Beer Festival earlier this month, it’s available starting today at the Garrison retail store in Halifax, and at private liquor stores in Nova Scotia including Bishop’s Cellar, Premier Wines, Harvest Wines and Cristall & Luckett.

- 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.
