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 Barn Owl (No. 18) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinGood balance of tart passionfruit & mildly funky sour ale, with supporting notes of oak, lemon, stonefruit & pineapple. Sharp & satisfying.
- Greg C. is drinking a Social Parade DDH IPA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingOh, that’s dank. And delicious. Lotsa grapefruit, some ripe peach, hint of spruce. Drinks dangerously quickly for the abv.
- Greg C. is drinking a Sitting Pretty APA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingDelivers the dominant citrus promised in the description, along with some pine and a peppery backnote, perhaps from the rye.
- Greg C. is drinking a Raspberry Lemon Rosemary Kennel Sour by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingStarts with raspberry, with lemon coming through in the middle, and rosemary sitting nicely in the finish. Super summer beverage.
- Greg C. is drinking a Li'l Hobo Hefeweizen by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingNot as hazy as I expect from the style - it’s more Kristall than Hefe - but the banana & clove notes are there, along with a bit of lemon.
