VANCOUVER, BC – Granville Island Brewery has announced the release of this year’s edition of Lions Winter Ale, and for the first time, it’s been made available in cans as well as bottles.
The annual favourite is described by the brewery as follows:
Our Lions Winter Ale combines premium malt with aromatic specialty hops. The vanilla-like finish of this robust ale is a great excuse to get out of the cold and enjoy BC’s favourite winter beer made from the finest natural ingredients.
In addition to being available on its own, Lions Winter Ale is also featured in both the bottle and can versions of this year’s Granville Island Winter Mingler mixed 12-pack alongside year-round Granville Island brands Island Lager, Gastown Amber Ale and English Bay Pale Ale.

- Greg C. is drinking an Edelhell by Hacker-Pschorr at Otto's BierhalleI’ve been getting into a lager groove lately, mostly locals, but it’s good to revisit the classics once in a while. Prost!
- Greg C. is drinking a Mind On My Honey by Siren Craft Brew at Collective Arts BrewingAt Liquid Art Fest. Honey & smoky chilies in an Imperial stout sounds like a train wreck but this beer pulls it off beautifully.
- Greg C. is drinking a Proto 31: Imp Stout W. Cardamon & Tonka Beans by Brewski at Collective Arts BrewingAt Liquid Art Fest. A whole helluva a lot of cardamom up in here. That’s ok, I like that. Drinks frighteningly easy for its abv.
- Greg C. is drinking a Peanut Butter Jenkins by Thin Man Brewery at Collective Arts BrewingAt Liquid Art Fest. Full disclosure: I’m good friends with the brewer. But it’s still a big, tasty, chocolatey, peanuty stout.
- Greg C. is drinking an All Citra Everything by Other Half Brewing Co. at Collective Arts BrewingAt Liquid Art Fest. Yup, that’s a lotta Citra. Thick & deep & dank. Not something I want everyday but great for the style.
