VICTORIA, BC – Hoyne Brewing has announced a wider release for a beer that was originally brewed for the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria.
Previously known as Empress Honey Wheat Ale, and now called Summer Haze Honey Hefe, the beer is a German-style wheat beer made with the addition of honey harvested from the Bee Garden at the Empress.
Summer Haze Honey Hefe is available now in growlers at the Hoyne brewery store, and in bottles at select liquor stores in Victoria and Vancouver. It also remains on tap in the Bengal Lounge and Veranda restaurants at the Fairmont Empress.

- Greg C. is drinking a Dubbel Entendre by Black Oak Brewing Company at King & Dufferin5.5 year old bottle. Noticeably oxidized but still enjoyable. Notes of dried fruit, baked apple, coffee, rye bread & dark malt. Warm finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Kindred Spirits by Innis & Gunn at King & DufferinSimple & solid robust stout with nicely integrated whisky & wood notes. Sweet but not overly so. Pretty well balanced, actually. Well done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Petrus Winter #9 by Brouwerij De Brabandere at King & Dufferin3 year old bottle. Notes of caramel toffee and autumn/winter spices. Oxidization and fairly light carbonation belie its age. But still good.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Blood of Cthulhu (2018) by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinUnlike other reviewers, the berries really pop for me in this year’s batch. And the booze seems less prominent. Great stuff!
- Greg C. is drinking a Mocha Porter by Granville Island Brewing at King & DufferinWell built combo of roasted malt, cocoa, coffee, with a suitably dry finish. No sticky sweetness as can sometimes happen with the style.
