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 Farmhouse Brett by The Six Brewing Co. at The Six Brewing Co.Nicely balanced between fruity & funky Brett characteristics. Melon, Mayer lemon, touch of bandaid. Fairly dry finish. Good stuff!
- Greg C. is drinking an I Swear Sugarpants, It Was Your Idea 2019 by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinNot sure why there are separate annual entries for this beer, but I’ll go with it. Has cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla & cream notes as promised.
- Greg C. is drinking a Low Voltage by Powerhouse Brewing Company at King & DufferinClean & simple golden ale. Needs a bit more body to be a true cream ale, IMO, but still a well-crafted thirst-quencher.
- Greg C. is drinking a Ryevalry Roggenbier by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinFruity esters and sweet malt dominate, with earthy/peppery rye providing a nice backnote. Hint of banana bread as well. Nicely done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Chocolate Cheesecake Milkshake Stout by Rochester Mills Beer Co. at King & DufferinThe flavour delivers what the name promises. And like most cheesecake it’s too sweet for me personally. But I can still see the attraction.
