WINNIPEG, MB – In what has become an annual tradition, Half Pints Brewing is getting set to mark 7 years in business with a new edition of Humulus Ludicrous, a double IPA originally brewed as a 1st anniversary release in 2007.
The 8% abv hop monster will be launched on Saturday, August 17th at the brewery (550 Roseberry St., Winnipeg), where bottle sales will start at 9:00 AM and will continue while supplies last. A limited amount has also been set aside for retail distribution, and bottles will be available soon at select liquor stores in Manitoba and Alberta.

- Greg C. is drinking a When In Rome by Bar Hop at Bar Hop BrewcoFruit-flavoured stouts aren’t usually my kinda thing, but this is a good one. Berry flavours are very natural & work well with the beer.
- Greg C. is drinking a Steadfast by Tooth And Nail Brewing Company at Bar Hop BrewcoTicks all the boxes - dry roast malt, cocoa, hints of coffee & toasted nuts, bit of twiggy bitterness. A spot-on porter!
- 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.
