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 Cider by Tawse Winery at King & DufferinA simple but pleasant cider with a slight floral note and a clean & fresh finish. A well made crowd-pleaser.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic/Loral) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinHazy, juicy, dank & green - yup, it’s a Wizard Wolf. Mosaic hops are obvious, not as sure about Loral as I’m not too familiar with them.
- Greg C. is drinking a Switchboard Session IPA by Muddy York Brewing Co. at King & DufferinWhile the cranky old man in me would prefer less haze, I can’t find much else to fault in this. Lots of flavour with lowish abv - all good!
- Greg C. is drinking a Porch Pirate by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryNot as big & juicy as most NEIPAs, but still sufficiently tropical with good balance. Sometimes a bit of subtlety is appreciated.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (HBC 522) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinCitrus notes up front, herbal backnote with odd hint of cherry candy. An interesting hop strain, hope to try more beers brewed with it.
