OTTAWA, ON – Big Rig Brewery is the latest brewery to jump on the fresh hops bandwagon, with a new harvest ale set to be released today.
Manotick Harvest Ale is a 5.6% abv pale ale made using freshly picked hops grown by Big Rig co-owner and Ottawa Senators defenceman Chris Phillips on his property in nearby Manotick.
Manotick Harvest Ale will be on draught at Big Rig starting today (Thursday October 10th), and will be available for on-site consumption and take-home growlers while supplies last.

- Greg C. is drinking a Kölsch by Burdock at BurdockAn absolutely bang-on Kölsch - crisp, clear, herbal, hint of bread crust, clean finish - and served in a proper stange. Gorgeous.
- Greg C. is drinking a Tropic Like It's Hop by Innis & Gunn at King & DufferinPassionfruit doesn’t really stand out in this, but it’s still a nice & refreshing pale ale. Would just like the flavour to pop a bit more.
- Greg C. is drinking a Chocolate Milk Stout by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinSeems like maybe the chocolate has been dialed back a bit, and that’s ok - it’s better balanced & doesn’t seem nearly as strong the abv.
- Greg C. is drinking an Icebreaker by Whitewater Brewing Co. at King & DufferinThe nuances of the Brut style still elude me, but this seems sufficiently dry with notes of citrus and green grape. Too hazy, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Summerweiss Tropical Wheat by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinI could be wrong, but the fruit flavours seem a bit duller this year. They’re still there, but are secondary to the weissbier notes.
