VICTORIA, BC – Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub has announced the release this week of a new beer described as being an “aberration of styles” inspired by the brewery’s rotating daily cask program.
Hopscotch Scottish IPA is a 6.4% Scottish Ale that has been “aggressively hopped” using Super Galenas hops.
Hopscotch will be officially launched tomorrow (Friday January 17th), and will be available on draught and in growlers at the Spinnakers brewpub, and in bottles at select liquor stores in BC.

- Greg C. is drinking a Venskab by Beau's All Natural Brewing Company at King & DufferinClose to 7 years old but still in great condition. Well carbonated, notes of pineapple and oaked white wine, dry & peppery finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wiseman’s Weizenbock by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinUpfront malty sweetness, notes of banana bread & raisin & cocoa & dried cherry, medium bodied, hint of booze. Well made & right on style.
- Greg C. is drinking a Heir Apparent by Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery at King & DufferinPepper beers aren’t usually my thing but this is an exception. Great balance to all the flavours and abv is not obvious at all. Impressive!
- Greg C. is drinking a Tripel Thread by Kensington Brewing Company at King & Dufferin11 months old. I tend to prefer my Tripels on the drier side, but this is still a pretty good one. Tart gooseberry notes cut the sweetness.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Callista) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot very familiar with Callista hops but they work well here, bringing notes of apricot, gooseberry, blueberry & a slight floral edge.
