CALGARY, AB – Big Rock Brewery has announced that a beer debuted last year as part of its 2013 Big Rock Swinger Pack sampler is returning for a solo run this summer.
Big Rock Purple Gas is a 5.2% wheat-based fruit ale that has the following description:
A testament to the combination of imagination and perfectionism, Purple Gas is a perfectly balanced, refreshing fruit beer. This summery brew harmoniously merges satisfying wheat ale with tart, fruity Saskatoon berries and is finished with a touch of blue agave nectar.
Purple Gas is available now in six-packs of cans and on draught throughout Alberta.

- Greg C. is drinking a Social Parade DDH IPA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingOh, that’s dank. And delicious. Lotsa grapefruit, some ripe peach, hint of spruce. Drinks dangerously quickly for the abv.
- Greg C. is drinking a Sitting Pretty APA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingDelivers the dominant citrus promised in the description, along with some pine and a peppery backnote, perhaps from the rye.
- Greg C. is drinking a Raspberry Lemon Rosemary Kennel Sour by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingStarts with raspberry, with lemon coming through in the middle, and rosemary sitting nicely in the finish. Super summer beverage.
- Greg C. is drinking a Li'l Hobo Hefeweizen by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingNot as hazy as I expect from the style - it’s more Kristall than Hefe - but the banana & clove notes are there, along with a bit of lemon.
- Greg C. is drinking an Interstellar IPA by Forked River Brewing Company at King & DufferinDidn’t really dig this. Hops seemed stale & lifeless despite it being relatively fresh, and there’s a heavy stickiness on the palate. Odd.
