REGINA, SK – Each spring, the Ale and Lager Enthusiasts of Saskatchewan (ALES) homebrewers club presents the ALES Open Brewing Competition – the largest amateur brewing competition in Canada – at the Bushwakker Brewpub in Regina.
One of the perks of taking the “Best of Show” award at the competition is the chance to have your beer brewed for commercial release at Bushwakker, and this past week, the 2014 winner was tapped for the first time.
Seems Legit Milk Stout was created by Alvaro Reyes of Surrey, BC, a member of the Vanbrewers homebrew club in Vancouver. Described as being “dark, rich, roasty, full-bodied and creamy,” the 5.9% stout was brewed in May and was aged for nearly 5 months before being tapped.
Seems Legit Milk Stout is available on tap and in growlers at Bushwakker while supplies last.

- 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.
