GRAVENHURST, ON – Sawdust City Brewing and craft beer destination Bar Hop have announced details of a sinister new collaborative beer that will be unleashed on Hallowe’en.
The Blood of Cthulhu is a 9.5% abv flavoured Imperial stout with the following description provided by Sawdust City:
After a long hibernation in his undersea realm Cthulhu has heard the call and has risen once again! With the help of our good friends at Barhop, we conjured up The Great Old One and created a beer in his honour. Brewed with a ridiculous a mount of malt and a mixture of raspberries, cranberries and tart cherries it expounds with flavours of rich chocolate and tart, mouth puckering fruit. It pours as black as the blood of a malevolent demi-god and throws off aromas of roasted malt, chocolate and fresh fruit.
The Blood of Cthulhu will be tapped on October 31st at the Sawdust City Saloon in Gravenhurst and Bar Hop in Toronto. A limited number of 650 ml bottles will also be released on the same day, available exclusively at the Sawdust City retail store.

- Greg C. is drinking a Too Wound Down by Bell City Brewing Company at King & DufferinI question the Session IPA classification given the fairly low IBU, but this is still a more than acceptable pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a RoboHop Imperial IPA by Great Lakes BreweryA modern classic of the IIPA style, at least in Ontario. Strong malt base supporting a blast of citrus, pine & tropical fruit hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a CAMP-OUT PILS Unfiltered by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinThe Motueka hops are similar enough to Saaz to fit this excellent Pils, but also have a citrus zest character that adds a unique edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinStrong fruit preserve notes - esp. pineapple & peach - that lean a bit sweeter than my preference, but still improved from early days.
- Greg C. is drinking a Streetcar Delay IPA by The Six Brewing Co. at King & DufferinFirst batch from new brewer Chris Tower still has the good balance of earlier versions, but with more oomph and bounce to the hops. Great!
