VICTORIA, BC – Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub has announced in its latest newsletter that its annual holiday beer will soon be returning.
Spinnakers Festive Saison is a 5.5% abv saison that features a new label this year, as well as a new recipe. It’s described as “a light, spicy table saison brewed with just a hint of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg and cloves, evoking a classic holiday pudding.”
Festive Saison will be available later this month on draught and in growlers at the Spinnakers brewpub, and in bottles at select liquor stores in BC.

- 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!
- Greg C. is drinking a Rhubarb Saison by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinAs when I first tried it in 2017, I don’t find much rhubarb in this beer. But it’s a nice - albeit fairly simple - saison that refreshes.
- Greg C. is drinking a TONNE (Bottle-Conditioned) by Great Lakes Brewery at King & DufferinEvidence of barrel aging is nicely presented via notes of white wine & touches of oak & funk. Finish is dry & masks high abv very well.
- Greg C. is drinking a South Etobicoke Brewers Collab #1 by Great Lakes Brewery at King & DufferinTropical fruit cocktail, juicy grapefruit & tangerine, a touch of pine - basically everything expected from a great NE pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a Meanwhile... Down In Moxee by Great Lakes Brewery at King & DufferinStarts with lots of fruit - mango, papaya, tangerine, pineapple & more - but finish is oddly sharp, leaving a less positive final impression
