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 Dubbel Entendre by Black Oak Brewing Company at King & Dufferin5.5 year old bottle. Noticeably oxidized but still enjoyable. Notes of dried fruit, baked apple, coffee, rye bread & dark malt. Warm finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Kindred Spirits by Innis & Gunn at King & DufferinSimple & solid robust stout with nicely integrated whisky & wood notes. Sweet but not overly so. Pretty well balanced, actually. Well done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Petrus Winter #9 by Brouwerij De Brabandere at King & Dufferin3 year old bottle. Notes of caramel toffee and autumn/winter spices. Oxidization and fairly light carbonation belie its age. But still good.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Blood of Cthulhu (2018) by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinUnlike other reviewers, the berries really pop for me in this year’s batch. And the booze seems less prominent. Great stuff!
- Greg C. is drinking a Mocha Porter by Granville Island Brewing at King & DufferinWell built combo of roasted malt, cocoa, coffee, with a suitably dry finish. No sticky sweetness as can sometimes happen with the style.
