Barkerville Marks Anniversary & Valentine’s With Promise to Sophia

QUESNEL, BC – Barkerville Brewing has announced the release of a new seasonal ale that celebrates both the brewery’s first anniversary and the romance of Valentine’s Day.

Promise to Sophia Valentine Ale is a 6.9% abv milk stout flavoured with vanilla and anise. And as with all Barkerville beers, it has a name and backstory influenced by the history of the area – in this case, “the achingly tragic yet romantic tale of Sophia Cameron and her husband’s pledge to ensure she was buried at home in Ontario should she fall victim to the hardships of the Cariboo gold rush.”

Barkerville Promise to Sophia is available now in 650 ml bottles and on tap throughout British Columbia.
