FREDERICTON, NB – Picaroons Traditional Ales has announced the launch of a new series of beers designed by and named after its employees, with the first of them created by the brewery’s most veteran staffer and brewer.
Griff Pale Ale is a 4.8% abv “easy drinking ale” brewed by Ryan “Griff” Griffith that is “moderately hopped with Willamette hops (and just a little bit of Fuggles hops) giving it a nice and pleasant earthy tone.”
Griff Pale Ale is available now for growler fills at the Brewtique in downtown Fredericton, and will be on tap at the Lunar Rogue Pub tomorrow (February 26th) for a party marking its release.
Further installments in the Picaroons Staff Beer Series will follow soon, with all 30 employees of the company being encouraged by head brewer Myles Mackenzie and owner Sean Dunbar to “let the creative juices flow freely and to be as experimental as they would like.”

- Greg C. is drinking a Social Parade DDH IPA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingOh, that’s dank. And delicious. Lotsa grapefruit, some ripe peach, hint of spruce. Drinks dangerously quickly for the abv.
- Greg C. is drinking a Sitting Pretty APA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingDelivers the dominant citrus promised in the description, along with some pine and a peppery backnote, perhaps from the rye.
- Greg C. is drinking a Raspberry Lemon Rosemary Kennel Sour by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingStarts with raspberry, with lemon coming through in the middle, and rosemary sitting nicely in the finish. Super summer beverage.
- Greg C. is drinking a Li'l Hobo Hefeweizen by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingNot as hazy as I expect from the style - it’s more Kristall than Hefe - but the banana & clove notes are there, along with a bit of lemon.
- Greg C. is drinking an Interstellar IPA by Forked River Brewing Company at King & DufferinDidn’t really dig this. Hops seemed stale & lifeless despite it being relatively fresh, and there’s a heavy stickiness on the palate. Odd.
