VICTORIA, BC – Swans Brewpub has announced the release of a pair of new beers this week, with one of them brewed especially for a Victoria Beer Week event.
Master Blaster Northwest Style Brett-Saison is the Swans contribution to VCB’s Craft Beer Thunderdome, a tasting event taking place tonight (March 11th) that features brand new beers from 10 B.C. breweries. Following its launch there, the 5.5% abv funky ale will be available exclusively on draught and in growlers at Swans.
Accompanying Master Blaster as a new release this week is Black Cygnet Session India Black Ale, a 4.5% abv brew that will also be exclusive to the brewpub.
Complimentary samples of both beers will be on offer at Swans tomorrow (March 12th) from 5:30 to 6:30 PM.

- Greg C. is drinking a Barn Owl (No. 18) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinGood balance of tart passionfruit & mildly funky sour ale, with supporting notes of oak, lemon, stonefruit & pineapple. Sharp & satisfying.
- 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.
