OTTAWA, ON – Whiprsnapr Brewing has announced details of a new beer being released in partnership with former NHL player and current hockey broadcaster Garry Galley in support of a mental health charity.
Whiprsnapr Slingr is described as a “maple cream ale with subtle maple sweetness, and aged on maple wood chips to give it a woodsy earthy tone.”
Proceeds from the sales of the beer will go to support DIFD (“Do It For Daron”), a youth mental health support organization named after Daron Richardson, a 14-year-old with mental illness who committed suicide in 2010.
Slingr will be officially launched during an open house event at the brewery (14-106 Bexley Place, Nepean) this Thursday August 20th from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. For more details, see the Facebook event listing.

- Greg C. is drinking a Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
