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 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.
