QUESNEL, BC – Barkerville Brewing has announced the return of a seasonal ale that celebrates both the anniversary of the brewery 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 back-story 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.”
Promise to Sophia is available now in 650 ml bottles at private liquor stores throughout British Columbia.

- Greg C. is drinking a 191 Mӓrzen - Across the Nation by Red Racer at King & DufferinProperly malty with notes of breadcrust and caramel, herbal hops to balance. About 9 months from canning but it held up surprisingly well.
- Greg C. is drinking a Three Ring Circus by Block Three Brewing Co. at King & Dufferin3+ years old & showing its age so forgoing a rating to be fair. Seems like there’s probably a good beer behind the oxidization, though.
- Greg C. is drinking an Imagination Experiment Root Beer Stout by Dominion City Brewing Co. at Bar Hop BrewcoAroma & flavour are all about the root beer. Which is just fine for a root beer fanatic like me. Might be a bit much for others.
- Greg C. is drinking a Leave No Trace Pale Ale by Dominion City Brewing Co. at Bar Hop BrewcoHazy straw yellow. Light bodied, grainy character with top notes of citrus peel & green hop. “Crushable” I suppose but not much beyond that.
- Greg C. is drinking a Pineapple Tangerine Grapefruit Jelly King by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinBase beer is great as always, and the flavours promised on the label all come through, especially tangerine. The King never disappoints.
