ST. THOMAS, ON – Railway City Brewing has announced the upcoming release of the latest in its Barrel Reserve series of limited edition barrel-aged beers.
Irish Red Lagered Ale is a 5.6% abv ale with the following description:
The medium-bodied barrel-aged ale pours a mix of dark apricot and auburn hues into your glass. To the nose, aromas of dates, butterscotch, and hints of graham cracker sweetly tease the senses. The taste of butterscotch approaches on the forefront of the palate, only to fall quickly into the taste of red apple and dried fruits. The brew ends with a tart finish deriving from the tannins of the barrels. You are then left with a refreshing watermelon aftertaste that lingers on your tongue.
Barrel Reserve Irish Red Lagered Ale will be released on Saturday February 6th at the Railway City retail store in downtown St. Thomas. The release is limited to 800 bomber (650 ml) bottles selling for $8.95 each, with no purchase limit.

- Greg C. is drinking a Heir Apparent by Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery at King & DufferinPepper beers aren’t usually my thing but this is an exception. Great balance to all the flavours and abv is not obvious at all. Impressive!
- Greg C. is drinking a Tripel Thread by Kensington Brewing Company at King & Dufferin11 months old. I tend to prefer my Tripels on the drier side, but this is still a pretty good one. Tart gooseberry notes cut the sweetness.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Callista) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot very familiar with Callista hops but they work well here, bringing notes of apricot, gooseberry, blueberry & a slight floral edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a S.P.A. Special Pale Ale by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinQuite a while since I had this last & it seems to have improved. Overall character is that of an authentic malt-forward UK pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a Farmhouse Dark by Stack Brewing at The Craft Brasserie & GrilleSharp & sour up fromt. Bit of caramel malt but not much else behind. Thin body struggles to carry the flavour. OK but needs refinement.
