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 Cider by Tawse Winery at King & DufferinA simple but pleasant cider with a slight floral note and a clean & fresh finish. A well made crowd-pleaser.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic/Loral) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinHazy, juicy, dank & green - yup, it’s a Wizard Wolf. Mosaic hops are obvious, not as sure about Loral as I’m not too familiar with them.
- Greg C. is drinking a Switchboard Session IPA by Muddy York Brewing Co. at King & DufferinWhile the cranky old man in me would prefer less haze, I can’t find much else to fault in this. Lots of flavour with lowish abv - all good!
- Greg C. is drinking a Porch Pirate by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryNot as big & juicy as most NEIPAs, but still sufficiently tropical with good balance. Sometimes a bit of subtlety is appreciated.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (HBC 522) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinCitrus notes up front, herbal backnote with odd hint of cherry candy. An interesting hop strain, hope to try more beers brewed with it.
