OTTAWA, ON – Kichesippi Beer Co. has announced that a beer originally released in 2012 to mark the brewery’s 2nd anniversary is now back with a new name that commemorates a part of Ottawa history.
Kichesippi Car 696 is a 6.3% abv Maibock named after one of the fleet of streetcars that operated in Ottawa from 1891 to 1959. This particular streetcar went into service in 1917, and is currently being restored for its 100th anniversary next year.
Car 696 will be available in 473 ml cans exclusively at the Kichesippi retail store until mid-June.

- Greg C. is drinking a Breaking Point by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinTicks all the boxes for the style - hazy, hoppy, juicy, full & soft on the palate. Hides the 8.5% very well. Nice stuff.
- Greg C. is drinking a Candle Burner by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinI’m usually not a fan of coffee IPAs - the combo rarely works for me - but this hits the right balance with coffee that’s fruity not roasty.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Ugly by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinDark & sweet Belgian ales aren’t usually my bag but this is a pretty good one. Notes of coffee, cocoa, dark cherry, bit of peppery yeast.
- Greg C. is drinking a Convergence w/ Strawberry, Rhubarb, Raspberry by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinStrawberry is there, raspberry and rhubarb less so. Base beer isn’t overly sour but still a nice tartness. Mellow but enjoyable.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hefeweizen by Northern Maverick Brewing at King & DufferinStill “notes of banana candy, bubblegum, hints of clove & lemon” as I wrote last time. But seems even better than before. Fantastic hefe!
