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 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.
