TORONTO, ON – NOW Magazine reports that Toronto punk band PUP has partnered with Great Lakes Brewery and Bar Hop on a limited edition collaborative beer.
The Dream Is Hungover is a “New World farmhouse ale” that takes its name from PUP’s latest album, The Dream Is Over, and has the following description:
You’ll find subtle stone fruit and tropical fruit, effervescence and prominent Brett ester character, all while the overall character of the yeast blend combines with the New Zealand hops to create additional pineapple, pear and citrus notes. It’s refreshing and inviting.
The Dream Is Hungover will be going on tap tomorrow (Friday July 29) exclusively at the 137 Peter Street location of Bar Hop. The first pints will be poured at 7:30 PM, and quantities are limited.

- Greg C. is drinking a Too Wound Down by Bell City Brewing Company at King & DufferinI question the Session IPA classification given the fairly low IBU, but this is still a more than acceptable pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a RoboHop Imperial IPA by Great Lakes BreweryA modern classic of the IIPA style, at least in Ontario. Strong malt base supporting a blast of citrus, pine & tropical fruit hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a CAMP-OUT PILS Unfiltered by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinThe Motueka hops are similar enough to Saaz to fit this excellent Pils, but also have a citrus zest character that adds a unique edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinStrong fruit preserve notes - esp. pineapple & peach - that lean a bit sweeter than my preference, but still improved from early days.
- Greg C. is drinking a Streetcar Delay IPA by The Six Brewing Co. at King & DufferinFirst batch from new brewer Chris Tower still has the good balance of earlier versions, but with more oomph and bounce to the hops. Great!
