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 Petrus Winter #9 by Brouwerij De Brabandere at King & Dufferin3 year old bottle. Notes of caramel toffee and autumn/winter spices. A bit of oxidization and mild combination shows its age. But still OK.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Blood of Cthulhu (2018) by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinUnlike other reviewers, the berries really pop for me in this year’s batch. And the booze seems less prominent. Great stuff!
- Greg C. is drinking a Mocha Porter by Granville Island Brewing at King & DufferinWell built combo of roasted malt, cocoa, coffee, with a suitably dry finish. No sticky sweetness as can sometimes happen with the style.
- Greg C. is drinking a Bonne Faim by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinA nice Tripel that hits the right balance between sweet and dry, with subtle notes of hibiscus and strawberry that integrate well.
- Greg C. is drinking a Foeder Fermented Grisette by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinA lot going on - sourdough, lemon, fruity-to-funky Brett, fresh herbs & more. But it’s also easy to just drink & enjoy. Elegant simplicity.
