CREEMORE, ON – Creemore Springs Brewery has announced the debut of a new beer brewed especially for Blue Mountain Resort on the occasion of its 75th anniversary.
Smart Alec Ale is a 4.7% abv and 20 IBU unfiltered ale that is based on the Kölsch Style Ale released by Creemore Springs last May as a summer seasonal release.
The year-round beer is named after one of the best known ski runs at Blue Mountain, and is described as having “a bright golden hue and showcases a lovely grainy, bread aroma with hints of fresh pears, and a delicate floral hop aroma with hints of citrus and cassis.”
Smart Alec Ale is available exclusively at the Bullwheel pub on the upper floor of the South Base Lodge, and Jozo’s Original Aprés in the Blue Mountain Inn at the base of Happy Valley.

- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Holiday Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & Dufferin1+ year old bottle. Aroma of port and spice, notes that follow in the flavour plus cherry & menthol. Some booze heat despite the age. Nice.
- Greg C. is drinking an Oude Geuze (Vieille) by Brouwerij Oud Beersel at King & DufferinNot as lip-puckeringly sour or mind-bendingly complex as some lambics, but still an old fave that I always enjoy.
- Greg C. is drinking a No Love Lost Sour Cherry Saison by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinDelivers what the name promises - a rather good Saison laced with sour cherry that is unmistakably present but not overpowering.
- Greg C. is drinking a Coffee Oatmeal Stout by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinSurprisingly good for a 20-month-old bottle. Coffee is still nice & punchy, good notes of chocolate, oats & nuts in the background.
- Greg C. is drinking a Dueces by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinPretty much a textbook IIPA with no especially distinctive qualities. Finish is a bit harsh, but could be evidence of the high abv. It’s OK.
