VANCOUVER, BC – Granville Island Brewing has announced that its long-running winter seasonal beer has returned for another year.
Lions Winter Ale (5.5% abv, 22 IBU) is a dark ale described as follows:
Winter is coming – and you’re going to like it. With complex layers of vanilla, cocoa, and caramel, our Lions Winter Ale gives you plenty to get warm and cozy with. This brew is nicely balanced so the sweeter flavours don’t overwhelm. You could call it the ultimate winter comfort brew, perfect with cream-based soups and other winter comfort foods.
Lions Winter Ale will be available for the next six months at select beer and liquor retailers, bars, and restaurants in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec.
