Granville Island Brewing Announces Release Lineup for Summer 2018

VANCOUVER, BC – Granville Island Brewing – a subsidiary of Molson Coors Canada – has announced details of its release plans for the next few months, including several seasonal and limited edition releases.

A pair of popular seasonal beers – Lions Summer Ale (4.7% abv, 19 IBU) and False Creek Raspberry Ale (4.5% abv, 11 IBU) – are back for the spring and summer, both on their own and as part of the Summer Mingler 12-pack. This sampler comes in two versions this year: a bottle pack containing Lions, False Creek, English Bay Pale Ale (5% abv, 18 IBU), and Sunshine Coast Hefeweizen (5% abv, 15 IBU); and a can pack that includes Cypress Honey Lager (4.7% abv, 15 IBU) in place of the Hefeweizen.

In the brewery’s Small Batch Series, So-Cal Style IPA (7.8% abv, 80 IBU) will be returning on May 3rd, and will now be a year-round brand along with West Coast Pale Ale (5.5% abv, 38 IBU) and the recently released Pacific Northwest Porter (6% abv, 32 IBU). Returning for a limited summer run will be Gose With Peach (5% abv, 17 IBU), joined this year by the brand new West Coast Farmhouse Saison (specs TBC).
