VANCOUVER, BC – Bring Your Porter to the Slaughter reports that the breweries clustered in the East Vancouver neighbourhood that has become known as the Yeast Van Brewery District have released a special variant of the collaborative beer they released late last year.
Gin-Barrel Aged Double Pale Ale (8% abv) is a batch of the original beer that was brewed at Coal Harbour Brewing with hop contributions from Andina, Bomber, Callister, Doan’s, East Van, Luppolo, Odd Society Spirits, Off the Rail, Parallel 49, Postmark, Powell, Storm, Strange Fellows & Strathcona, and then aged for several months in Odd Society gin barrels.
The new variant is available now at select private liquor stores and tasting rooms. As with the original version, partial proceeds will be donated to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

- Greg C. is drinking a Saturday Night Lumberjack by Barn Hammer Brewing Company at King & DufferinDarker & maltier than most modern DIPAs, but still plenty bitter as well. Brings to mind Arrogant Bastard, but a bit lighter on the palate.
- Greg C. is drinking a 191 Mӓrzen - Across the Nation by Red Racer at King & DufferinProperly malty with notes of breadcrust and caramel, herbal hops to balance. About 9 months from canning but it held up surprisingly well.
- Greg C. is drinking a Three Ring Circus by Block Three Brewing Co. at King & Dufferin3+ years old & showing its age so forgoing a rating to be fair. Seems like there’s probably a good beer behind the oxidization, though.
- Greg C. is drinking an Imagination Experiment Root Beer Stout by Dominion City Brewing Co. at Bar Hop BrewcoAroma & flavour are all about the root beer. Which is just fine for a root beer fanatic like me. Might be a bit much for others.
- Greg C. is drinking a Leave No Trace Pale Ale by Dominion City Brewing Co. at Bar Hop BrewcoHazy straw yellow. Light bodied, grainy character with top notes of citrus peel & green hop. “Crushable” I suppose but not much beyond that.
