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 Venskab by Beau's All Natural Brewing Company at King & DufferinClose to 7 years old but still in great condition. Well carbonated, notes of pineapple and oaked white wine, dry & peppery finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wiseman’s Weizenbock by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinUpfront malty sweetness, notes of banana bread & raisin & cocoa & dried cherry, medium bodied, hint of booze. Well made & right on style.
- Greg C. is drinking a Heir Apparent by Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery at King & DufferinPepper beers aren’t usually my thing but this is an exception. Great balance to all the flavours and abv is not obvious at all. Impressive!
- Greg C. is drinking a Tripel Thread by Kensington Brewing Company at King & Dufferin11 months old. I tend to prefer my Tripels on the drier side, but this is still a pretty good one. Tart gooseberry notes cut the sweetness.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Callista) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot very familiar with Callista hops but they work well here, bringing notes of apricot, gooseberry, blueberry & a slight floral edge.
