CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – The Guardian reports that Prince Edward Island’s five breweries – PEI Brewing/Gahan House, Upstreet, Barnone, Moth Lane, and Copper Bottom – have come together to form the PEI Craft Brewers Alliance.
According to the article, representatives of the breweries met in Charlottetown last month and discussed topics including “regional taxation policies, marketing to grow craft beer in the province and working with liquor boards across the country.”
No other details of the organization have been announced at this time, aside from the members’ intention to meet twice a year.

- 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.
