PICTON, ON – Parsons Brewing has announced details for this year’s vintage of a beer-wine hybrid made using grapes from the brewery’s own vineyard.
Sunkissed Grape Ale (7.5% abv, 18 IBU) is described as follows:
Our small vineyard consists of 500 vines – Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Upon harvest the juice from our grapes is blended with a golden ale and fermented together with Saison yeast. The result is something very unique – a hybrid of 30% wine, 70% beer that is cloudy by nature with a tart open, a subtle juiciness and lingering hints of crisp orchard fruit.
The 2018 edition of Sunkissed is limited to 800 bottles, and can be pre-ordered online now for pick-up at the brewery.

- Greg C. is drinking a Vintage Ale (2016) by Fuller, Smith & Turner at King & DufferinPort & plum preserves up front, touch of leather, good balance through the middle, bit warm in the finish.
- Greg C. is drinking an Ikinuki Ungespundetes Kellerbier by Godspeed Brewery at Bar Hop BrewcoGood lager with strong malt base but heavy hit of hops as well. Good body, full but not heavy. A pleasure to drink.
- Greg C. is drinking an After Hours: Raspberry Sour by PEI Brewing Company (Gahan) at King & DufferinSurprised to find this treat from my home province at the LCBO. Very good raspberry sour with natural tasting tart berry flavour.
- Greg C. is drinking a Breakfast Stout by Founders Brewing Co. at King & DufferinClose to 2 years old. A bit oxidized but still everything you expect from FBS - chocolate, coffee, tasted oats & more. Always a classic.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monks' Reserve Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinDoesn’t have the depth of a Belgian Trappist, but for a New World take on a Quad, it’s very good with strong malt base & nice spice notes.
