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 Put A Cherry On Hop - Across the Nation by Red Racer at King & Dufferin9 months old so hops have receded a bit, but the cherry notes are still there & have an interesting spiced character. Not very milky though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Breaking Point by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinTicks all the boxes for the style - hazy, hoppy, juicy, full & soft on the palate. Hides the 8.5% very well. Nice stuff.
- Greg C. is drinking a Candle Burner by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinI’m usually not a fan of coffee IPAs - the combo rarely works for me - but this hits the right balance with coffee that’s fruity not roasty.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Ugly by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinDark & sweet Belgian ales aren’t usually my bag but this is a pretty good one. Notes of coffee, cocoa, dark cherry, bit of peppery yeast.
- Greg C. is drinking a Convergence w/ Strawberry, Rhubarb, Raspberry by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinStrawberry is there, raspberry and rhubarb less so. Base beer isn’t overly sour but still a nice tartness. Mellow but enjoyable.
