SQUAMISH, BC – Backcountry Brewing has announced the release of a new beer brewed in collaboration with Hamilton, Ontario’s MERIT Brewing.
Ferris Brewer’s Day Off (6.5% abv, 25 IBU) is a Coriander and Citra IPA brewed with “some of [MERIT’s] favourite coriander so we could experiment with how that spice bio-transforms in fermentation.”
Ferris Brewer’s Day Off is available in 473 ml cans at Backcountry and select private liquor stores in British Columbia while supplies last.

- 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.
