HALIFAX, NS – Garrison Brewing has announced the annual return of a popular holiday seasonal which features several ingredients that pay tribute to Canada’s brewing history.
Spruce Beer (7.5% abv) is described as follows:
Described by some as “Christmas tree in a glass”, this seasonal specialty is brewed with local spruce and fir tips from Meander River Farms and blackstrap molasses from Crosby’s in Saint John. Complex and full-bodied, this beer balances bold Spruce notes with the sweetness of molasses and bittersweet chocolate.
This year’s vintage of Spruce Beer is available starting today at the Garrison retail store for $6.95 per 650 ml bottle.

- Greg C. is drinking an I Swear Sugarpants, It Was Your Idea 2019 by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinNot sure why there are separate annual entries for this beer, but I’ll go with it. Has cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla & cream notes as promised.
- Greg C. is drinking a Low Voltage by Powerhouse Brewing Company at King & DufferinClean & simple golden ale. Needs a bit more body to be a true cream ale, IMO, but still a well-crafted thirst-quencher.
- Greg C. is drinking a Ryevalry Roggenbier by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinFruity esters and sweet malt dominate, with earthy/peppery rye providing a nice backnote. Hint of banana bread as well. Nicely done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Chocolate Cheesecake Milkshake Stout by Rochester Mills Beer Co. at King & DufferinThe flavour delivers what the name promises. And like most cheesecake it’s too sweet for me personally. But I can still see the attraction.
- Greg C. is drinking an Union Pearson Ale by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinRecently reformulated & better for it. Strong citrus character, bit of pine, malt backnote. Reminds me of classic US IPAs & that’s good.
