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 a Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
