NEW WESTMINSTER, BC – Steel & Oak Brewing has announced the return of a seasonal beer inspired by the traditional Sahti beers of Finland.
Kataja (5% abv) – Finnish for “juniper” – is described as follows:
Juniper berries and Northwest hops give Kataja gin-like notes with a twist of citrus. A complex malt bill including rye, oat and barley is followed by a crisp bitterness, not from hops, but from the juniper berries themselves.
Kataja is available now in 650 ml bottles at Steel & Oak and select private retailers.

- Greg C. is drinking a Chocolate Milk Stout by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinSeems like maybe the chocolate has been dialed back a bit, and that’s ok - it’s better balanced & doesn’t seem nearly as strong the abv.
- Greg C. is drinking an Icebreaker by Whitewater Brewing Co. at King & DufferinThe nuances of the Brut style still elude me, but this seems sufficiently dry with notes of citrus and green grape. Too hazy, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Summerweiss Tropical Wheat by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinI could be wrong, but the fruit flavours seem a bit duller this year. They’re still there, but are secondary to the weissbier notes.
- Greg C. is drinking a R&J's Das Haze New German-Style IPA by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryBeen a while since I’ve had a white IPA, and this reminds me how much I enjoy them. Helps that it gets the weisse+IPA balance just right.
- Greg C. is drinking a Divercity by Lost Craft at King & DufferinI liked this beer a lot in its original form as Pint Pursuits The Answer, and it remains a great Helles under its newer name & ownership.
