Special Seasonal from Paddock Wood

To add to their Winter Ale, Paddock Wood in Saskatoon has released Winter Ale Grande Reserve in 750 ml bottles. Done in "authentic Belgian fashion" this beer is a special reserve of the Belgian Dubbel released earlier. Only problem is that it's only available at the brewery. No out of province release. I got to find me a friend in Saskatoon.

Brewsters Seasonal - Big Bulge Saison

Brewsters Big Bulge Saison is on tap across the prairies. Inspired by the style first brewed in Belgium in the region where the Battle of the Bulge was fought, this beer has hints of lemon and pepper. A good saison.

Great! Winter's here!

Paddock Wood's Winter Ale, that is. The Saskatoon brewery's winter seasonal is a Belgian Dubbel with spicy and fruity flavours. This 8%'er will warm you on those cold nights that are coming.
