Summers Comin'

Alley Kat started summer off already this week by releasing their summer seasonal.  The Edmonton brewery released Summer Squeeze Grapefruit Ale, brewed with, of course, grapefuits.

"The medium gold ale has the aroma of freshly squeezed grapefruit and a flavour that is a perfect balance between grapefruit and citrus."

You know it's warm enough in Calgary to try one of these on the deck - I guess we should.

Ribstone Creek - Canned

Earlier this month, new came from Edgerton, Alberta - I know really?  News in Edgerton, but of course it was beer related.

Ribstone Creek announced that with the brewery in full production they can now add canning to line and this bodes well for us all in Alberta.  Very soon we will see Ribstone cans in Alberta liquor stores across the province.

Yeah!

Natural Born Keller - great name WR

Released last week was the latest brew from Calgary's Wild Rose. This california style Keller Bock is a new seasonal that combines California common, Keller Bier and Bock styles to create this original flavour.

As stated in the press release, "We set out to create a stronger lager that is crisp, yet with the bold flavours of an ale"

We recently tried it and it's a hit.  Natural Born Keller - love the name, too.

Alley Kat Seasonals Still available

Produced recently and in high demand, Alley Kat has two delicious seasonals to find.
Three Bears Oatmeal Stout is back again and a little toug to find unless you're in Edmonton.  Worth the drive though, this "stout is sure to warm you up"

Also still around is the Darn Tartan Scotch Ale.  Formly called kilt lifter this beer "has a distinctly delicious malt flavour evoking hints of toastiness and smoke and finishing with hints of carmel and hazelnut.

We're not huge scotch ale fans, but we're told it's a good one.

Enjoy
