Rockbottom Brewpub will be releasing its Day of Wreckoning Imperial Stout Thursday, March 8th at 5pm.  The brew is described as

a big luscious brew aged on oak then aged some more allowing the flavours to mature. It screams Bourbon and Port notes then quickly settles into an amazing complexity of flavour, layer after layer. Fruit, vanilla, oak, cherries, caramel and chocolate to start with superb tannin balance. Served nitrogenated through a sparkler faucet.

Check out the Rockbottom Brewer’s Blog for stats on the new beer.

The Atlantic Canadian beer festival scene continues to grow with the latest edition being the Saint John Beer Festival.   The inaugural event will take place on April 14th from 7-9:30 at the Market Square Atrium.  Tickets, which are $49.50 each,  will be limited due to the size of the location and are available at the Harbour Station box office.

I’ll post more information about the event as it becomes available.  Check out their Facebook page and follow them on Twitter (@SJBeerFest) for more information.
