There’s been lots of developments since our first/last Friday Wrap-Up, here’s just a few teasers:

  • PEI Brewing Company’s Beach Chair Lager is now available in NB. It joins their four other listings (1772 IPA, Iron Horse Brown Ale, Island Red and Sir John A’s Honey Wheat). They are also in the midst of major expansions, to open in May.
  • The Garrison Brewing Home Brew-off Challenge closed last week, and there were 69 entries! The judging is taking place now, and the Awards Gala (which coincides with the release of last year’s winning Rye IPA by Kellye Robertson) is Thursday, March 21.
  • Speaking of Garrison, their Ass-Kicker IPA is being released today. I’ll have more details on that shortly. They’ve also got another of their One Hop IPA beers coming soon. Their Comet Pale Ale was VERY popular!
  • The 2nd Annual Saint John Beer Fest is happening April 13th, at the Market Square Atrium. We’ll have a full write-up soon.
  • Bridge Brewing Co. has rejigged their Gus’ 65m Blonde Ale recipe, so it is worth checking out again (or for the first time). And they have kegs back on tap at Gus’ Pub! And their Farmhouse Ale is at Chez Tess.
  • Hell Bay Brewing Co. is in the middle of major expansion and will be opening in the next months.

Wow, and that just scratches the surface! We’ll keep our ears open and fingers a-typing to keep you up to date, gang! Please forward on any tips to your friendly neighbourhood ACBB staff. 🙂 Now go out and drink! Both Rockbottom Brewpub and Hart and Thistle Gastropub in Halifax have some great beers on currently, including a special firkin Saturday at Rockbottom. The last couple have been selling out within a few hours, so better get there promptly at 1pm.

The PEI Brewing Company sent me a press release earlier today announcing a new limited release product.

Gahan Sydney Street Stout will be available for sale in 500ml bottles in all PEI Liquor Commissions outlets and select ANBL locations starting next week.  This will be the 5th Gahan Ale released by the PEI Brewing Company.  The beer is described as “full-bodied ale with roasted barley overtones and a dark creamy head.”

“This newest ale is beer our brewers are very proud of ” says PEI Brewing Company President Jeff Squires.  “We are offering Sydney Street Stout as a limited release bottle this fall in PEI and New Brunswick.  We have brewed only one special batch of this great stout – when it’s gone – it’s gone.”

The PEI Brewing Company won both Gold and Silver Medals at the 2012 Canadian Brewing Awards held in Montreal, Quebec.  Gahan Iron Horse Brown was the Gold Medal winner in the Brown Ale category, and Gahan Sir John A’s Honey Wheat was the winner of the Silver Medal in the Wheat Beer -­‐ North American Style category.
