Happy Friday, one and all. We hope you’ve recovered from Monday’s festivities, wherever/however you may have celebrated!

• Paddys Irish Brewpub has tapped their latest seasonal release, “Solo Citra”. This Pale Ale beer weighs in a 5.3% ABV and 50 IBUs, with a colour reminiscent of Tangerines and a light body at 1.005 FG. Thanks to the generous dosing of Citra hops, the beer features plenty of citrus flavour and aroma, as well as a significant bitterness, thanks to the light body. It is available now at both the Kentville and Wolfville locations on tap and in growlers.

• BarNone Brewing recently announced that they’re brewing a new beer to help celebrate this year’s 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference, and tying it in with a special event at Baba’s Lounge. From April 1st-7th, Baba’s is holding a 150-hour long music jam in honor of the sesquicentennial; when Don Campbell (brewer/co-owner at BarNone) asked what type of beer they wanted him to brew for the event, they decided on a Red Ale. Don soon came up with “RedEye”, a hoppy Amber brewed with 150 kg of malt and 150 oz of hops, with a 150 minute boil time. Coming in at – you guessed it – 150 IBUs and a color of 15 SRM, it will be served exclusively at Baba’s for the music jam. After that, it may pop up on tap at other restaurants/bars in the area, and will likely be available for Thursday growler fills at the brewery.

• Shane Steeves of Hammond River Brewing has confirmed that he is planning on brewing a new beer in the near future. While details on the recipe are still slim, we can confirm that it will be an Imperial IPA weighing in at about 8.6% ABV and 100 IBUs. The beer will be brewed soon, after Steeves returns from a much-deserved vacation; we’ll keep you updated as to when and where the beer will be released.

• In other Hammond River news, they’ve recently rebrewed their Hop Flash IPA; this time it’s been dry-hopped with two different hop varieties than previous batches. It should be on tap in the Saint John area in a few days… if you can guess the two hop varieties used, post it on their Facebook page to win a Hammond River ball cap!

• Expansion continues over at PEI Brewing Co., as they recently confirmed that they will soon be shipping their beer to Ontario! The first shipment will consist of their Fathers 2014 Commemorative 4-packs, which include renamed and relabelled bottles of their Blueberry Ale, Coles Cream Ale, Iron Bridge Brown, and Sir John A’s Honey Wheat. More on this Anniversary release in our previous post here.

• The Duo Wine Bar at The Tide & Boar Gastropub in Moncton is having their second beer dinner next Wednesday, March 26th. Hosted by chef Michael Savoie, there will be five courses, all paired with a different craft beer; some of the beers include a Picaroons cask ale, a “surprise IPA”, and some highly-rated Belgian beers. Accompanied by such courses as lobster crostini and a marinated salmon with hop salad, the event is almost sold out. Tickets are $115 (inc. tax and gratuity); if you’d like to reserve, email Duo.

• As promised a couple of weeks ago, Hell Bay’s R.I.P.(A.) version 2.0 is now available. Featuring the same base recipe, but triple the hops (but still a smooth, non-overwhelming bitterness), it is available at the brewery in growlers, and will be on tap in Halifax very shortly.

• And finally this week, Garrison Brewing is releasing their latest seasonal, the Baltic Porter, today. This dark and rich beer weighs in at 9% ABV and 30 IBUs, featuring lots of roast character. Bottles are available at the brewery, and shortly at the private stores. Also look for it on tap at better beer establishments in our region. The winner of the 2013 Home Brew-off, Saint Peter’s Belgian-Style Strong Ale is being released Monday (not today, as we originally posted), look for it at the brewery and private stores, as well as on tap at a few bars in the city.

Heading to the Atlantic Beer Festival in Moncton this weekend (tickets still available for the afternoon session) and not sure where to stop for a beer?  Here is my list of best beer bars in the Hub City:
The Laundromat (a.k.a. Marky’s) is located at 382B  St-George.  This is a must stop for any beer geek aficionado enthusiast looking to try something different.  This is the only place on the planet where you can purchase Acadie-Broue beer and also recently had some Shiretown Beer from Northern N.B. on tap.  They are up to 5 taps now and normally have a mix from Atlantic Canadian microbreweries.  They also feature an extensive line up of bottled beers from around the world that are not available anywhere else locally.
The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse is located at 751 Main Street.  What’s a list of beer bars without an Irish Pub?  The Old Triangle features a good selection of draught beer and some standard offerings of bottled beer.  The food is great and there are live acts performing nightly Wednesday to Saturday.
Tide & Boar Gastropub is located at 700  Main Street.  They offer a good selection of draught beer which includes offerings from Garrison, Picaroons, Guiness, Keith’s, Stella and Hoegarden.  They also have an interesting assortment of bottled beer (Mill Street, Unibroue, Chimay Red, Koninshoe La Trappe Trippel among them) and food menu (ever try a Boar poutine?).  In celebration of the AT Beer Festival, they will be tapping a cask conditioned Picaroons Yippee IPA,  this Friday, May 26th.
Last but not least are the two pubs run by the 2005 Canadian Brewery of the Year, Pump House Brewery.  The original location is located at 5 Orange Lane in downtown Moncton.  They offer their regular lineup and seasonal brews that can each be tried as part of a sampler tray.  The food is great, especially the wood fired brick oven pizza.
Across town, at the actual brewery location, is the Barnyard BBQ on 131 Mill Road.  Head over to the Barnyard is you want to drink your beer out of a Mason jar or want to enjoy a Southern themed menu with items such as Alabama Road Kill Chili, Ragin’ Cajun Gumbo, Dirty Bird, Hillbilly Backyard Steak and Texas Rodeo Buffalo Burger.  You can get a glimpse of part of the brewery and tours are available for $2 per person with a minimum of 10 people which includes samples of Pump House beer (tours should be scheduled in advance (506) 389-9042) .
