On tap: new releases from Faculty, Strange Fellows and Cannery

Here’s what we’re trying to kill the coronavirus with this week…

Nuba Turmeric Ale by Faculty Brewing Co.

Spiced ale • 5.2% ABV • Draught only

This unique beer was a collab between Vancouver’s Faculty Brewing and Nuba restaurant and features fresh-pressed turmeric and ginger as well as coriander and cardamom for a bright, citrusy flavour with some added spice. To celebrate the launch, all four Nuba locations will be offering free samples from March 12-14, as well as pints available at the happy hour price of $5 from March 12-18. Faculty Brewing will also make its latest co-creation the centre of attention during its ongoing series of Experimental Beer Thursdays this Thursday, March 12.

 

Lutin by Strange Fellows Brewing

Wild Ale • 6.0% ABV • 18 IBU • 750 mL bottles

This dry, bright saison from East Vancouver’s Strange Fellows Brewing was aged in white wine barrels with a unique Brettanomyces yeast culture. According to the brewery, the result is a tart, complex wild ale with flavours reminiscent of white grape, bright fruit, and lemon/lime.

 

Ceres Mango Milkshake IPA by Cannery Brewing

Milkshake IPA • 4.8% ABV • 30 IBU • 473 mL tall cans

Penticton’s Cannery Brewing is celebrating women with the launch of a special beer made by the women on their team. Ceres Mango Milkshake IPA is a double dry-hopped, double IPA brewed with oats, wheat, vanilla and milk sugar, and then fermented with mango and hopped with a blend of Azacca, El Dorado, Idaho Gem and Loral. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Pink Boots Society, which promotes and aids women in the beer industry through education.
