We a rarely seen traditional cask (real beer) of IPA dry hopped with Cascade and Columbus hops using one of the three beer engines at the Alibi Room. Head down and give it a try before it runs out. Should be on tap today or tomorrow.

Pumpkin Ales are mild, with little to no bitterness, a good malt backbone with some spice often taking the lead. The best versions use real, roasted pumpkin which adds tremendous depth of character, it’s time-consuming and tends to drive brewmasters insane.

This one off Pumpkin Ale really delivers, with roasted pumpkin, just the right amount of the best spices available while still letting the pumpkin shine through. It’s on cask tomorrow (Friday) at Dix and we hope to see you there.

I know I haven’t updated the website enough but I encourage everyone to check out the new storm customers:

Habit (Main St) - IPA
Mysala (Granville St. & Smithe) - Pilsner and IPA

I don’t often accept new customers, but I believe these places have unique food pairing opportunities. Also, relatively new, if you haven’t checked out Chambar on Beatty Street, you should. They’ve been pairing the Black Plague Stout with a chocolate dessert and have had my IPA on tap before.

The Whip Restaurant Gallery Brewers’ Dinner is on January 13th. I’m bringing a pin of 1997 Black Current Lambic, that is cask conditioning already to pair with some kind of heavy chocolate dessert. Should be a great event.
