"Behold the best B.C. brews
GRANVILLE ISLAND'S RASPBERRY WHEAT ALE
One of the annual summer highlights from the Granville Island Brewery, the Raspberry Wheat Ale is once again available to consumers -- but only for a limited time. (Six weeks!)
The GIB Raspberry Wheat Ale is a combination of malt, water, hops, yeast and Fraser Valley raspberries that -- according to brew master Vern Lambourne -- is a "perfect compliment to a fruit-filled dessert, or perhaps a grilled chicken salad."
It should be noted that sales of the Raspberry Wheat Ale will aid a great cause -- 50 cents from every bottle sold goes toward the Weekend to End Women's Cancers. Visit gib. ca for more.
PHILLIPS BREWERY'S BIG TIME KOLSCH
This ale is quickly becoming a favourite among music festival goers in British Columbia. Phillips' Big Time Kolsch was originally brewed for attendees of the Big Day Up festival (featuring Cat Empire and Daniel Wesley) and the Big Time Out festival (featuring K'Naan and Broken Social Scene) but after proving to be a hit on the concert tour, Phillips decided to make the ale available in stores.
You can get your hands on Big Time Kolsch by purchasing one of Phillips' Showcase Mixed Packs, available at various government and private liquor stores. To find out more, visit phillipsbeer. com
OKANAGAN SPRING'S 25TH ANNIVERSARY HOPPED LAGER
The Vernon-based brewery is celebrating 25 years in the beer game by rolling out this light, fragrant lager.
Okanagan Springs has spared no expense in creating a beer rich in colour and flavour -- the Hopped Lager brewing process involves the late addition of Saaz hops which gives the lager a full flavour and a remarkably clean taste. Because of that full flavour, the Hopped Lager is suggested to be paired with "robust" dishes -- cream-based soups, seafood, spicy chicken -- but would probably work well on its own, perhaps on a shaded patio. Visit okspring. com for more.
DEAD FROG BREWERY'S PEPPER LIME LAGER
A refreshing lager with a lime aroma and hint of black pepper, this new release from the Aldergrove-based brewery has become a hit on the Canadian tasting circuit.
In May, the Pepper Lime Lager was voted the People's Choice Beer of Show at the Calgary Beerfest and received rave reviews at July's Canada Cup of Beer at Thunderbird Stadium.
You can get Pepper Lime Lager in individual six packs or as part of Dead Frog's Summer Mixer, available at most government and private liquor stores across the province.
To learn more about the lager, visit deadfrogbrewery. com.
TREE BREWING'S HOP HEAD
A two-time medallist at the Canadian Brewing Awards, this India Pale Ale is regarded as one of the finest IPAs made from a craft brewery. It's got all the bold, rich flavour one would expect from a hearty IPA, yet finishes neat with a crisp aftertaste.
Hop Head is available in most retail liquor stores and can also be found online at treebeer. com
