BEER BY THE 6 PACK
Tree Brewing Mellow Moon Pineapple Hefeweizen (BC) – “Unfiltered to create a naturally cloudy brew. Pronounced pineapple aromas with subtle spice notes. Flavours of citrus and clove lead to a pleasant, dry, mild hop finish.” – Tree Brewing
Half Pints Brewing Little Scrapper IPA (Manitoba) - “To admit that the brewers at Half Pints are hopheads is an understatement. This India Pale Ale is unabashedly hoppy, with a grapefruit-like aroma due to a large addition of hops directly to the final tank (a process called “dry hopping”). A firm, toasted malt presence forms the background for all these hops lending balance so it’s not just a one note symphony.” Half Pints Brewing
