Notes from the Brewer

Another good week had here of brewing up liquid gold at Mission Springs. We went to the kettle with our famous Cream Ale and chalk up another batch of our Fraser Valley IPA too brewed with slightly different hop ratios as we dial in the perfect pint. The week saw another shipment of beer head to South Korea, our second biggest shipment to date. We had a pleasant visit from the people of Canadian Living Magazine for a tour of our little brewery with BIG flavour. Not every day that everyone’s Mother’s favourite magazine wants to talk about beer now is it! Four more barrels arrived for the purpose of aging a couple of different brews. We now have a pretty cool little barrel program going with 3 different types of wood. We are excited to really start showcasing that program in the months and years to come. We bottled off a new batch of our Strongman Ale, and with its higher hopping ratio, we are finding the beer to have much better balance. The high alcohol in the Strongman really deserved a much higher hop note, and boy does it ever now. It’s a great beer, now on tap at in the pub and available in limited liquor stores throughout the lower mainland.
