If there is ever a perfect season to enjoy beer, it is undeniably the summer season. Our high, beer-friendly forecasts inspired the team to look for local hits at two of our city’s breweries, and we couldn’t pick just one, but bring you a selection of brews from Sea Change Brewery and Longroof Brewing that you should be trying this summer.

1. PRAIRIE FAIRY | Blackberry Wheat Ale - 5% ABV

In collaboration with Fruit Loop Society, a YEG LGBTQ2+ community non-profit organization, this simple, clean malt bill features Alberta wheat and 2 row barley providing a perfect backdrop to the refreshingly tart explosion of blackberries and raspberries. A portion of proceeds are proudly donated to Fruit Loop Society.

4. NEBALI | HAZY PALE ALE - 4.9% ABV

This hazy pale ale is a low ABV fruit bomb and is big on flavor featuring New Zealand Hops. Think grapefruit and clementines when sipping this respectfully defiant brew. This beer is perfect for a summertime patio!

DEATH WAVE | LIGHT LAGER - 4% ABV

This approachable offering won the Gold for Best Light Lager at the Canadian Brewing Awards 2020. It is light, crisp, dry and refreshing. A Mexican-lager, Euro-Pilsner hybrid brewed with corn, Alberta 2 Row and German Pilsner malt. Classic, easy-drinking lager flavour with a light body, low bitterness and a super clean yeast profile.

5. GLIMMER OF HOP | PALE ALE - 4.9% ABV

Refreshing and sociable. Low abv, big on flavour. Tastefully hopped with Cascade. This could be your go-to summertime pale ale!

2. THE WOLF | HAZY PALE ALE - 5.5% ABV

This New-England style pale ale is our back-to-back gold winning flagship beer. Brewed with oats and wheat for that famous NEPA haze, the hops’ presence is a big player with pineapple, passionfruit, stonefruit, citrus aroma and flavor. It is medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel thanks to the oats. Very little perceptible malt character.

Ye Olde Local | Dark Mild 4.1%

This dark mild is our take on a traditional English Ale. It is a light malt forward beer with slight caramel flavours for that touch of restrained sweetness. It is a refreshing dark beer on a hot summer day!
