Cask alert! SaltSpring Island brewing will have a local rhubarb and strawberry infused golden ale cask at Garricks Head Pub, Wednesday June 5th starting at 5:30. Not much else to add other than the key words: cask, Garricks, local. Let’s allow Ryan, the Salt Spring rep, to give his pitch.
On Wednesday June 5th at 5:30 in the Garricks Head Pub we will be tapping a cask of strawberry and local rhubarb infused Golden Ale. Golden Ale (our flagship brew and 3 time gold winner at the Canadian Brewing Awards) is a Blonde Ale that our Brew Master Murray Hunter has been brewing up since 1998. In the past 5 years it has been brewed with organic 2 row Canadian Barley and for the last 2 it has included our estate grown organic hops. To celebrate the beautiful fresh rhubarb we have in season right now we have decided to include the delightful pairing of strawberry and rhubarb into this one time cask.
Our goal is to finish the cask in 20 minutes or less. So I encourage everyone attending to come early as the cask wont last long.
I’m good, see you all there. Victoria is becoming quite the beer city. No scratch that; has become quite the beer city. With plans for a new brew pub at the 4 mile and rumours of a boutique whiskey/spirits distillery at Odgen point, life is good for Island imbibers.
