Field House Brewing Co. Nordic Dry-Hopped Sour
Juicy and precisely tart, this dry-hopped sour avoids both overt sweetness and an obvious fruit-led profile. Rye malt and Ebbegarden kveik yeast give the beer a distinctive Nordic frame, while the acidity remains lively and adaptable. Serve cool with smoked fish, grilled sausages, chèvre, roast pork, pickled vegetables, salty cheeses or classic crisp potato dishes.
Vancouver Island Brewing x Lunch Lady Collaboration Series Guava & Lime Witbier
Guava gives this witbier a generous tropical centre, while lime brings clean citrus lift and a crisp finish. The wheat-beer frame remains refreshing and fruit-led, with enough brightness to sit comfortably alongside aromatic food without becoming heavy. Serve cool with Vietnamese salads, grilled pork, lemongrass chicken, fresh spring rolls, prawns, soft herbs or lightly spiced noodles.
Academy Brewing Co. Peach Lime Radler
Ripe peach and juicy lime move together through this sweet, citrus-led radler. The fruit is bright and direct, with peach supplying roundness and lime keeping the finish lively rather than heavy. Its easy, summery character suits relaxed serving. Serve cool with fish tacos, grilled prawns, fruit salads, spicy chicken, fresh chèvre, picnic sandwiches or lightly salted snacks.
Parallel 49 Brewing Company x Dageraad Brewing Racehorse Bourbon Barrel-Aged Peach Sour
Ripe peach leads with juicy sweetness and bright tartness, followed by vanilla and oak from bourbon-barrel ageing. A measured bourbon warmth sits behind the fruit rather than overwhelming it, and the palate closes dry despite its generous opening. Serve cool with blue cheese, roast pork, grilled peaches, vanilla desserts, smoked duck, barbecue or toasted nuts.
Vancouver Island Brewing Tidal Series Peach & Ginger Saison
Ripe, juicy peach gives this saison a fresh fruit centre, while fresh ginger brings a clean, spicy kick rather than heavy heat. The two flavours sit in lively balance, preserving the style’s easy, sunlit character and a refreshing finish. Serve cool with grilled prawns, roast chicken, chèvre, pork skewers, fruit salads, ginger-glazed vegetables or lightly spiced dishes.
Patina Brewing Company Earl Grey Stout
Earl Grey tea lifts a robust stout with fragrant citrus and floral tones, while vanilla and coffee give the darker malt profile warmth and depth. Hints of lemon sharpen the finish, keeping the tea character clear against the roast. Serve cool with chocolate tart, vanilla cake, smoked pork, aged cheddar, shortbread, roasted nuts or a citrus-led dessert.
Four Winds Brewing La Maison Tropical Ale Saison
A pale-gold colour introduces a delicately light body, while wild-yeast fermentation brings pepper and tropical fruit over a dry table-saison frame. Oats and rye add quiet grain texture without weighing down the finish, keeping the beer fresh and composed. Serve cool with chèvre, roast chicken, grilled prawns, green salads, soft herbs, charcuterie or lightly spiced dishes.
House of Funk Brewing Company Apotheosis Tablebier
Heirloom pilsner malt and German wheat malt form a delicate base, with East Kent Goldings and Saaz adding measured hop character. Fermentation with the house mixed culture brings a dry, gently funky edge, while a further Saaz dry hop keeps the profile lifted and quietly complex. Serve cool with chèvre, roast chicken, charcuterie, grilled vegetables, mussels or fresh bread.
Smugglers Trail Caskworks x Brookswood Brewing Co. 3 Month Pilsner
Three months of slow lagering give this collaborative pilsner a pillowy-soft texture and rounded malt profile. It begins crisp, moves through a light touch of cereal sweetness and finishes clean and refreshing, balancing patience with easy drinkability. Serve cool with schnitzel, roast chicken, grilled sausages, soft pretzels, mild cheeses, fried fish or simple green salads.
Bridge Brewing Company You’re Killin’ Me Smalls! S’mores Brown Ale
Chocolate opens the palate, followed by graham cracker and a soft marshmallow impression through the finish. The brown-ale frame stays lighter than the dessert-inspired name might suggest, with a gentle touch of vanilla adding roundness rather than weight. Serve cool with toasted nuts, chocolate biscuits, vanilla ice cream, grilled sausages, smoked cheddar or fireside desserts.
Strathcona Beer Company Strath West Coast Double IPA
Citrus, stone fruit and pine lead this crisp, fruit-forward double IPA. Simcoe, Amarillo and Azacca bring a layered West Coast hop profile, while Maris Otter, light crystal malt and oats provide enough breadth to carry the bitterness without dulling its energy. Serve cool with grilled beef, spicy barbecue, blue cheese, smoked pork, sharp cheddar or charred vegetables.
Vancouver Island Brewing x Silk Road Tea Cherry Blossom Belgian Blonde Ale
Cherry blossom and sour-cherry teas intertwine with floral hops and Belgian yeast, giving this blonde ale a fragrant spring-like profile. The tea provides delicate fruit and flower character while the yeast adds a distinctly Belgian aromatic frame. Serve cool with chèvre, poached salmon, spring vegetables, light pastries, fruit salads, roast chicken or gently spiced dishes.
Parallel 49 Brewing Filthier Dirtier Double IPA
Passion fruit, grapefruit, red grape and mango burst from this doubled-up West Coast IPA, with floral hints adding further lift. Amarillo, Simcoe, Citra and Cryo Pop drive the double-dry-hopped profile, while the stronger malt frame keeps the fruit and bitterness structured. Serve cool with grilled beef, spicy barbecue, blue cheese, smoked pork or sharp cheddar.
Strathcona Beer Company Imperial Love Buzz Strawberry Banana Smoothie Sour
Strawberry and banana purées give this imperial sour a generous, smoothie-like fruit centre, softened by a touch of lactose. The palate sits between light and medium body, while a tart finish keeps the ripe fruit from becoming overly heavy. Serve cool with blue cheese, berry desserts, banana bread, grilled pork, spicy chicken or roasted nuts.
Container Brewing Hey Dreamer Mango & Pineapple Sour
Lush mango and pineapple fill the palate, balanced by a measured line of refreshing tartness. The tropical fruit remains vivid and generous while the sour structure keeps the profile lively rather than heavy, carrying a bright finish. Serve cold with fish tacos, grilled prawns, spicy chicken, coconut curries, fresh goat cheese, fruit salads or charred pineapple.
Steel & Oak Brewing Co. Molinillo Mexican Hot Chocolate Imperial Stout
Cacao, cinnamon and vanilla form a rich Mexican-hot-chocolate profile, with piloncillo sugar adding a deeper, rounded sweetness. The stout's roasted malt gives structure to the spice and cocoa, keeping the palate layered rather than simply sweet. Serve cool with mole, smoked beef, aged cheddar, roast mushrooms, smoked almonds, chocolate cake, cinnamon biscuits or vanilla ice cream.
Backcountry Brewing It Was the Style at the Time Oktoberfest Lager
Rich malt character gives this Oktoberfest lager its centre, drawing on pilsner, Vienna and light Munich malts. The palate is smooth and composed, with enough depth for autumn drinking while remaining comfortably sessionable through the finish. Serve cool with bratwurst, roast chicken, pork schnitzel, pretzels, smoked cheese, mustard pickles, potato pancakes or roasted root vegetables.
Strathcona Beer Company x Field House Brewing Spiced Pear Sour
Generous pear purée gives this collaborative sour ale a ripe fruit centre, enriched by brown sugar and lactose. Cinnamon leads a layered spice profile, with clove, allspice, ginger and orange adding warmth and aromatic detail through the tart palate. Serve cold with roast pork, blue cheese, spiced nuts, pear salad, glazed ham or ginger desserts.
Container Brewing Fresh Coast Fresh Hop IPA
Fresh grapefruit hop flavour leads, underpinned by dank, earthy pine and deep forest aromatics. The bitterness is smooth and clean, giving this fresh-hop IPA definition without flattening the vivid Chinook character. Serve cold with grilled sausages, roast chicken, mushroom pizza, sharp cheddar, smoked pork, spicy tacos, grilled corn, fresh salads, charred vegetables or herb-seasoned fries.
Andina Brewing Company Gósela Passionfruit Gose 473 mL
Tropical passionfruit sits at the centre of this refreshing gose, balanced by clean tartness and a lightly salted edge. The fruit remains vivid without masking the beer's brisk sour structure, leaving the palate bright and composed through the finish. Serve cold with ceviche, fish tacos, grilled prawns, goat cheese, fresh salads, guacamole or lightly spiced dishes.
