In April, Wild Rose will be releasing another Belgian seasonal. I was pretty impressed by the Dubbel. Anyone excited for this one?

I’ll try it of course. The du bel was decent, glad they switched to bombers.

I’d like to see a local(ish) take on this... though I haven’t had very many as it is. Still I’ll definitely be giving it a go.

I like that they switched to bombers. I wish more breweries in Calgary and Alberta in general would start filling growlers though.

I’ve heard from reliable sources (saying that makes me feel lame as if I’m talking about a police bust or something) that Alley Kat will fill growlers... only you have to supply your own/other breweries.

That said I wish Wild Rose would have kept the flip-tops, just capped them like Howe Sound does.

I AM that reliable source.



I have gone and had my growler filled at Alley Kat before. They charge about $12 for it and will do it with their current seasonal.



I don’t think they’ve done it much though. It took about 10-15 minutes for the gentleman to figure out how to fill it appropriately and clear out the foam from the growler.



I actually washed a giant piece of tubing and sucked the head out of the growler. Free beer!

HOP SMASHED IN is a great name for an Alberta beer. I want to try it just for the name. I think the big bottles are better priced and nice to see original labels on the bottles instead of just the beer name. Also great to have places like Beer Revolution having local seasonals on tap. The Calgary scene keeps getting better.

A big +1 to everything you said here.



Really excited to try this one.



Wild Rose CAN make great IPAs, I just wish their standard version wasn’t quite so timid. A big +1 to everything you said here.Really excited to try this one.Wild Rose CAN make great IPAs, I just wish their standard version wasn’t quite so timid.
