“We think it’s fun, so we reckon other people might as well,” says Josh Uljans, co-owner of Moon Dog. The Abbotsford brewery has just released Coughlin’s Diet, a double pack of beers specifically made for blending together.

The first is a strong dark ale aged on bourbon-soaked oak chips, with a touch of orange zest to finish. Its companion is an English-style IPA backed by herbal hoppy notes and the tartness of cherries.

Open the box, pour them into a glass together, and you have some approximation of an Old Fashioned cocktail. If you enjoyed the Everleigh's interpretation of the beer cocktail, you’ll enjoy this.
