Shacklands Brewing announces October beer releases

Toronto – Shacklands Brewing Co. will launch two new releases this month including a golden blonde ale and Imperial saison.

Obscure Monk Golden Blonde Ale (6%) – Brewmaster Jason Tremblay describes it as “A soul searcher of sorts. Not being quite a Tripel, it presents aromas of Banana with some clove in the back from the Belgian Abbey yeast. Yet, there is still a bright citrus character almost like tangerine. With a medium body and a dry finish, think Tripel but more light-hearted.” Recommended food pairings include sweet marinated pork and smoked cheeses.

Shadow Saison Imperial Saison (8%) – Shacklands Brewing describes this beer as deep Mahogany in colour with tan head, milk chocolate on the nose with figs or dates, and roasted notes with bitter coffee. Suggested food pairings are beef, mushroom risotto, and black forest cake.

Both releases will be available starting Saturday October 14, 2017 at the brewery.
