One of the best things about Craft Beer is how it changes with the seasons. May is that pivotal month when breweries really start changing their beer from dark to light. It’s hard to keep on top of all the changes, but I try. Here’s a rundown of my favourite beer this past month:

May’s Best Beer Award!

Lighthouse Rhubie Rhubarb Ale



This release was a surprising winner for me. I typically do not like fruity beer or anything different put in my beer. But Lighthouse Brewing Company’s Rhubie Rhubarb was the beer that broke my rules. I kept going back for this one to chill on my deck with, bring to gatherings or just relax with after a long day. Well done Lighthouse. I’m looking forward to what you come out with next. If you haven’t read the review yet… Check it out here: Rhubie Rhubarb Ale.

Runners Up!

There were a number of other awesome and noteworthy beer that I tried this month. I’d rate them all but having a wedding to plan for, I just don’t have enough time. I already get in trouble for the amount of time I spend beering. Other honourable mentions for the best beer of May, in no particular order, are as follows:

Electric Unicorn White IPA – Phillips Brewing Company

This is a great re-release brought back from last year by Phillips. It is definitely one to check out if you can find it still. I have a feeling it will be back next year if you missed it. Check out the review here: Electric Unicorn White IPA

The Big Bock – Hoyne Brewing Co.

I never got around to reviewing this one, but I will for sure. It’s just so smooth, bold and awesome to be around. Think Tay Diggs in a bottle. What? What’s wrong with a little man crush?

Tuff Session Ale – Tofino Brewing Company

This was a very close contender for the best beer of the month. Yes, I know I reviewed it back in April, but like the Rhubie, I went back many times for this guy because it’s that good. You can see my review here: Tuff Session Ale

Tin Hat IPA – Townsite Brewing Co.

Another one I haven’t had the chance to review, but that will be coming soon. Straight out of Powell River, BC, with the only true Belgian Brewer this side of the country, they put our some wicked brews. Give this one a try and you will definitely be temped to try out the rest of their line up. I guarantee it.
