The warm-weather brews are starting to roll in. We’re getting some great sours and also seeing the return of seasonal favourites like Bomber Park Life Passion Fruit Ale and Hoyne Summer Haze Honey Hefe and Vienna Lager (formerly Off the Grid Red Lager). We’re also excited to have Category 12’s Critical Point Pale Ale in 4pk tall cans this year.
Also, don’t miss out on our limited-time clearance Blowout deals on many craft beers and craft ciders. These are starting to go fast!
Here’s what’s new:
