Granville Island Brewing | Lions Winter Ale

Our winter ale is as bold as the mighty lions that overlook the coast. With robust notes of cocoa, caramel and vanilla, it’s the ultimate winter warmer. A perfect complement to comfort foods and cozy fires. So get out of the cold and into the bold.
Available October – March

TASTING NOTES

Caramel malt aromas dominated by cocoa and vanilla. Complex layers of vanilla, bready malts, toffee, cocoa bean and a slight nuttiness. Moderate hop bitterness gives balance so that sweeter flavours do not overwhelm.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Sweet cream. Goes with sweeter full-flavoured foods and cream-based sauces. Perfect pairing: Clam chowder and bacon.
