For a limited time there are 3 Granville Island Limited Release beers available at the retail store on Granville Island. You can now purchase Nut Brown, GIBitter and Belgian Wit. The quantities are limited so visit the Granville Island Brewery to try these great brews.
Belgian Wit is back and I’m just getting ready to walk the first bottle over to the retail store. Our Wit is the perfect beer for kicking back on a sunny day with family and friends. It’s the ultimate thirst quencher.

Always wanted to know the difference between an Ale and a Lager? Or when hops are added? Or the correct serving temperature for a stout?
Whether you're a 10th level beer mason or just a guy who picks up a six pack for the game, you can ask the Brewmaster. Simply leave a comment for Vern and check back for an answer. Who knows your question could be the topic of Vern's next post.
