Canada, BC: Fernie brewing to launch a new beer

Fernie Brewing has announced the impending launch of a new beer, which will be available on its own or as part of a new Winter Sampler package, Canadian Beer News reported on September, 21.

Big Caboose Ale is described as a “caramel fused easy drinking red ale” that is named for “the familiar sounding trains that roll through Fernie.” It will be available before the end of the month in 6-packs, and alongside fellow Fernie brands Buck Wild Ale, The Griz Pale Ale and the First Trax Brown Ale in the Fernie Winter Sampler 12-pack.

Following soon after will be the return of Pumpkin Head, a seasonal ale based on the First Trax Brown Ale recipe, but modified with the addition of organic pumpkins, cinnamon, nutmeg and other spices. It will be available in 650 ml bottles starting in early October.
