Canada, BC: Granville Island Brewing to release three limited edition beers

Granville Island Brewing announced release details for three limited edition beers – one a new beer to launch a new series, the second a replacement for an older beer, and the third a returning favourite, Canadian Beer News reported on April, 22.

Already available is Cloak & Dagger Cascadian Dark Ale, the previously announced first release in the new Black Notebook Series. Named for the black notebook used by brewmaster Vern Lambourne to record ideas and recipes, the series will feature small-batch beers brewed at the original GIB location on Granville Island.

Following next Monday April 29th is Ginja Ninja Ginger Beer, a new seasonal beer that replaces the Ginger Beer previously available in the GIB Limited Release Series. While the older brand was an ale, this new one is a lager.

Also coming soon is this year’s edition of Imperial IPA, an annual limited release beer that has been amped up slightly from previous versions, rising from 8.2% to 8.6% abv.
