Canada, BC: Vancouver Island Brewery to release Black Betty Blackberry Saison

Vancouver Island Brewery has looked back to a classic 1970s rock song to draw inspiration for a new beer in its line-up of limited seasonal releases, Canadian Beer News reported on September 24.

Black Betty Blackberry Saison is a 6.3% abv ale that was brewed using blackberries from local winery and berry farm Coastal Black.

Black Betty Blackberry Saison is available now in a limited run of 650 ml bottles. An open house celebrating its release along with this year’s edition of Storm Watcher Winter Lager will take place at the Vancouver Island Brewery (2330 Government Street, Victoria) on Saturday, October 5th from 1:00 to 4:00 PM.
