From the brewer

Campfire Kolsch – In honour of this year’s lumberjack theme and official charity (Vancouver Firefighters’ Charitable Society) we’ve brewed a sessionable Kolsch style ale using an extremely subtle amount of cherry wood smoked malt and hops that give tropical fruit notes. In the end you can expect this beer to be reminiscent of a lightly BBQed pineapple. Thank you to Red Truck Beer for hosting this year’s brew, along with Main Street Brewing and Parallel 49 Brewing for assisting with this year’s recipe design.

Who's been drinking this

A very enjoyable, rich but mellow Kolsch with light yeast character and just enough smoke to hint at campfires without being overtly smoky. There might have been a touch of salt too? I wanted s'mores after drinking this.
