I owe the good folks at Yukon Brewing an apology. Normally I like to be the first guy to report new beer from prairie (and honourary prairie) brewers. However my Halifax sojourn has interfered with that mission. The Yukon guys did email me informing me of two new releases, but I simply didn’t get around [...] So this may be my most outrageous procrastination yet. Before Xmas our good friends at Yukon gave me a bottle of their very rare and now completely gone Solstice, their first distillation release.

Their ultimate goal is to create single malt [...] Urban Diner on 109 Street has secured its second Yukon exclusive (the first was the Lead Dog on tap at its opening). This Friday at 4:00, the first of two kegs of Yukon’s latest seasonal, Porter, will be tapped. This is the first time the porter has left the safe confines of Whitehorse.

Two kegs of Yukon’s Lead Dog Ale have been shipped down from Whitehorse and are exclusive to the new location. Lead Dog, of course, is Yukon’s take on an old ale [...] Yukon Brewing (onbeer.org’s honourary prairie brewery) was profiled last week on craftcans.com, a website devoted discussing and reviewing craft beer found in cans (yes, you can find a website devoted to almost anything on the inter-web…). The site does a Q&A with Yukon’s Bob Baxter looking at their decision to adopt cans along with other [...] Onbeer’s honorary prairie brewery, Yukon Brewing, has just completed a redesign of a number of its labels. New artwork has been done for the Lead Dog and the Cranberry Wheat, giving them a simiar feel as the other mainstays. They re-did their Gold and Arctic Red labels last year, part of an ongoing process of [...] |
