OFFICIAL JOHN MITCHELL TRIBUTE ALE CELEBRATES 40 Y

OFFICIAL JOHN MITCHELL TRIBUTE ALE CELEBRATES 40 YEARS OF CRAFT BEER IN CANADA

As of today, it has been exactly four decades since Canadian craft beer pioneer John Mitchell’s first Horseshoe Bay Brewing creation, Bay Ale, was sampled by a select few at Mitchell’s nearby Troller Pub on June 17th, 1982. For the occasion, a special new commemorative beer is brewing!

Announcing John Mitchell Signature Cascadian Dark Ale. It's a collab beer fundraiser whose complete proceeds will benefit the John Mitchell Legacy Endowed Scholarship, open to students at Kwantlen Polytechnic University‘s Brewing & Brewery Operations Diploma program.

On June 8th, about 20 people including @KPUBrew staff, students and alumni working at a number of other local BC breweries gathered at @Russell_Beer for a collab brew day.

Why there? With four KPU alumni and students on staff, Russell Brewing was the ideal choice to serve as home base for this special fundraising project, and was indeed recommended by KPU for the honour.

The CDA beer recipe was developed by a KPU alumnus and inspired by John Mitchell's recipes, including original brew sheets from Horseshoe Bay Brewing, as well as John's time at Spinnakers Brewpub. The result will be a delicious Cascadian Dark Ale incorporating two things John Mitchell loved: Northwest-grown hops and a darker malt bill.

The beer will debut at Russell Brewing’s newly-launching tasting room on July 6th, when it will be 40 years to the day since the ale was first served to the general public, officially birthing Canada’s craft beer era. Watch for this special fundraising beer that, through education, will help keep the future of BC brewing strong.
