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.

REMEMBERING JOHN MITCHELL WITH A SPECIAL TRIBUTE T

REMEMBERING JOHN MITCHELL WITH A SPECIAL TRIBUTE
Today, June 16th, marks three years since John Mitchell's passing in 2019—an event that triggered an outpouring of emotion from members of the cross-Canada craft beer community who revered him. 😞

However, today is just the first of a small series of John Mitchell anniversaries. Tomorrow, June 17th 2022, will be exactly four decades since Mitchell’s first creation, Bay Ale, was first tasted by a select few at his Troller Pub. In tribute to this moment, there will be a *significant* announcement here soon.

It will tie in with another Mitchell Milestone on July 6th—anniversary of the day that the first ale was officially served to the public, officially birthing Canada’s craft beer era. Stay tuned for something really exciting for John Mitchell fans. 🎉
