Special brew tapped to celebrate Alberta Open Farm Days

Aug 14, 2019 | 12:21 PM

Several breweries from across Alberta have teamed up to produce a special brew honouring our province’s abundance of local ingredients.

The Alberta Open Farm Days Haskollab Berry Cream Ale was brewed at Troubled Monk on July 10. The name is cross between Haskap (a berry) and Collaboration.

The beer’s recipe has local barley from Rahr Malting in Alix, as well as Haskap berry juice from Broken Tine Orchard near Grande Prairie.

The beer is available for purchase at each of the participating breweries (Troubled Monk Brewing, Apex Predator Brewing, Lakeland Brewing Company, Blindman Brewing, Township 24 Brewery, and Red Bison Brewery) as well as select restaurants until Sunday (Aug. 18).
