Great Lakes Brewery: Orange Peel Ale

Great Lakes Brewery has recently released their seasonal 'Orange Peel Ale', a sign summer is inching closer. It will be available at select pubs and restaurants in the upcoming weeks and bottles can be purchased from their brewery's retail store before hitting LCBO shelves in late May.

John Bowden from Great Lakes:
Pouring a beautiful copper colour, it boasts a subtle aroma of orange (a touch more than last year) that carries through in the flavour with a pleasant bitterness in the finish. We think it’s the perfect beer for the warm weather, especially on a patio (which isn’t that far off!)

Bottles are now available at our brewery, and it should be on tap at a number of familiar licensees in the coming days and weeks. The LCBO will also be carrying bottles in late May as part of their Summer Beer Release, but until then, you can only get it directly from us
So why not get a head start on the Orange Peel Ale by visiting the brewery to pick up a few. You might as well enjoy a brewery tour while there and try some of the other beers Great Lakes produces.
