Spearhead Hawaiian Style Pale Ale Launched Last Night

Last night the team behind the Spearhead Brewing Co. launched their Hawaiian Style Pale Ale at Toronto's barVolo with great success. barVolo was rammed throughout the night during both the media time-slot, and the general public tasting session.

The general consensus of people I spoke with was that the new beer by Toronto's newest contract brewery was solid, a very good offering that did in fact surprise some people. The glassware that the brewery decided to go with also generated some positive comments and the beer did look awfully good in it.

I didn't have too much time to take part in the launch as I had a Toronto Beer Week meeting before hand, so I didn't take tasting notes or pictures of the launch, but TAPS The Beer Magazine was with Spearhead on the day they brewed their first commercial batch of the Hawaiian Style Pale Ale and below is a small video they (TAPS) put together.

Starting today you'll be able to find the Hawaiian Style Pale Ale on tap at various establishments throughout the city.
