Canadian Band Beer series

Post by benwedge » Wed May 08, 2013 5:51 pm

This is gimmicky, but cool. CBC Music did a poll earlier this year for Canadian Band Beer puns, garnering results such as "You say barley, we say rye!" (Dark Rye "IPA" @ 5.5% & 55 IBU) and "Said the ale" (5.8%, 28 IBU Belgian Pale Ale). They're being brewed by R&B Brewing in Vancouver. I wish I could get my hands on some just for the labels.

I think I'll try to rip the recipes off and make my own.

What song does the second one refer to?
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Well, I've never been too impressed by the beer in the R & B bottles. If you can't have that, I guess you have to have some gimmick to get sales. I'll take a look down at our one good beer store this weekend and see if I can find one with a label to send you Ben.

Ben,

A & I have managed to get three of the four. PM me your snail mail and I will send the labels out east.
