You know where the Wild Rose Brewery is, don’t you? It’s over at 4580 Quesnay Wood Drive SW, and you need to be there tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow!

Why is that, you ask? I’ll tell you. It’s because tomorrow is when the brewery releases its Wild Rose Cherry Porter, available exclusively in one litre flip-top bottles and, beginning tomorrow and likely lasting not at all long, in special cask-conditioned form.

This is a beer I contributed to both the currently available “World’s Best Beers: 1000 Unmissable Brews from Portland to Prague” by Ben McFarland, for which I penned the Canadian reviews and a few stand-alone essays, and the forthcoming “1001 Beers You Must Taste Before You Die” by Adrian Tierney-Jones, to which I offered about 40 or so reviews. It also may be Wild Rose’s finest offering.

So go, buy, drink, enjoy. And revel in the fact that even if the weather royally sucks at present, at least you can drown your wintry woes in some pretty fine ale. (And besides, The Weather Network says it’s going to warm up soon!)
