(Vancouver, BC) – Summer is finally here and so too is GIB’s annual summer release of the ever-popular Raspberry Wheat Ale. This year’s batch will offer more than just refreshment as the local craft brewer is committing 50 cents from every bottle sold to the Weekend to End Women’s Cancers. This one weekend, August 14-15, 2010, invites people to join together to battle all types of cancers effecting women.
“Our Raspberry Wheat Ale is definitely a summer favourite, and it has one of the strongest female followings of any of our Limited Release beers. It’s a great fit for showing our support for such a worthy cause,” says Vern Lambourne, brewmaster, Granville Island Brewing. “This unique and flavourful limited release is the perfect complement to a fruit-filled dessert, or perhaps a grilled chicken salad.”
This crisp Raspberry Wheat Ale was created with the flawless combination of malt, water, hops, yeast, and the perfect amount of Fraser Valley raspberries. With a refreshingly light, fruity taste, this craft-brewed ale provides unique summertime refreshment.
Raspberry Wheat Ale is available in individual bottles for a 6-week limited time period, in select lower mainland government liquor stores and in our retail store on Granville Island, for $5.75/650ml bottle. Visit bcliquorstores.com for stores and availability.

Our FALSE CREEK RASPBERRY ALE is an ultra-refreshing summer ale that combines premium malt and hops with Fraser Valley raspberries. Well-balanced with raspberry colour, aroma and finish, it pairs well with summer salads, fresh air and sunny afternoons.
TASTING NOTES
Fresh raspberries, without being too sweet. Refreshingly tart with enough pale malt character, so it tastes like an ale, not a wine cooler.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Crisp and clean. Goes well with salads, particularly crisp greens with light fresh dressings. Perfect pairing: Plain chevre on crackers or smoked chicken topped spring greens with walnuts and blue cheese.Beer in review....taste it, then rate it like a pro at the link below...
