Description
Beer with all the qualities of August: full sun, long days and filled with possibility. Before Brewing August had a name, we knew we wanted to build a craft beer brand around the feeling of community. Good people, good places and good times inspired our sun-drenched name, our picnic table logo and our beautiful packaging. We brew beer with all the qualities of August: full sun, long days, and filled with possibility. Our beer contains only the best ingredients needed for a great taste and a better feeling. That’s why we believe Brewing August is one of the best good-vibes beer pouring in Vancouver.

On tap at August, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of oats, a touch of husky cocoa nibs, and some earthy bready malt. Flavour is very dry, with earthy bready malt, hearty oats, and a hint of dry cocoa nibs. A bit washed out and lacking malt depth even for a 6% oatmeal stout, but pleasant enough.

On tap at August, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Nose reveals quite an allium character to the hops, with a touch of pine, some citrus, and just enough biscuity malt to back. Flavour is dominated by the allium—this has gotta be Citra, right?—with some piney bitterness and a grainy malt base. The balance and structure are decent, the hop expression less so. Pleasant.

On tap at August, pours a cloud peachy pink with a small white head. Aroma is full of yogurty lacto, faded raspberry, and a hint of peach—smells very cheap. Flavour is the usual cheap yogurty fruited kettle sour, with tons of lacto, faded raspberry, some peach Snapple, but at least fermented out sugars. Cheap, yogurty; no good, typical fruited kettle sour.

On tap at August, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is clean, when straw, not much else. Flavour is very watery even for a pale lager, with straw, grainy notes, and a tiny hint of grass. Serviceable pale lager but nothing special.
