On Friday March 30, 2012, the official Vancouver Craft Beer Week Collaboration Ale was brewed at Russell Brewing in Surrey, led by Russell Brewing's Jack Bensley and Central City Brewing's Gary Lohin, using premium ingredients supplied by Canada Malting. In celebration of BC's largest craft beer festival, 30 of the province's finest breweries banded together to create a unique Cascadian Brown Ale. This nutty, medium-bodied brew is our take on a traditional English ale with a curiously hoppy West Coast twist. It will be available during VCBW in draught and cask at participating establishments, and in 650ml bottles at leading private liquor stores throughout the Lower Mainland. Each year, partial proceeds from the sale of VCBW's collaboration beer are donated to a different charity. Last year, $1,294 was successfully raised for Japanese Tsunami Relief from sales of our 2011 Cascadian Dark Ale. This year we’ve tripled the batch size and hope to raise even more money for the Farmland Defense League of British Columbia.
