Craft Beer

We have recently been in contact with a number of American and Canadian microbreweries to try and increase our craft beer selection, and to obtain beers that are not easily available in Victoria.
One of the breweries that has responded is the Brasserie Dieu du Ciel, from Quebec. http://micro.dieuduciel.com/en/beers.php
This brewery/brewpub was established in Montreal, and began releasing beer on tap in 1998. Since then, they have expanded their repertoire to include both draught beer (a huge assortment!) and bottled beer, available in 6 packs- or 24 packs if you live in Quebec.

The beer that is available for us include a Hibiscus Wheat Beer, (Rosee d'Hibiscus) a Peppercorn Rye ale, (Route des epices) an American IPA, (Corne du diable) a Blonde Abbey-style beer,(Derniere Volonte) a Hemp beer (Fumisterie) and an Imperial Coffee Stout (Peche Mortel).

The beer should arrive at Hillside Liquor Store sometime in June. If anyone has any comments about this beer, or has tried it and has any comments, please email us info@hillsideliquorstore.com


Another brewery that we have been in contact with is Ska Brewing from Durango Colorado. They have an awesome website and what sounds like amazing beer- we're hoping to be able to get some of this in too! Check out their website http://www.skabrewing.com/main.html

As breweries respond to our inquiry, we'll let you know what will be coming in to our store.
