"Spyhopping” is the playful activity in which the orca will vertically pop out of the water in order to check out their surroundings or to examine prey. Spyhopper Honey Brown is a light amber coloured ale that has a sweet malt flavour combined with an excellent balance of hop character. Spyhopper is handcrafted using honey malt and a signature blend of Hallertauer and Saaz hops. This combination united with a delicate twist of locally produced wildflower honey creates a beer with a mild hop impression, smooth, full body and honey sweet finish.
Hillside Liquor Store just received the first shipment of this beer on April 1st, and has it available chilled or warm.

The honey used in Vancouver Island Brewery's newest beer is from Babe's Honey Farm, located at 334 Walton Place, just off of Oldfield Road. Babe's Honey Farm is open daily from 9-5, and has both Wildflower Honey and Fireweed Honey available for sale, in addition to beeswax blocks, candles, bee pollen and honeycomb. Call for more information at 250-658-8319.
