FORECAST WEST COAST PALE ALE

- KEVIN WINTER Owner and Brewer Coast Mountain Brewing, 604-962-3230, coastmount­ain.ca

Available at the brewery, select local restaurant­s / local private liquor stores

“We are a premium brand, we use premium ingredient­s and we use a heck of a lot of them. We don’t shy away from hops. We go right in. That gives our beer a special quality. For this ale, we use Amarillo hops, which have incredible mandarin and orange-peel notes. It’s the dry hopping that gives it such a tremendous, beautiful, fresh-squeezed juice character. It’s not just a summer ale, but it is a pale ale, which is lighter in colour and alcohol (5.6 per cent), so it will definitely appeal if you’re sitting on a patio and enjoying a few. It goes well with light, summery seafoods and salads. Also spicier foods, because of the fruit notes, and even Japanese cuisine.”
