Beer Mail - Side Launch Festbier - 2 Guys 1 Beer - Beer Review


Listen Later

Welcome to the newest addition to 2 Guys 1 Beer.
BEER MAIL - it's such a beautiful thing when we receive Beer Mail from breweries.
So 2 Guys 1 Beer decided that since we can't feature every beer we receive in a timely matter we should do some shorts on the beer we don't get to on our show.
Chris takes on the first episode of Beer Mail by trying HMCS Collingwood Festbier by our good friends at Side Launch Brewing Co.
Festbier is a 5.5% fuller bodied, moderately hopped, seasonal lager. It has the colour of a harvest moon, great mouthfeel and lots of flavour. This type of beer, typically brewed for the Oktoberfest season, truly represents the Bavarian way of celebrating.
Side Launch - The Name
Side Launch Brewing Company, celebrates the deep-rooted history of shipbuilding that has fuelled our town since the late 1880s. For over a hundred years, Collingwood was responsible for building lake freighters designed to fit through the narrow locks of the St. Lawrence Seaway. During World War II, Collingwood Shipbuilding was contracted to build 23 warships for the Canadian Navy.
Due to the geographical constraints of the bay, these massive ships couldn’t be launched into water the conventional way: bow or stern first. Instead, they were launched sideways or “side launched”.
As one of the only places in North America to introduce ships to water this way, people would travel from all over Canada and the US to get a taste of these momentous events.
They hope the same happens with their beers.
