History
The second collaboration between two wacky small town breweries with big ideas, Algerine #2 is the result of left over ingredients used to excellent effect. Combining the store rooms, talent, and equipment of Gladstone Brewing in Courtenay and Townsite Brewing in Powell River and named for the ocean pass that connects them, this category smasher of a beer is sure to be a pleasant surprise to even the most seasoned of craft beer connoisseur.
Tasting Notes
Hazy as a glass of white grapefruit juice and oozing sweet and tart fruit aromas of apricot, tangerine, and pineapple, Algerine #2 is the second collaboration between Gladstone Brewing and Townsite Brewing. Classic saison tart prickles are complimented by sweet fruit and oat smoothness and enhanced by Ella hop dryness. High carbonation tickles the tongue and highlights pleasantly sour grapefruit notes before they fade into a comfortable sweetness of pitted fruits. If having the sun two feet from your head has got you down, this is the perfect beer to get you out from under the weather.
