Your Ultimate OYB Canada Day Beer Lineup 🍁

Jun 25

Canada Day is just around the corner! The promise of a long weekend, backyard BBQs sizzling, friends and family gathering, and (fingers crossed!) plenty of glorious Fraser Valley sunshine. Whether you're planning an epic bash, a chill patio hang, or heading out on an adventure, one thing's for sure: you need the right brews to properly celebrate our home and native land!

Getting decked out in red and white is fun, but stocking the cooler requires strategic thinking. You need crowd-pleasers, refreshing sippers, and maybe something bold for the grill master. Don't worry, your fav’ slightly knotty brewery has you covered. Here's our ultimate Old Yale beer lineup for your Canada Day festivities:

**The Diplomat:**

**Knotty Blonde Ale**

Hosting a crowd with diverse tastes? Our Knotty Blonde is your peacekeeper. Smooth, approachable, and refreshingly balanced, it's the definition of a crowd-pleaser. From your craft-curious cousin to your lager-loving uncle, almost everyone can agree on this easy-drinking classic.
**Perfect For:** Big backyard BBQs, potlucks where you don't know everyone's preference, casual afternoon mingling.

The Sunshine Sipper:
Golden Peach Summer Radler

**Why it Works:** Nothing says summer celebration like a Radler! Light, bright, and bursting with [Peach/Relevant Fruit Flavour], this is peak refreshment. Its lower ABV makes it perfect for longer afternoons spent soaking up the sun without overdoing it.
**Perfect For:** Patio lounging, pre-dinner drinks, keeping cool while manning the grill, convincing non-beer drinkers to try something new.

**The Grill Master's Companion: West Coast IPA**

**Why it Works:** All those delicious, smoky, charred flavours from the BBQ need a beer that can stand up to them. Our West Coast IPA, with its signature hop bitterness and citrusy notes, cuts through richness beautifully. It cleanses the palate and complements everything from burgers and sausages to grilled veggies.
**Perfect For:** Pairing with BBQ feasts, satisfying the hop-heads in the group, adding a bold flavour to the mix.

**The Easy Decision: Craft Cooler**

**Why it Works:** Can't decide? Bring the variety! Our mixer packs offer a little something for everyone and take the guesswork out of stocking up. It's the perfect "grab-and-go" solution for heading to a friend's place or ensuring your own cooler has options.
**Perfect For:** Taking to parties, ensuring variety at your own gathering, discovering a new favourite OYB brew!

**The Local Hero: Local Lite Lager**

**Why it Works:** Celebrating Canada often means celebrating local. Our Local Lite Lager delivers crisp, clean refreshment that's uncomplicated and satisfying. It's light enough for all-day enjoyment and proudly brewed right here in the Fraser Valley.
**Perfect For:** Keeping things light and local, pairing with lighter fare, enjoying during lawn games or lakeside chats.

Raise a Glass to Canada!

No matter which Old Yale brew you choose, make sure you've got enough to share! Swing by our Chilliwack Abbotsford or Beaumont locations to stock up before the long weekend hits. Grab some 4-packs, fill a growler, or pick up a craft cooler.

From all of us at Old Yale Brewing, we wish you a safe, happy, and adventure-filled Canada Day long weekend, enjoyed with a cold, refreshing OYB beer in hand!

Cheers, eh! 🍁
