12	13 SPINNAKERS STOUT DRY HOPPED WITH GOLDING HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom A chill in the air has started to develop,and this really marks the change of seasons - the season of bigger beers! Our stout has beautiful rich flavours, and are balanced with a dry hopping of Goldings. Even if you aren't a fan of stouts give this one a try. You'll be pleasantly surprised. * Best experienced with our Blue Cheese Pizza.	14 SPINNAKERS NUT BROWN DRY HOPPED WITH SAAZ HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Traditionally Saaz hops are used with Bohemian beers and pilsners, but today you'll venture into another realm. Saaz carries a light bitterness, with a bit of a spicy zing and earthy tones. This will balance with our delicious Nut Brown and create a session ale that can't be beat. * Best experienced with our Focaccia Chicken Sandwich.	15 BLUE BRIDGE DOUBLE PALE ALE DRY HOPPED WITH NORTHERN BREWER HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Alpha Acid: 8% - 10% Blue Bridge Double Pale has a strong malty profile, and this is really brought out when dry hopped with Northern Brewers. The higher alpha acid provides a slightly pungent aroma that cuts through the sweetness of this 8.2% monster. Urbandiner.ca says it's the best patio beer around. Why don't you try it for yourself? Best experienced with Salmon Fettucini.	16 SPINNAKERS IPA DRY HOPPED WITH GOLDING HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Alpha Acid: 4% - 5.5% IPA was first developed to quench the thirst of English soldiers that were not used to the heat of India's blistering sun. They were heavily hopped, and made with a generous amount of grain to provide a high alcohol content. This helped preserve the beer and as it turns out, makes a delicious beer. Best experienced with our House Made Curry.	17 SPINNAKERS ALE DRY HOPPED WITH FUGGLE HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Alpha Acid: 3.8% - 5.5% A chance seedling that has come a long way. Over 100 years of popularity in England, Fuggle hops once accounted for 78% of English grown hops. Ours are grown a little closer to home, and are still reminiscent of their roots. Very subtle, offering a slight spice to give our session ale some character. Best experienced with our Island Vegetable Pizza.	18
19	20 ABBOTT BITTER DRY HOPPED WITH FUGGLE HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Alpha Acid: 4% - 5.5% A true English dry hopped ale. Fuggles are a widely used hop variety in England, being mostly used in Bitters and Pale Ales. They were introduced by a man named Richard Fuggle around 1875. Since then, the hops have been grown in other areas of the world, including our Fuggles, which were grown on the west coast. Best experienced with our Halibut Fish & Chips.	21 MITCHELL’S ESB DRY HOPPED WITH GOLDING HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Alpha Acid: 4% - 5.5% The Mitchell’s ESB has a long history here at Spinnakers and has achieved many accolades over the years. We have found that when this ale is dry hopped with Goldings, it achieves an amazing balance that showcases what we think an Extra Special Bitter should be. Best experienced with our Halibut Fish & Chips.	22 LIONSHEAD CASCADIA DARK ALE DRY HOPPED WITH CASCADE HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Alpha Acid: 4% - 7.5% The Lionshead Cascadia Dark Ale was developed when Carley Hadfield opened her pub in Robson, BC. Cascadian Dark Ales are a relatively new style in the beer world, offering a hop profile similar to an IPA but creating a larger malt backbone for balance. Best experienced with our BBQ Beef Ribs.	23 SPINNAKERS ALE DRY HOPPED WITH FUGGLE HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Alpha Acid: 3.8% - 5.5% A chance seedling that has come a long way. Over 100 years of popularity in England, Fuggle hops once accounted for 78% of English grown hops. Ours are grown a little closer to home, and are still reminiscent of their roots. Very subtle, offering a slight spice to give our session ale some character. Best experienced with our Salmon Fettucini.	24 SPINNAKERS IPA DRY HOPPED WITH MAGNUM HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Alpha Acid: 12% - 14% Magnum hops are meant to be married with IPA. They have a strong clean finish, with very herbaceous earthy tones. They were originally developed in the German Hop Institute, and are now used worldwide. We use them in the bittering process of our IPA, so a dry hop will further accentuate these flavours. Best experienced with our Salmon Fish & Chips.	25
26	27 SPINNAKERS PALE ALE DRY HOPPED WITH CHINOOK HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Alpha Acid: 12% - 14% Here is something a little different. Usually we like to show off our Spinnakers Pale Ale by accenting it with aroma hops but today we’re showing it off with some bitter hops. Look for the large citrus flavours that will add a good kick to this pale ale. Best experienced with our Wild Salmon Fettucini.	28 LIONSHEAD CASCADIA DARK ALE DRY HOPPED WITH CASCADE HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Alpha Acid: 4% - 7.5% The Lionshead Cascadia Dark Ale was developed when Carley Hadfield opened her pub in Robson, BC.

Best experienced with our BBQ Beef Ribs.	29 SPINNAKERS NUT BROWN DRY HOPPED WITH GOLDING HOPS $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Alpha Acid: 4% - 5.5% Nut Brown is well balanced with Golding hops. The smooth, sweet flavours of the Golding hops compliment the nutty compounds and malt profile of the Nut Brown Ale. Best experienced with our Focaccia Chicken Sandwich.	30 JAMESON SCOTTISH ALE DRY HOPPED WITH FUGGLES $5/pint ' Location: Taproom Alpha Acid: 4% - 5.5% After being charged with brown sugar to induce a secondary fermentation, the hops were added to help balance this big malty beer. Best experienced with our Smoked BBQ Beef Ribs.
