Innis & Gunn Original

Legend has it that Innis & Gunn was discovered by accident by a crew of warehouse workers who were drinking on company time. Good story, and it might even be true. They brew an ale, then let it soak in oak casks for 77 days before bottling.


Price at the LCBO: $ 3.00 / 330 mL bottle
6.6% Alcohol/Vol.

Drinking Impression:A complex, slightly thick tasting beer. Definitely something to sip and savour, rather than chug.  A tasty beer.

Would you buy it again?: Oh yes.  

Would you drink two in a row?: Probably not. A little on the expensive side ($72/case) for that sort of thing. Best enjoyed as a treat.  

Best time/place to drink it: On a fall evening after some really good BBQ.

Out of ten: A solid 9.
