Granite Brewery and Ginger’s Tavern (1662 Barrington) has a new brew on tap—Hopping Mad, a heavy beer clocking in at six percent alcohol. Gin Lane Ale, a barley wine, has also returned to the taps.
A great gift idea for beer lovers are Granite gift cards (available in denominations from $25 -$200, they never expire), or Granite gift boxes (which includes a growler, 4 Granite glasses and coasters) for $30 including tax. Also, be sure to a spot for beloved Scottish poet’s annual event, as Ginger’s Tavern is now taking reservations for Robbie Burns Night (January 23 and 24).

Assuming this info is all taken directly from the Granite website, these are happenings from the Granite Brewery’s Toronto location, not Halifax.
