Writer's pictureHowe Sound Brewing

Celebrate 25 years of Howe Sound Brewing with 3 Special Limited releases from the brewery!

We just celebrated our 25th Anniversary! To celebrate this huge milestone, and 25 years of brewing in Sea to Sky Country as one of BC's original craft breweries, we brewed THREE LIMITED EDITION RELEASES!!

Each release has its own special nod to our history — there is a new take on one of our classic brews, a brew from our past, and something totally new!⁠ ⁠

No.1 MIXED METAPHORS - FRUITED SOUR & PALE ALE MIX-PACK ⁠🍓

Howe Sound Brewing beer stack - Mixed Metaphors Sour & Pale Ale Mix Pack

For this special mix-pack, we brewed SIX NEW BEERS! 3 fruited sours & 3 hopped pale ales that go together like a walk in the park in a 355ml 6-pack.⁠


Good things come to the eye of the beholder [beer-holder], and good things are sure to happen when you mix your metaphors. Mixed Metaphors is made up of 3 FRUITED SOURS & 3 DRY-HOPPED PALE ALES, you can eat your heart out mixing each beer to complete the metaphor, because two wrongs are better than one.


Not only does each beer feature half its own metaphor, but each beer is brewed with a different fruit or uses a different hop in the dry-hop. The idea is to blend them with one another to create your own perfect mix!


If blending doesn't float your boat, each beer can be enjoyed just as well on its own or side by side for a tasting, you're the captain of your Mixed Metaphors journey!

Go for broke to complete your own metaphor such as... Every dog is worth two in the bush!⁠

No. 2 GUAVA DONKEY TROPICAL PALE ALE⁠ 🌴

A fruity, aromatic pale ale brewed with natural pink guava puree. Originally brewed in 2015, and brewed again because of you! Guava Donkey was the winning beer from our #HSBMarchMadness


Back in March, we rounded up 16 beers from the last 25 years that we get the most requests to bring back, and asked you to vote for your favourite!


In a neck and neck final showdown between Guava Donkey VS. Total Eclipse of the Hops, Guava Donkey was the WINNER! ⁠


We originally brewed in Guava Donkey back in 2015, and now it makes a triumphant return in a new format, Guava Donkey is a fruity, aromatic pale ale brewed with natural pink guava puree for our 25th Birthday on Monday.
