Bushwakker does one of the most Regina things ever by putting out a season 'Blackberry Mead' brew each year at Christmas. It's a limited run and people line up in -40 to get cases of it each year.
The thing is... it's a bubbly fruity light on the pallet brew that's not far off from Wild Rose Raspberry.... on in other words... a summer brew.
I was gifted a bottle a few years ago from my uncle and we shared a few glasses at his place over Christmas, and all I could think was "Man despite the high alcohol content, this would be much better suited to a BBQ in shorts than the dead of winter"
It's bizarre, it's a decent fruity mead/beer and easy to drink, but it's the exact opposite of the heavy dark brews you'd associate with Christmas.
