A new brew(ski) just in time for the holidays

Salt Spring Coffee •  05 December 2011

In stores now.

A heady ale with chocolate and roast coffee flavour, this beer is wonderfully balanced and we think a great addition to the R&B Brewing Co. line up.

Infused with Salt Spring coffee purchased by direct trade from the Aceh Gayo region of Sumatra, Indonesia, we love the cool twist the roast coffee flavour brings to this porter.

Pick-up the Spirit Chaser, Sumatra Coffee Porter at the following cold beer and wine locations in Vancouver:

• Brewery Creek – 3045 Main St.

• Firefly – 2857 Cambie St.

• Legacy – 1633 Manitoba St., Olympic Village

• Coal Harbour - 1212 West Pender

• Steamworks – 375 Water St., Gastown

• Viti - 900 Seymour

Why the name Spirit Chaser?

In Sumatran tradition a spirit chaser is a carved wooden totem that, like a Native American dreamcatcher, is used to protect sleeping people from subconscious negativity. While dreamcatchers filter the bad dreams from the good, spirit chasers (which can take many forms, from dragons to monkeys to the strangely gallant flying pig that you see on the beer label) are supposed to ward off evil spirits from harming dreamers. They guide their charges from the dream world to the real world, ensuring that those who leave reality at night awaken safely in the morning.
