The 2016 BC Beer Awards may go down as the event where I discovered a true love for this style of beer. That was thanks in large part to a serving of this beverage from Red Collar Brewing.

The Doppelbock is clean and crisp, featuring roasted malts and a balanced amount of hops. At 7.7% and 32 IBUs, this may be the booziest lager the Sip Advisor has come across… and I loved it.

A fall/winter seasonal release, the Dopplebock is available in bomber-sized bottles at private liquor stores. I’m willing to bet the drink will be perfect for Christmas gatherings.

It’s been many years since I was last in Kamloops, but I would love to do a swing through the region and hop around to the various breweries that have launched in the area. Now I just need the time off!
