Recently, while hanging out and having drinks at the TAPshack in Coal Harbour for a friend’s birthday, the Sip Advisor enjoyed a serving of this Yellow Dog Brewing product. This was in a glass directly from the brewery, a small detail which I love seeing while out and about.

The Chase My Tail Pale Ale continues the company’s celebrated history of great-named and better tasting brews (the Play Dead IPA and Shake a Paw Porter quickly come to mind, as examples). With mixed flavours of fruit and pine, the 5.2% ABV, 50 IBUs beverage is tasty and refreshing.

The pale ale is available in 473ml tall can four-packs on-site at the brewery and at private liquor stores. It paired well with my Maui Wowie Hawaiian pizza and I would love to see other ideas for the drink, but the brewery’s website has been “Coming Soon” since 2014.

Yellow Dog used to be a dog friendly place with water dishes and treat bowls for puppies that were brought to the tasting room. I recently heard a rumour this is no longer the case, thanks to one complaint. If that’s true, it’s disappointing – but not surprising – that one person can ruin a good thing… and this is coming from someone who’s prefers the company of cats.
