To mark Yukon Brewing's 20th anniversary which coincides with Canada’s 150th, Yukon Brewing will be releasing a “20th Anniversary - Canada 150 Series” of Limited Edition brews. Commencing January 2017, there will be a different Limited Edition 650 mL bomber released each month. Six forgotten favourites and six brand new brews.
Gold Panner was originally released in 1998, and was Yukon Brewing's first dry-hopped brew, making it an ideal candidate for their 20th anniversary throwback beers.
Easy effervescence and a balance of earthy and floral aroma play nicely with the radiant fragility of this golden ale. The nearly transparent golden colour is pleasing to the eye, and the light body appeases the brisk hop profile. If you lean towards a soft, refreshing golden ale, you will strike it rich with Gold Panner.
Yukon Brewing opened its doors in 1997 under the name Chilkoot Brewing Co. Ltd. Owners Alan and Bob conceived their idea like many Yukon babies – around a campfire on a canoe trip. Both Ontario natives, they’ve lived and worked in the Territory for a good deal of their adult lives.
