March 2017 - Another 3 new beers to taste. All three are winners this time.. from grapefruit flavored ale to super chocolate porter!
Piggy Pale Ale.
Cactus Grapefruit IPA
A middle weight body with smooth, airy creaminess. If you like fresh grapefruit and you are not an IPA purist then then you’ll love this brew! Easy to drink, nice and crisp and quite refreshing on a hot summer day.

Bomber Choqlette
Great taste is more than the beer in this bottle. It’s classy and quirky and vibrant and subtle. It’s chaos and balance, inately in sync. It’s not something you learn, it’s a second instinct.
It’s old worldly charm with a modern day spin. Rich roasted malts with chocolate a l’ancienne. London and Paris at home in one drink. It’s just a few of our favourite things.
Light-medium body with medium high carbonation.
Colour is dark brown with hints of red and purple.

Cowichan Rugby Football Club and the Red Arrow Brewing Company are proud to announce a most exciting venture – the Piggy Pale Ale!
“We have a long history of rugby here
in the Cowichan Valley and a close connection with it among employees at
Red Arrow Brewing Company. We wanted to embrace the camaraderie and
spirit found on the rugby pitch with a unique brew.” ~ Lance Stewart, Red Arrow Brewery
A rather civilized beer. Our storied club
has a rich history of fantastic rugger and countless shenanigans. It
represents an impressive list of characters past & present, who
define the playfulness & honour required to be part of the Cowichan
RFC family. When opposing teams come to town, players know that win or
lose, it is going to be a hard game. They also know that every drop of
blood and sweat left on the field will be replenished back in the
clubhouse with the tip of a pint of some fine ale.
We took our love of the game and pitched
it into this Pale Ale. Pouring a light golden orange this PIGGY has a
medium hop aroma, balanced maltiness and just enough gumption to bring
home the game.
We hope that you love the beer. We love
the name and it’s connection to the sport and the way the Cowichan boys
and girls play. There is relevance to the rural setting that is the
Cowichan farming backdrop, and sure as hell, there is history and honour
in donning the Cowichan Green and Black. We hope that you can attend
the launch on the 26th and continue to support your local brewery and
rugby club. Here’s mud in your eye!
