Vancouver B.C. ...

Steamworks is bringing back two limited release brews for the winter season, with the return of their Award-Winning Blitzen and popular White Stout.

Steamworks White Stout is back for a second year following a very successful launch last winter. This confusing beer pours golden in colour but has the full bodied coffee and chocolate flavours of a stout. This juxtaposition is achieved by ageing the beer with cacao beans from East Van Roasters and coffee beans from Hastings-Sunrise's Pallet Coffee Roasters. Confusion aside, the coffee and chocolate combined with the lighter body make for an extremely quaffable beer perfect for beer lovers of all styles.

Steamworks Blitzen is a multi award-winning Belgian Tripel. Apple and Citrus aromas give way to a toasted malt character, it's a holiday treat that packs a punch at 9% ABV. The beer is a yearly fan favourite.

Both beers will be on shelves and taps across BC as of this week as well as available at the Steamworks Brewpub in Gastown and brewery/taproom at 3845 William St in Burnaby.
