Big Rig collaborates with the Ride for Dad Not even a year old, and the
popular local brewpub that proudly bears the nickname of popular Ottawa Senators Defenseman Chris Phillips, a.k.a. “Big Rig”, has stepped up to support the local community and this year’s local Ride for Dad Prostate Cancer Research and Awareness Initiative.
Big Rig’s Brew Master Lon
Ladell has created this year’s version of Big Iron Arse Ale. It’s a special private-label, limited-run custom brew presented in 1,000 collectable commemorative growlers. Proceeds from the sale of the beer will go
towards the Ride for Dad event. I think this collaboration is a great fi t and hope its partnership will grow for years to come.
Big Rig Iron Arse Ale (5% ABV)
pours a pale light copper with two fi ngers of tan foam head, releasing light fl oral hop and sweet grassy-fruity-malt aromas. The fl avours of slightly-sweet
lemon, with soft green apple, caramel and bready malt are pleasing to the palate. This light-bodied and mildly- carbonated brew is refreshing. This beer is great for relaxing on
the patio or as a quenching reward after yard work. Simple summer food pairings would include lighter barbecued fare such as chicken, cedar- planked salmon, burgers, dogs and mild sausages as well as fresh baked pretzels. Bon appetit! Big Rig Kitchen & Brewery is
located at 2750 Iris Road in Ottawa. This limited release growler and beer is only available there. (
