Just got their Eastern promises a week ago. Awesome beer! They are sold in many BC liquor stores in bottle and can now.

I got two kegs of their cream ale a couple of years ago and everyone at the party loved it.

Had a russell at BC Place at last Lions game...for stadium beer, it was really good. glad to support a BC brewery instead of drinking one of those big brands. even better that the beer tastes good.

Tried the Lemon Ale this past weekend and absolutely loved it. Here's hoping Russell can add to its line-up at BC Place this season! I'm also excited to see this Company's product out at retail now... just in time for summer.

Cream Ale by far the best beer in Vancouver... Also tried their Winter Porter for the first time the other night at Las Margaritas and was quite impressed.

The Russell Pale Ale on tap at Black's Pub at the base of Whistler was the best beer I had that week by far. Excellent diacetyl-y English pale ale flavor, right up there with the best pale ales I've ever had. This was a relief, as I was getting tired of bottles of Granville Pale Ale, the best thing at many bars. I went to Steamworks, Howe Sound, and the High Mountain Brewhouse that week, and the Russell tap was my favorite.

Buzz Rozwell, Vancouver (rozwell@upstairsrecording) 27/12/2005 Russell has grown A LOT since the initial review of this brand. Whatever was said there is not indicative of the present beers being brewed at Russell. This is a high quality brewery brewing 5 or 6 fantastic beers. Look out for them - they're not going to be a tiny micro brewery for long. Recently voted runner up to Okanagan Springs in the Georgia Straight Readers Choice awards for Best Local Brewery. Good Stuff check it out - in lots of bars and fine restaurants around the city. Rumours are there's a bottled product coming.
