‘Icehole Lager’ beer to debut in Canada

If you’re going to be in the Vancouver area this next month or so, you might have the opportunity to check out a very unique brew.

In response to Stephen Colbert calling Canadians a bunch of syrup suckers and iceholes for not letting the U.S. Olympic Speedskating team practice on the ice oval, Vancouver’s R&B microbrewery has created a very special lager. Barry Benson, co-owner of R&B Brewing Co. says “We are proud syrup-sucking Canadian iceholes. In celebration of our icehole-ish behaviour we have decided to get even rather than get mad. Canadians can wreak their revenge against Stephen Colbert in a truly Canadian way and have a beer.”

You can check out the beer at these release parties:

Friday, February 5th
Pumphouse Pub
5:00-9:00pm
