Matt Hodgson's Picks

☀️ Summer Picks

Freshly back on our shelves, Candid Brewing out of Antigonish has returned with one of my favourite summer crushers.

Little Rippa is an Australian Pale Ale that delivers everything I want on a hot day. Bright tropical fruit, a touch of dankness, and a crisp bitterness that keeps you coming back for another sip. Whether you’re headed to the beach, the lake, or just relaxing on the patio, this is the kind of beer that’s dangerously easy to enjoy.

The beer alone would earn my recommendation, but it gets bonus points for the can art. The kangaroo looks suspiciously like my dog, Elton—and every time I crack one open, I can’t help but laugh.
