🌅❄️ New Release Tuesday - Slow Fade Cold IPA! ❄️🌅

When the sun drops behind a glacier, it doesn’t disappear; it burns. Slow Fade is fermented cold and dry on a clean, stripped-back grain bill built to do one thing: let the Simcoe, Citra, Citra Cryo & Lupomax hop additions run. Bright, resinous bitterness cuts through from the first sip like glacier melt, sharp and clarifying, the kind of cold that changes the light on everything. You’ll be halfway through the next one before the first one’s memory has a chance to fade.

Ingredients: Water, Barley, Oats, Hops, Yeast

🎉 Four Years. One Hell of a Saturday.

September 26th, we’re celebrating four years of Small Gods with a party that has a little bit of everything that made year four so special:

• 🏃 10AM • Small Gods Run Club 8K
• 🪡 12PM • Kurt Von Getz' Flash Tattoos
• 🎧 5PM • DJ Ray Spinnin’ Tunes

All day long we're pouring $5 steins of Jacko's Birthday Cask, a beer worth running 8 kilometres for. We're also working with our friends from Kao Gang, House of Boateng, and Sixty Forty, last year's Sidney Speakeasy participants, to design some delicious hot dog specials that our team will be making and pairing with cocktails from Taproom Manager Katie!

Four years in, still bringing our diverse community together, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Come celebrate with us.

🥝❤️‍🔥 New Release Tuesday - Rouenna Passion Fruit Kiwi Sour ❤️‍🔥🥝

The return of our medium-strength sour, loaded with sweet passion fruit and acidic kiwi, complements & comes together to create a zingy fun sour. One of our original release beers, Jonny has tweaked this one over several batches, and we believe this is the best version of this much-loved beer yet! 

Ingredients: Water, Barley, Wheat, Oats, Hops, Passionfruit, Kiwi, Yeast

💥𝟒 - New Release Tuesday - The Big Four Hyperboost IPA w/ Changing Colours Brewing Project | Hoppy Ales & Lagers! - 𝟒💥

Round two with our friends from Changing Colours Brewing Project, Vancouver’s boundary-pushing outfit dedicated to saturated hoppy ales that defy convention. Two breweries, one shared obsession with hops. Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, and Krush arrive in HyperBoost form, a concentrated CO2 hop oil extract that delivers variety-specific aroma that standard pellets can’t match. Tropical fruit, citrus, stone fruit, and a resinous dank punch that builds and lingers. Joey, Dee Dee, Johnny, and Tommy would be proud!

Ingredients: Water, Barley, Oats, Wheat, Hops, Yeast

🍺 Small Gods Run Club merch is here. 🏃‍♀️

We’ve got the forest green & grey Run Club performance tees that feels just as good on a run and as it does at the bar in the taproom, and the one we’re most proud of, a proper Ciele Athletics running cap with our little beer-on-the-run mascot embroidered right on the front.

Run for fun? Run for beer? Honestly, both are valid.

Merch is available in the taproom. Come grab yours before it’s gone.

🍺🏃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💨

🏮 New Release Tuesday - Paper Lanterns Japanese Wit w/ Yuzu & Shiso 🏮

Paper Lanterns are lit to guide the way, and this one leads somewhere worth going. Bright yuzu brings a floral citrus bite that no ordinary lemon could manage, while shiso adds an herbal whisper that lingers just long enough to make you curious. Built on the wheat-forward softness of the classic Belgian style, the whole thing comes together with a delicacy that doesn’t mistake itself for timid. Refined without being serious.

Ingredients: Water, Barley, Wheat, Hops, Yuzu, Shiso, Yeast

New Glass Who Dis⁉️

Our shipment of new glassware has arrived for the taproom, and with that comes larger serving sizes for the same prices we’ve always had (reverse shrinkflation?). Our two primary glasses, the Pilsner & Ale, are now 473mL (16oz), up from 420mL (14oz). We will still use our  Stemmed Tulip glass (420mL / 14oz) for a couple of beer styles - namely fruited sours, Belgians, and high alcohol brews over 8% ABV as we believe that is the most appropriate glassware for those styles, and of course have our 500mL Stiens for Peninsula Lager as our everyday deal!

The old 420ml - 14oz Pilsner & Pub Glasses that many of you know and love will also be on sale for 50% off in the merch bookshelf shortly, so pop in and grab a couple to take home. 

Cheers 🍻

🐆 New Release Tuesday, Panther! Panther! Pink Lemonade Blonde 🐆
 
This panther doesn’t just sneak up on you; it pounces. Tart cranberry, bright raspberry, and a sharp squeeze of lemon hit all at once in this blonde ale, landing somewhere between pink lemonade and something considerably more dangerous. Light on its feet but not shy about flavour, it’s the kind of beer that makes an ordinary afternoon feel like it was planned that way. Backyard, beach, or bad idea, it shows up ready and asks zero questions.

Ingredients: Water, Barley, Oats, Hops, Cranberry, Raspberry, Lemon, Yeast

🏆 The Growlies are BACK! 🏆

Between July 8 and July 26, 2026, you can vote online for the beers, ciders, breweries and cideries you think are the best in B.C. Your votes will determine the winners in each category.

The Growlies are B.C.’s only province-wide craft beer and cider readers’ choice awards, celebrating every style of awesome craft beer and cider B.C. has to offer. Unlike traditional beer awards, the Growlies will be decided by YOU, the beer and cider-drinking public.

With the help of our panel of craft beer and cider experts, we’ve narrowed the field to 8-10 nominees in each beer or cider style category. And if you don’t like our choices, you can write in your own picks instead!

Once the polls close, the final votes will be counted to determine a winner for each category. The results will be published in The Growler’s Fall/Winter 2026 issue, out early September, 2026.

🗳️ Vote in at least 50% of the survey and you’ll be entered to win:
• One of three $50 gift cards to the B.C. brewery or cidery of your choice
• A subscription to The Growler

This is your chance to celebrate the people and pours that make B.C. great. Thanks for participating and good luck!
