Introduction

The Gahan line is a series of handcrafted ales brewed and distributed by the handy crew at PEI Brewing Company. Started in 2013, PEI Brewing is dedicated to reflecting the deep character of the Island. PEI is a unique environment and craft brewing scene, often gearing their work toward a collective improvement of the brewing and living situation across PEI as a whole. The Brewing Company slips disc golf championships, fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis, Christmas Galas for the underprivileged, and a few bowling tournaments in between the rounds of malts, hops, and bottling. The idea behind PEI Brewing is to have a company that makes beer with their island, not just to sell to them. And normally it can be pretty tough to taste these great selections unless you’ve crossed water for them. Now they’re making their way across Canada, right into your waiting and thirsty hands. The 1772 is an American IPA, but made with a Canadian tilt. There’s a boat-load of Canadian barley used in the malt and a selection of clean, sharp bitter hops selected for it. Serves well at 6°C and should be enjoyed right away.


How it looks

Pours a burnished golden colour with a slightly hazy body and medium carbonation. A thin cap of chunky white foam pours from the can and mostly hangs around.

How it smells

Floral and citrus notes hit the nose right away, along with a sweet toasted malt and herbal leafiness that smells of black tea.

How it tastes

Classic IPA flavours of big, juicy tropical fruits including mandarin, mango, pineapple, and citrus that takes a slightly bitter turn as the taste evolves. It has a medium body in the mouth that helps prop up the flavour where the malt doesn’t seem to be doing much, and it all flows into a fairly smooth finish. This beer leans heavily on the tropical fruit element but it does feel a little weak without something to provide backbone.

Recommended food pairing

Crack open some crab and get some corn on the cob to go with it. No crab? Rib-eye medium rare with roasted veggies.
