Five Vancouver Island breweries have partnered together to offer a unique flavour experience B次元官网网址� all while helping the Southern Resident Killer Whales.
The Pod Pack, presented by Vancouver Island Brewing is a collaborated effort between Nanaimo-based White Sails Brewing, Port Alberni-based Twin City Brewing, Victoria-based Isle Sauvage Brewing and Comox-based Land and Sea Brewing. For each sale of the four-pack beer, $1 will go the Pacific Salmon Foundation.

Each brewery approached Vancouver Island Brewing with an idea of what flavour they wanted to produce and offered an original recipe. Vancouver Island Brewing then made up the batch and tweaked each recipe based on the corresponding companyB次元官网网址檚 feedback.
In the end, the resulting flavours include Ocean Sun, a double IPA by White Sails Brewing; Rainshadow, a blackberry-raspberry sour by Twin City Brewing; Mystic, a dry hopped sour by Isle Sauvage Brewing; and Deadhead, a hazy session IPA by Land and Sea Brewing. Each beer is wrapped with an orca decal for full effect.

From the pod packs alone Vancouver Island Brewing hopes to raise $17,000 for the Pacific Salmon Foundation, though sales from the breweryB次元官网网址檚 Pod Party on July 20 may bring the total up to $20,000.
The last shipments of the Pod Pack are heading out to stores on Monday, so Bjerrisgaard anticipates they will be sold out by the end of the week. However, plans are already in place to run the project again next year.
B次元官网网址淭his will turn into an annual thing based on how well it was received, and based on how fun it was,B次元官网网址� Bjerrisgaard said.
