The Yellowknife Golf Club is in the midst of celebrating 75 years of business in 2023. Along the way, there have been some commemorative items for people to get their hands on, such as a replica of the flag seen adorning all of the pins on the course.

Another one of those souvenirs involves one that can be consumed and itSA国际影视传媒檚 going down smoothly so far, according to Kylie Frederick, the clubSA国际影视传媒檚 head pro and director of golf operations.

ThereSA国际影视传媒檚 a beer for sale at the club called Tee Time. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 a blonde ale created specially for this season by the NWT Brewing Company and itSA国际影视传媒檚 been a popular addition to the beverage options this season, said Frederick.

The idea for the beer came after Frederick paid a visit to the PGA of AlbertaSA国际影视传媒檚 buying show in Edmonton last October.

SA国际影视传媒淚 saw some breweries down there and they had designed some beer-related products for companies,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淚 wondered how we could get something like that up here, so I spoke with the clubSA国际影视传媒檚 board of directors and presented the pitch.SA国际影视传媒�

From there, the idea grew into getting in touch with the crew at the brewery in Old Town to see what they could come up with.

Shaun Morris, the golf clubSA国际影视传媒檚 president, said his team worked with the brewery on a design for the can and the recipe.

SA国际影视传媒淜ylieSA国际影视传媒檚 the expert on beer SA国际影视传媒� ISA国际影视传媒檓 not much of a beer drinker myself, so she had a lot of input,SA国际影视传媒� he said.

SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檓 an avid craft beer drinker and I wanted to have a nice refreshing ale of some kind, nothing too heavy,SA国际影视传媒� added Frederick. SA国际影视传媒淎les are good because they donSA国际影视传媒檛 take as long to brew as a lager and ales arenSA国际影视传媒檛 as hoppy as lagers. ThatSA国际影视传媒檚 always good.SA国际影视传媒�

The can design was mostly in the hands of Morris; the original design was the specially-designed logo in honour of the clubSA国际影视传媒檚 platinum jubilee anniversary. The new, and current, design features a silhouette of a golfer teeing off in front of the original clubhouse and pro shop from 1948, which was a hollowed-out fuselage.

That new design was unveiled during the Canadian North Midnight Classic tournament late last month.

SA国际影视传媒�(Shaun) and I thought that the old photo would be a great design,SA国际影视传媒� said Frederick.

As of Thursday, the club has already gone through the first batch of brew, which Morris said amounted to approximately 1,400 473-ml cans. They are on to the second batch.

SA国际影视传媒淲e have another order for 30 flats (720 cans) incoming, so we could come close to going into a third batch before the year is out,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淭he original plan was to sell it for just this season, but who knows? We may do something like this again if thereSA国际影视传媒檚 demand for it.SA国际影视传媒�

Frederick added that the beer is selling very well.

SA国际影视传媒淧eople love the idea of it,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 never been done before at the club and it catches the eye. People like trying something new and the brewery did an amazing job creating a great beer. It tastes really good SA国际影视传媒� ISA国际影视传媒檒l attest to that.SA国际影视传媒�
