This is one beer with a ton of history.

Kingpin is named in honour of George Paris, a Nova Scotian-born, Montreal-raised legend who carved out a legacy as a renowned drummer on the Vancouver jazz scene.

This ‘hep cat’ made the most of his nine lives banging the skins in local speakeasies during the Prohibition era.

His prolific and prodigious power over percussion earned him his stylish sobriquet as ‘the kingpin of the drummers’.

A Pale Ale that combines Cascade and Mosaic hops for a fruit-forward backbeat and a hop-forward papaya and citrus finish that’ll snare you, Kingpin is a true original, much like George.

Drum roll, please. All hail the Kingpin.
