Chinchaga Cream Ale takes it’s name from the 1950 Chinchaga Fire, North America’s largest blaze in recorded history.  Given a lack of settlements in the area the blaze was allowed to burn freely, ultimately covering 1.7 Million hectares.  For comparison, the Jasper Wildfire covered 39,000 hectares.  The Chinchaga fire created the world’s largest smoke layer in the upper atmosphere.  The effects of this “Great Smoke Pall” were seen widely in the northern hemisphere, including Toronto streetlights turning on in mid-day.  As for the beer there are no surprises here, but it does lie on the light side for a cream ale, making this easy drinking style even easier to drink, maybe even downright crushable.
