Steam White Stout from Steamworks Brewing Company in Burnaby, Canada is a hybrid style that merges stout and pale ale in an unconventional way. It pours pale like an ale but delivers the full, dark character you'd expect from a stout. Brewed with barley and oats, the beer draws its complexity from prominent coffee and cacao notes that emerge throughout.

The flavour is rich and deep despite its deceptive pale appearance—a playful contradiction that Steamworks has executed with purpose. The beer balances strong coffee tones with the body of a traditional stout, creating an intriguing and well-rounded drink that challenges expectations.
