CAMRA Kitsilano Cask Carouse

Comments 70 by Rebecca Bollwitt

The Kitsilano Cask Carouse is coming up this month, presented by CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) Vancouver. There will be 4-stops on the tour, each with a different cask-conditioned ale made by one of BC’s craft breweries. Tour guests will receive an appetizer to pair with each sleeve and the stops will also feature a speaker who will educate participants on a variety of beer topics.

Kitsilano Cask Carouse

Where: Meet at the Safeway on West 4th at Vine
When: Saturday, April 21, 2012 check-in at 11:30am

    I enjoyed the beer tour at Granville Island Brewery. I’ve done that one twice with different people. A few friends created our own beer tour one summer. I also want to visit Dead Frog Brewery. This tour is a great idea.

    I love Dead Frog too. Glad that they got some help from the Big Decision. My favourite beer from them is their Nut Brown Ale but they are all good.

  28. RayThursday, April 12th, 2012 — 8:59pm PDT

  42. CameronSaturday, April 14th, 2012 — 10:07am PDT

    My latest favorite (aren’t they all favorites) is “R & B Brewing”. They are in East Van just off Main Street, and at the Naam they serve their Raven Cream Ale in a frosty mug. Its dark and chocolaty – order a pint because a glass is just not enough.

  43. EileenSaturday, April 14th, 2012 — 10:16am PDT

    Red Truck Ale. It has a good body and flavour, and pairs nicely with all food. But I really want to try the R & B Raspberry.

  44. sher bSaturday, April 14th, 2012 — 5:03pm PDT

    Stanley Park Brewing is a great little microbrewery that the rest of Canada should really have access to. Or not 🙂

  45. Sandy PellSaturday, April 14th, 2012 — 5:03pm PDT

    Mhmmm… Granville Island’s Winter Ale all the way. There’s something about that sweet, vanilla flavor that gets me with every sip! Thanks again for this opportunity @Miss604, and also for being a strong supporter of HootSuite 😉

  46. Susan UrsuliakSaturday, April 14th, 2012 — 5:04pm PDT
