Last night John and I were able to get our first tastes of the new Brockton IPA from Granville Island Brewing at their media launch event. I recently became a fan of the GIB Winter Ale, which I compare to drinking vanilla and pine trees (but in the most tasty sense possible, I assure you). […]

Wednesday evening we headed to the local beer & wine shop with Keira so that she could collect the standard thank you for helping me move brews. They didn’t have a run-of-the-mill selection, mostly imports and micro-brews, however we did get a brief education about cask brewing and ending up picking up a pack of […]

I’m all for events that are a) for the public b) free so I thought I would quickly highlight this Big Rock Brewing meet and greet session that will take place at the BC Liquor Store at 39th & Cambie (5555 Cambie Street). From 3:00pm to 7:00pm on Thursday March 26th Ryan McMahon will be […]

I stopped by Cupcakes with my mother at lunch time today and proceeded to be enchanted by their Irish cream/buttercream cupcake. I don’t often spend over $3 on a Cupcake but let me tell you, it was worth every bite. This rich, creamy, and indulgent creation reminded me that it was St Patrick’s Day. Actually, […]

Have you seen this while driving across the Burrard Bridge or heading out of Kits? This morning there will be an unveiling at the Molson Brewery and I’m running over to cover it. We’ve had a few phone calls this morning and an inquiry on twitter regarding the black draping on our brewery in Vancouver. […]

At the recent Gibson’s Finest Iron Bar Competition and Molson Brewery experience I got to learn the ropes when it comes to tasting some mighty fine spirits. This week all are invited to attend the 12th annual Hopscotch Festival around Vancouver to sip and sample whisky and premium beers from around the world. In addition […]

Arriving for the Brew 2.0 event last night we weren’t too sure what to expect but found ourselves in for a treat once we entered the confines of the Molson Brewery on Burrard. We started off by mingling and having some beers from the tap, although when I asked the man behind the counter for […]

It’s no secret that (especially during hockey season), I love a good pint. Also, when I think of beer + blogging I think of John and Duane, so it’s only fitting that we’ve received invites to Molson’s unique “Brew 2.0” evening that will be taking place later this month. The event will also be a […]

I’m a big fan of local brews and this city has a wonderfully blended history when it comes to beer (even the girl in the wet suit knows that). Photo credit: Duane Storey on Flickr In 2005 the folks at Just Here For the Beer decided it was time to put Vancouver on Canada’s beer […]
