I was in severe dismay when I had to give one of my favourite beers a bad rating, so I stacked the cards in its favour today. Previously I had to make excuses… it was too warm, I drank a bottle of crappy beer just before hand. I was in a bad mood, I don’t [...]
From 1889 to 1882 a group of visionary cricket players built Brockton Oval, at Brockton Point on the eastern tip of Vancouver Island. Mighty trees were felled, ground was leveled, and one of the most beautiful pitches in the world was born. A century later, the same cricket players made the Brockton IPA!! Granville Island [...]
Granville Island Brewing makes Vancouver’s favourite beers, or at least so they say. They are the first microbrewery in Canada, and name their beers after our local neighbourhoods. If you are from Vancouver, or BC, or Canada, or Earth, you should try all of their beer. Save some for me! The Cypress Honey Lager is [...]
Yah, something happened and I lost some photos of the beer. That’s too bad. Instead, here is a lovely photo of NewPort Village in Port Moody. It’s a lovely neighbourhood, and its Port Moody’s version of Granville Island. Segway to the Island Lager. (I will replace this photo, by the way, someday). The colour was [...]
For some reason, I did not take a photo of this beer, so I put a photo in that I took of Kelowna’s Mission Hill Winery. I decided not to follow convention, and go for an IPA first. Tree Brewing is a Kelowna brewery and their Hop Head was not included in their variety pack, [...]
Granville Island is a small island right in the heart of the city of Vancouver. It’s name alone makes you think of art, crafts, outdoor jugglers, rollerbladers, yachts, kayaks and fresh fruit and vegetables. One gem in the center of Granville Island is Granville Island Brewing. GIB opened in 1984 and is Canada’s first microbrewery. [...]

The Apricot Wheat Ale is a seasonal beer meant to be “something different.” Other seasonal beers brewed by McAuslan include a pumpkin ale, and a raspberry ale, and a strong winter ale, all of which [...]
Nelson Brewing is located in the lovely town of Nelson, British Columbia, famous for the 1988 BC Winter Games, and the filming of the movie Roxanne, starring Steve Martin. Nothing else! Until Nelson Brewing came along a case of years ago, serving exclusively organic brews to the masses. Today it’s the Nelson Brewing Liplock Hefeweizen. [...]
So, we did take a short break, had dinner, but the sun is still shining as it does in June, until about 10pm in Vancouver. My “G-score” is 6 (that means this beer is my 6th beer of the day), but I have still made some sensible analysis of this brew. The city of Nelson [...]
