A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of being invited to a special beer tour put together for beer bloggers as an introduction to the Vine & hops Wine and Craft Beer Tour Company. From what I gathered, they are targeting clients who are interested in customizable private tours as well as running…
Local Surrey, BC based Central City Brewing has been brewing up a storm of beer and cider in recent years since they expanded into a new huge location a few years back. New for 2016, they have designed, brewed and released two exciting Radlers, one that’s made with their Hopping Mad Cider and one that’s made with…
Central City Winter Cask Festival 2015: In BC I would say this is one of the larger cask events that is offered, this particular one featuring 39 casks from 37 breweries which is kind of crazy when you think about it. The Winter Cask Fest is held annually in January at the Central City Brewpub location in…
BC Beer Awards: So I am super late to the game in writing up my review of this event, I mean everyone has probably seen multiple copies of the list of 2014 Award Winners posted on many great sites. In fact I even shared my favourite of the reviews by Mike’s Craft Beer on twitter already (it’s good,…
Stone Brewing Canadian Launch & Tap Takeover: If you were lucky enough to win tickets to this event like I was, you would have gotten an invite to attend the Stone Launch Party at the Craft Beer Market in Vancouver, BC on October 20th for what I believe was the very first of many multi-city and…
Bacon Fest: Was hosted in Burnaby on International Bacon Day, also known as Saturday, August 30th at this local urban farm called Urban Digs Farm. First a little bit about this farm, I subscribe to a weekly CSA called Farm City Coop where each week you get a selection of veggies and greens (aka hippie food) that…
Casks for Surrey Memorial Hospital Fundraiser: was presented by South Fraser Beer Club and hosted at Big Ridge Brewing Co this past Thursday, August 28th starting at 6pm. This event was created by Scott to show his appreciation for Surrey Memorial who earlier in the year saved his daughter’s life from a near drowning incident. Both of…
Brassneck X CAMRA BC Brewery BBQ – was a CAMRA members only event that ran from 12-4 on Sunday, July 27th 2014 at Brassneck Brewery. At this craft beer event there were 12 taps and 2 casks available to chose from and your ticket included a plate of BBQ food from Railtown Cafe. You would have…
The Spud Shack Fry Company – Located in New Westminster in the mall attached to the New Westminster Skytrain Station is this small, trendy little counter service restaurant that specializes in fries, poutine, burgers, sandwiches and a decent selection of Craft Beer bottles (go to http://www.spudshack.ca for their menu and other information). They also do catering,…
So I finally had a chance to head down to another brewery that has recently opened in Greater Vancouver (actually New Westminster to be exact) which, based on all the feedback so far is totally worth the trek out there. I understand they have been making beer for a bit, but only recently opened up…
As a Father’s Day gift this year, I decided to take my dad to the Washington Brewers Festival (Friday night only) to go and try some different offerings from our neighbors in the South. I have tried a lot of Washington beers and been to different festivals here before and they always seem to be…
So I went to the VCBW Belgian Showcase at Biercraft last night and I wanted to write up my review while the memories were still fresh. All in all the event was really good as there was lots of beer, it was all inclusive and they had some decent food options available for consumption. I…

Here is a map of Vancouver’s breweries that are within a 20 minute drive of downtown. I have included Bomber Brewing, Main Street Brewing, Red Truck Brewing, Black Kettle Brewing and Steel Toad Brew Pub, which haven’t opened yet, but will be soon! While there are nearly 30 breweries…
I am starting to notice that the “pub culture” is expanding outside metro Vancouver, primarily by these guys and a few other brewers, beyond just the normal crappy pubs that have been here for years. Needless to say, I actually like this transformation as these places are moving away from the cheap drunkard places and…
I decided to get a quick taster tray at Green Leaf Brewing, sampling four of their beers on tap. I am big fan of taster trays as its a perfect way to try lots of beer, for less money, with less alcohol consumption (especially for places that only sell their offerings in 22oz bottles). I…
One of the great things about living in Vancouver is that you live pretty close to other cool cities like Seattle. I make an annual trek to the city for Comic Con because I can be a bit of a nerd and at the same time it make a great excuse to go beer shopping,…
It’s nice to had a place you can drop in, sample some beer and still be home on time for dinner – travel via transit of course, would not recommend driving immediately after even a pint of craft beer. Rogue Wetbar offers these sampler trays for a $7.99 which I think is a reasonable price for…
Casks of March event at Big Ridge Brewery: Featuring 7 different casks from 7 unique breweries this even was held in the Surrey, BC Big Ridge Brewery Location. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but with no cover charge and 7 sampler tickets for $13 I was certainly interested in attending this event, and…
