An interview with Alex, co-owner of Another Beer Co, about the successes and challenges of operating a brewery in its first year, during a global pandemic.
Gavin Hamilton, a Scotsman who began his career as an apprentice clerk for the Hudson’s Bay Company at Fort Langley, apparently shot and killed not one, but three bears with a double barrel shotgun on a canoe trip while hunting for wild ducks.
Steel & Oak in New Westminster has been known for churning out some unique and interesting seasonal releases that help differentiate them from other BC breweries.
Guinness Nitro Stout & Guinness Beer Flavored Chips Pairing: This was one of those spur of the moment beer pairings that started with the question “hey do you want some Guinness chips?”. After grabbing that bag of chips from the grocery store, I felt compelled to pick up a can of Guinness and try them for…
Belgian Blonde POG-mosa: The following beer cocktail is inspired by a traditional mimosa, however the champagne is replaced with beer and the typical orange juice mixer has been swapped out for some tropical Hawaiian style POG juice (Pineapple, Orange, Guava) for added flavour. The key to making this a good beer cocktail is to find a very…
Over the last two years, Central City Brewing has created a collaboration craft beer advent calendar with Parallel 49 Brewing to help spread the beer festivities for Canadian craft beer lovers. The mandate this past year was to include 12 brand new beer recipes in their calendars, six new one’s per brewery which not only…
Tequila Berliner Sun Weisse: The following beer cocktail is inspired by a classic Tequila Sunrise cocktail and the common practice of adding syrups to Berliner Weisse beers for added flavour and/or aging them in Tequila barrels. Here I’ve essentially combined the two ideas into a beer cocktail that captures the essential flavours of each ingredient while…
I occasionally ponder why some of the delicious barrel aged beers out there always seem to be brewed to massive, hard to finish in one sitting, put you to sleep alcohol strengths. For example, it often takes me at least 2-3 hours to finish one 22oz bottle of barrel aged Imperial Stout simply because it…
Beneficial Brew – The Unexpected Health Benefits of Beer: The folks at fix.com and ghergich.com reached out and asked me if I was interested in posting this info-graphic on my blog. I certainly believe that in moderation there are at least a few good health benefits to beer, especially locally produced craft beer so I am more than happy to…
It’s been an entire year since this happened and today I crushed another Old Style Pilsner in honour of my brother in law, casting another toast to the towards heaven. Today will always be a tough day for us and I intend to carry on this tradition for as long as I can, with this…

The week itself was very work focused for me so not a lot of travel or adventuring beyond my laptop, however I did manage to get out twice to sample food and beer. First I manged to get to Spud Shack and reviewed their poutine and had some craft beer, needless to say it was…
Vancouver weather went from hot to normal this past week, with a bit of rain in a few spots here and there as well as some forest fire relief in northern BC. We had a fun week which started with a local Vancouver Canadians game with work people and ended with a camping trip to…
Wow a week went by really fast and it was sweltering here in Vancouver (and still is), we actually dragged out the portable AC, but hey its not raining so I am happy. We had some fun attending Family Movie Night in Queens Park, New Westminster and saw Frozen for what seems like the ten thousandth…
I had this past week off and managed to go back to Porteau Cove when the weather was nice (yay!) and lazed around relaxing and doing lots of fun family stuff for the rainy days. I survived a trip to Build-a Bear, physically not financially, but at least the kids love their new $75 stuffed…
This past week marked the end of pretty much all the kids registered activities (yay free weekends!), however it also means I won’t be coaching my daughter’s U7 girls soccer team until the Fall, which although I enjoy the break it is still bitter sweet as we had a wonderful team of kids and supportive…
Last week I actually got a chance to adventure around Vancouver, just north of it to be exact, in Porteau Cove BC Provincial Park which is one of my absolute favourite places to camp due to it’s awesomeness and relative closeness to where I live. We are avid campers (we’ll call it luxury tenting) and have…

This past week was all about recovering from our kids birthday party and getting ready to go to the Washington Brewers Festival with my dad. In terms of craft beer, I continued to consume some of the beers I rounded up from my cellar space rediscovering some bottles I had forgotten about. It was a…
This week I continued to clean out my cellar the fun way, separating bottles into drink soon, cellar longer and drink very soon. As well I sorted a 48 bottle haul from the USA that I brought back from a trip over the long weekend where I picked up some nice Dogfish Head bottles, some…
Continuing my work on The Monday Mash I felt inspired by the kick off of VCBW (and a recent sort of my cellar last week) to drink some really good BC beers as well as a few other imports that I re-discovered. Sadly I also had my first real skunked beer and a really bad local…
Beer Cocktail Review – Beermosa: Made with 50/50 split of Trader Joe’s (via Unibroue) Golden Belgian Ale and OJ, this beer version of a Mimosa was enjoyed at home – I reviewed the actual beer in this cocktail here. Aroma and Appearance: It looks like slightly diluted, yellow OJ and has an aroma of oranges and coriander.…
I am trying something new here so please bear with me, I wanted to start a weekly recap of craft beer, adventures and other interesting and related things on the net worth sharing. I’ve decided to call it the Monday Mash because it’s mostly beer related. Let me know what you think, anything else I…
Missing an “e” perhaps? It really changes the meaning of this craft beer price label!
Happy National Home Brew Day to all the home brewers out there, it’s your dedication and creativity that has gradually led to all the great craft beers we have out there. Here are my three recent brews, two Smoked Wheat Beers (one with chestnuts added) and a Chocolate Maple Porter. I brew these in small…
One thing I love the most about beer is that overall, it is pretty easy to make decent stuff at home with a very small investment and a little bit of time, effort and patience. This particular beauty I brewed on the day Canada beat Sweden for the Gold Medal in Olympic Hockey, it is…

I’ve previously shared a post about my beer-specific glassware collection, which I’ve been lucky to upgrade in the past couple years. The idea of a proper glass for a specific beer seems almost second nature to me, but I still get curious looks or reactions from…
I would say on a scale of 1-5, I have leveled up to a level 4 beer geek. How can that be, well I home brew, I blog about beer, I attend festivals, I have a respectable cellar, I have a Level 1 Beer Enthusiast Certification, I host the odd tasting party (I own 10…
