An Ode to Alton

You may be wondering why I’ve completely skipped Christmas, New Year’s, Valentine’s and Robbie Burnes, when all offer such excellent beer worshiping opportunities. So many seasonal brews, so many fantastic foodie moments missed. But don’t worry, I have a really really good reason. I am…

Outdrink-run the Zombie Apocalypse

It’s not that I believe in ‘zombies’ per say, anymore than I believe in ‘free market capitalism’ or ‘just one more drink’. But sometimes these things creep out of the dark crevices of my mind to frighten me when I least expect it.  Around Halloween…

Get Your Stinking Paws Off My Porter

I hear tribal drums, pounding out their secret messages between the usual cacophony of sounds produced by the deep, dark jungle.  We’re on the Dark Continent.  Or maybe South/Central America.  Either way, it’s jungle-y, mysterious and most of all… chocolatey.  I’m talking about the real…

Time to Get Blitzen!

Dear Santa, Aren’t you just so friggin tired of cookies and milk? I mean, clearly by your jolly physique you are a lover of food (or a victim of extreme low metabolism), but even you must yearn to switch it up every now and again.…

11% of Heaven: Howe Sound’s Wooley Bugger Barley Wine

This Thirsty Thursday is a quickie – at 11% ABV per glass, Howe Sound’s new seasonal on-tap Wooley Bugger barley wine quickly becomes difficult to write about. I was lucky enough to be at the Howe Sound Pub the day they hooked this up to…

Ode to Hibernation

If you live in the Greater Vancouver Area and beyond, you’ve likely noticed that it’s been a friggin blizzard out there today. For most of us around the Lower Mainland, we know it’s extremely odd to get this much snow at this time of the…
