from dead frog brewery: Dead Frog and Red Dragon Apparel Collaborate on Red Dragon Imperial Red Ale ​ ​Aldergrove, BC — Dead Frog Brewery is pleased to announce the release of a new Imperial Red Ale, an exciting new collaboration with legendary Vancouver-based international skateboarding icons, Red Dragon Apparel. The partnership came about when Red Dragon approached Dead Frog last year. "We’ve always been a fan of Dead Frog and their beer line," said Matt Meadows, Marketing Manager for Red Dragon Apparel. "So when considering the idea of doing a collaboration brew, they were our first and only choice! As we began talks with Dead Frog, right off the bat they understood what we were looking for in an RDS beer – a strong ale that makes no excuses for what it is, just like RDS. For Dead Frog, Red Dragon's brand immediately suggested a strong red ale in keeping with the power of that mythical creature. "I

update from central city brewing: Central City Rescues Real Detective Saison From Evil Imposter   Surrey, B.C. – In a murky case of stolen identity, Central City Brewers + Distillers has successfully rescued the real Detective Saison , who was kidnapped last week by thugs working against the brewer. An imposter posed as Detective Saison, deceiving the brewer. But in a city where corruption and crime rule all, justice is brewing… With the help of the craft beer community, Central City saw through the imposter and took matters into their own hands, exposing the imposter, and freeing the real Detective Saison who was held captive at an undisclosed location. “She managed to escape her capture, fighting off the thugs and freeing herself.” says Tim Barnes, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Central City Brewers + Distillers. “Now the real Detective Sarah Saison is back, and she’s not happy that she was impersonated.” On March 5th, Central City was alerted that the ori

my notes from yesterday's beer column on cbc radio's on the coast with gloria macarenko: The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer – the conditions are perfect for a “brewery stroll”.   I use the term “stroll” rather than “crawl” to get away from the concept of a drunken, and usually messy, contest to drink the most beer at the most places in the least amount of time.   And also to differentiate it from a brewery tour.   A brewery stroll could definitely include a brewery tour or two - the stroll is about taking your time and exploring a neighbourhood or area of town via its tasting rooms and craft beer pubs. Run: There is at least one running group in Vancouver that runs to breweries, pubs and restaurants ( East Van Run Crew ).   It’s a very efficient use of time to fit in a work out during social drinking – not to mention a way to net out your calories at zero! Cycle: If you’re going to be filling growlers, though, you might prefer to cycle be
