when i heard that bomber brewing wasn't going to have an oktoberfest this year, i realized that if i wanted to go to one i was going to have to look outside vancouver.
how about seattle?


Sunday, October 4 from 4PM to 8PM 
Benefits Pike Place Market Foundation

Ticket includes 10 drink tickets, authentic PIKETOBERFEST beer mug, all food, music and discounted parking at Russell Investment Center garage.

Celebrate the harvest season at PIKETOBERFEST- a Beer, Charcuterie and Harvest Festival. Featuring local meats, sauerkrauts, cheeses and more, paired with craft beers, wines and spirits.  Compare our regional food and drinks to their classic German counterparts and toast Piketoberfest with live music in Pike Brewing's Microbrewery Museum and Brewery. This annual food and drink tasting event benefits the Pike Place Market Foundation. PIKETOBERFEST is a 21+ event. 


PIKETOBERFEST features locally brewed German and other styles of beer from Pike Brewing, Reuben's Brews, Triplehorn Brewing, Silver City, Stoup, Sumerian Brewing and Twin Rivers Brewing. Enjoy them alongside German craft biers selected by Merchant Du Vin, NBG Imports and Click Distributing.
Guests will also be able to compare local craft spirits from Westland, Copperworks and Sidetrack distilleries with imported German liqueurs. Cider drinkers will be treated to tastes from Tieton Cider Works.

Though beer comes to mind at Oktoberfest, Germany celebrates the harvest season with some of the world's greatest wines. PIKETOBERFEST proudly presents an opportunity to compare the classic wines of Germany with fantastic local wines of similar style.

Flavorful bites will be served by Uli's Sausage, Brave Horse Tavern, Bavarian Meats, Field Roast, Honest Biscuits, Oly Kraut, Britt's Pickles, Willapa Hills Cheese, Macrina Bakery, Grand Central Bakery and The Pike Pub. 


There will be an abundance of extraordinary foods to sample, but it is important to remember that not all people are so fortunate to enjoy the season's bounty. For this reason, PIKETOBERFEST is an annual benefit for the Pike Place Market Foundation, supporting their medical services, low income housing, child care and other social services to people in need.

brewing up gender parity

My article on gender parity is on the Growler website! BREWING UP GENDER PARITY: THE QUEST FOR BEERQUALITY REBECCA WHYMAN •  JUNE 13, 2019 Women are markedly underrepresented in craft beer. This is not news to anyone. But have you ruminated on just how large the gender gap is?  A 2018 survey by Nielsen-Harris  found American craft beer drinkers are 68.5 per cent male and 31.5 per cent female. Closer to home,  BeerMeBC’s 2018 survey  had those numbers at 71 and 29 per cent, with 0.32 per cent identifying as “other.” For those not so strong in the math department, that means that there are only three women drinking craft beer for every seven men. If you were a straight man looking for a date, you wouldn’t like those odds at all. And I can tell you, as one of those three women, it’s not much fun being outnumbered everywhere I go to enjoy my beloved craft beer, delightful as those seven men may be. Drinking craft beer is the easy part—when we move into the sections of craft

zywiec polish beer

and now for something completely different a polish beer! zywiec - and i have no idea how to pronounce that! its poland's #1 premium beer (according to the bottle) it has a thermometer label when you can see the name in colour, its the right temperature to drink sounds a bit too much like those darned mountains that turn blue when the piss-poor mass market beer is cold enough to not give you any indication of its stinky nose but i digress... pours wonderfully clear light caramel colour nice head on the vigourous pour 5.5% this is a lager i can get into! crisp and mildly hopped its everything a pilsner should be and its delicious a great session beer on the bottle:  "since 1856 this premium beer has been brewed according to the original zywiec brewer's recipe from the best natural ingredients.  contains finest malted barley, choicest hops and pure mountain water." no clue what the website says as its in polish but wikipedia has this little histor

LABEL OF LOVE: THE CREATIVE WORLD OF MODERN BEER CAN ART REBECCA WHYMAN •  OCTOBER 15, 2018 Clockwise from top left: Electric Bicycle Brewing Co.; Mikkeller’s Hallo Ich Bin Berliner Weisee; the beer label artwork of Vancouver artist Patrick Wong; Superflux’s Superfluousness. Contributed/file photos You can’t help it, I can’t help it—we all judge beers by their labels, maybe as much as we judge the beer itself. Beer labels have been around for ages: 83 years on cans, and much longer than that on bottles. It appears we’ve been loving beer labels for that whole time—just check out all the vintage labels you can buy on eBay! Doesn’t it seem, though, that we’re loving beer labels extra hard right now? Maybe it’s that size matters. Beer cans, especially those tall boys, offer lots of real estate for labelling. Large-format bottles provide a sizeable canvas as well. Maybe it’s as simple as habituation. Humans aren’t that different from crows; we’re attracted to bright, shiny obje
