a first for craft beer - it outsells the big boys in, of course, portland! the flickr account for the great vegas beerfest no pics of me, alas, but great shots of the event and a review of the festival (mine is coming... eventually...) jan zeschky's rundown of this year's hip hop themed vcbw (that's vancouver craft beer week for those not yet in the know) joe wiebe gives you the past 30 years in craft beer history in british columbia and you can listen to him on the radio too! another new brewery opens in the lower mainland! white rock beach beer company , as reviewed by mike's craft beer dimpled pint glasses are making a comeback  according to the bbc (i didn't notice they were missing in vancouver - plenty of places still use them... what does that say about vancouver - are we ahead of the curve or so far behind the world caught up to us again?) my fave quote from the story:  "There are so many beards in Dalston, and they do love a dimple...

i want to run a beer mile ! who wants to make it a competition (or an exhibition)?? maybe a relay? only caveat is that it has to be good beer i know we'll be chugging it, but that's still no excuse to drink inferior beer
