yaletown brewpub's cask festival was good times so many good beers so many fun people to drink with   my favourite beer of the afternoon? pretty hard to choose as there were so many good ones but since you're making me choose, i'll go with the central city collaboration cask with gigantic, parallel 49 and ninkasi imperial ipa - some matured in cognac barrels, some matured in bourbon barrels, then blended and dry-hopped so very, very, very, very delicious (see how i did that four verys there?)

my liver is happy that vcbw is over for another year the rest of me is a little relieved too - so many good times and good beers, but a person's gotta sleep! i may have only made it to a few events but those events were of the all you can drink persuasion and i do take the list as a personal challenge to complete i have already given my low-down on the business of craft beer so i will begin my vcbw list with the opening night last friday i was volunteering, so there wasn't much drinking at all for me holding this event at a nightclub (gossip) was great from a couple of standpoints:  the performance space was in the same room so there was no need for anyone to have to choose between beer and the show; all the breweries were pouring their beers from an actual bar with access to water so there was no running out of rinse water; and the club provided plenty of different areas, including several with seating, to get away from the fray somehow though, it still manage...

the business of craft beer

a shout out to bc business magazine for their really informative "the business of craft beer" yesterday afternoon jamie floyd killed it in his key-note address joe wiebe was an affable moderator parallel 49, bomber and red truck offered plenty of food for thought in the how to start a brewery panel driftwood, central city and four winds represented in the marketing panel and all the breweries who showed up to pour (ninkasi, red truck, bridge, bomber, parallel 49, central city, driftwood, four winds and prohibition - i don't think i forgot anyone) brought some really swell beers with them i would have liked to mingle and network in a slightly larger space than the imperial but otherwise the event was perfectly executed i suggest all y'all check it out next year!
