from brewdog in scotland:   Bourbon Baby - 5.9% Bourbon Baby is a baby scotch ale, which we’ve gone on to age in bourbon barrels. The scotch ale base is light bodied and low ABV, and brings toasted shortcake and blossom honey flavours; the barrel ageing adds a demonic, dark vanilla twist. Rich brown sugar, hints of smoke, spiced fruit, chocolate and raisins are just some of the multitude of flavours that have developed. Our aim was to showcase barrel ageing in a lower ABV beer and the malty scotch ale base was the perfect way to do this. The body remains light, yet there is a complexity quite unlike anything you would normally expect in a scotch ale. BUY HERE   from spinnakers in victoria: Chocoholic – Chocolate Milk Stout CHOC-O-HOLIC There is more to the relationship between chocolate and beer than tastes and indulgences, both being prehistoric from an ancient past. It is impossible to know which...

winners at the 2013 bc beer awards vancouver is awesome, on 33 acres ways to piss of your bartender - don't do these things!! there is a new strongest beer in the world (probably quite appropriately called "snake venom") and new and delicious beers at legacy liquor store in vancouver: 2013 Brewery Creek Collaboration Spruce Tip Stout - $8.15   Craft Beer Month is coming to a close, but not without unleashing its collaboration beer to the clamoring masses. Employing the minds of Main Street Brewing, 33 Acres, R&B, Red Truck and Brassneck, this beer is not to be trifled with. Utilizing spruce tips and roast malt, all while boasting a more than sessionable ABV of 3.9%, this limited run brew should certainly not be missed (especially considering the fact the label is also a removable patch).   Evan Doan | Beer Team | Legacy Liquor Store St. Ambroise Vintage Ale Millésimée - $7.55   Brewed once a year by Peter McAuslan and brewmaster Ellen Bounsall, this beer i...

international arms race

it would appear that the yanks beat out the scots on the first (british) leg of the international arms race zero ibu ipa-off between flying dog and brew dog (i say apparently because i have only seen the flying dog version thus far... and knowing these two breweries, there may be a contradictory story coming from brew dog any minute now!) Flying Dog Brewmaster Matt Brophy posted the above photo on Facebook moments after winning the International Arms Race. The classic Red, White, Blue, and Camo combination really brings out his golden complexion.

contentious

brewdog names the top 5 contentious craft beer issues (at least in scotland) as: can vs. bottle keg vs. cask high abv beers duty on beer multinational buy-outs i'd say at least four of the five are relevant for north america as well (the duty issue or setting a minimum price for alcohol isn't currently being addressed by parliament in canadia as far as i know... and i'm too lazy to find out for sure)
