randy shore

randy shore has two articles in the vancouver sun about local beers the fall beer line-up, with tasting notes bc craft brewers investing in a heady future

province

the vancouver sun and province are all over craft beer these days so many articles, so little time... currently, they want you to know the brewers behind the beers you'll be drinking this labour day long weekend

vancouver sun

it is a sunny day in vancouver but the vancouver sun i'm referring to is the newspaper, which currently has two articles about craft beer online: the insatiable taste for craft brews article quotes lundy dale and iain hill and the longer version of the article names names of lots of local drinking holes and breweries like crannog, tap and barrel, r&b, parallel 49, the alibi room, central city, all the soon-to-be-opened new vancouver establishments and goes into nano-breweries like bridge brewing

women and beer

blah blah blah women and beer blah blah blah yes, women are an untapped beer market but if you keep pandering to what you think they want rather than asking, you're likely to keep that market untapped sheesh! enough with the stupid articles about women and beer cocktails , women and low-calorie beers, women and fruity pink beers dammit, as many men drink those things as women and very soon just as many women as men will be drinking all the beautiful craft beers out there because they are tasty and good quality... and rarely advertise misogynistically plus, hops are wonderful creatures, especially for women i think more and more women are going to drink beer, realize it makes them feel good and go back for more! in the meantime can we all just drink beer (quality beer!) without making it about the binary gender stereotypes? please?

craft beer

some fabulous quotes in randy shore's vancouver sun article about the local craft beer scene yesterday for the full article, clicky clicky my favourite soundbites: "This is a world in which a single cask of beer is a happening, never to be repeated — like Woodstock, but smaller and drunker." "A typical keg of beer finishes fermenting in the brewery and is essentially inert when it gets shipped to the pub. Cask beer is a living thing, each as unique as a snowflake.  If that all sounds a bit poetic to describe a working-class beverage, welcome to the world of craft beer. Wine drinkers and scotch aficionados step aside; craft beer drinkers are the alternative music nerds of the drinking world." and for randy's article about gary lohin, click away !
