i'm off to whistler for the weekend looking forward to drinking a few brews by derrick franche while i'm there! and enjoy that crisp mountain air too, of course

the cask last night at the yaletown brewpub was saison word on the street is that it was amazing me, i filled my boot with ipa no really, i bought the gumboot salute boot and filled it twice with ipa even though it was cask night even though it was stout day that's just how i roll okay? (then i went out for fancy dinner and drank prosecco cuz i'm fancy like that!) tomorrow, i will be pouring at the yaletown for their mini caskival 11 casks its gonna be fun! come on down, starting at 11:00 try all 11 casks for $20 or just a few for $2 each if you already have a boot, bring it and get your first fill free if you don't already have a boot, get one for $10 filled and $4.50 re-fills yup, its a great deal so, i'll see you there, right!?! here's what their facebook page says: As part of our now famous "Gumboot Salute" long weekend, here at the Yaletown Brewing Company, we are throwing a little cask event this Saturday! Doors are opening ...

i had far too much fun at the bc beer awards yesterday so i'm taking full advantage of the horrible weather to make today a stay at home day! i only took two photos yesterday... must have been too busy drinking the lovely beers! dave varga is a funny guy!  derrick wins gold in the ipa category high mountain brewing chapel arts was a great venue for the camra harvestfest and bc beer awards the beers were tasty, the crowd was well-behaved despite the torrential downpours outside, it was all coming up sunshine and roses inside!
