Winter Warmth from Lions Winter Ale by GIB on November 13th, 2015 All this talk of winter has got us thinking about our favourite parts of the season. We love those crisp fall mornings, and the cozy dark nights, the raking of leaves and the first dump of snow, we love waxing up our skis and getting out on them any chance we get.  Apres activity makes the snacks and the beer taste even more amazing!  This chilly season we’re most looking forward to the get-togethers with friends.

Apparently I am over my seasonal denial and  willing to admit that it’s not summer any more.  So I guess it's time to talk about winter seasonal beers. As you may recall,  I’m not at all a fan of the heavy-handed use of vanilla in winter ales.  I find that cloying and annoying. Vanilla isn’t a traditional winter ale flavouring.  Spicing beers is fairly traditional – before the wide usage of hops to bitter beer it used to be herbs and spices and tree bark that were used.  It was a natural progression from there to add some spices to a nice winter ale, but these spices tended to be nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice . Vanilla is a recent trend, and seems to have really caught on here in the Lower Mainland.  For those who, like me, aren’t big fans of the vanilla trend, there are more traditional winter ales, and other experimental ales around, in a variety of styles and flavours. One such beer is the Postmark Red Winter Ale.  The new bre...

it's almost november now and i can't grow a moustache (okay, well, i don't want to talk about whether or not i can) so, let's talk about beer advent calendars instead! Last year was a really good year with three advent calendars available in BC.   This year there will only be two here, the Phillips Snowbox and the Central City/Parallel 49 Craft Crossing. The original Craft Beer advent calendar won’t be available in BC this year .  Even though it contains beers from British Columbia’s Bridge, Townsite and Lighthouse Breweries, the Craft BeerAdvent Calendar is not being sold in BC due to beer regulations.  Gah!  Stupid red tape keeping the good people of BC from a third advent calendar. “The 2015 Craft BeerAdvent® Calendar features some cans and some bottles that are on the re-fill program and due to regulations which prohibit the mixing of such containers within the same package in BC, we will not be able to offer the Craft BeerAdvent® Calendar in...

        Mt. Begbie Brewing Company Limited Release     Mt. Begbie Brewery is located in beautiful Revelstoke, a small town with a rich history, in the heart of British Columbia's spectacular Columbia mountain range. The company is named after Mt. Begbie, a majestic glacial mountain that dominates the Revelstoke skyline. In turn, the mountain is named after Matthew "Hanging Judge" Begbie, a colourful character from Revelstoke's early history, who probably would have benefitted from a sip of Mt. Begbie's soothing ales before rendering his judgements.  Read more about the brewery.     COLD SMOKE - SMOKED PORTER                              Hop ...
