cannery ipa

-
lovely, its tasting time!
i love tasting time!

today, its cannery brewing's ipa
out of penticton bc

the bottle says:  "an intricate and continuous blending of hops, backed up by rich malt flavour, produce this fine ale with its complex character and lingering hop finish.  fierce hop, gentle bite.  small brewery, big flavour."


pours a nice clear caramel shade
very deep and creamy head on a vigourous pour
not so much hop aroma
but boy is it hoppy on the first sip
very nice balance
great lingering hop finish!
6% - i tried it in a 650ml bottle

i'm a fan!
i need hoppy goodness
and appreciate the malty balance
this beer delivers!
loving it more and more the further down my glass i get
and that's not just the 6% talking
(pairs quite nicely with the tuna steak i'm scarfing down along with it)

the website says:  "IPA’s are always about the hops, and this fine traditional ale is no exception.  It is brewed with an interesting and continuous blending of four Pacific Northwest hop varieties.  These exciting hops are backed up by rich malt flavours that produce a complex character and lingering hop finish.  Although this beer has fierce hop, it will surprise with its gentle bite."

p.s.  another ipa i have to try:

WILDFIRE IPA
This unique black India Pale Ale is a tribute to the firefighters and emergency service workers who help fight our Canadian wildfires each Year.

Wildfire IPA is intensely dark and smooth. This black IPA has complex hops that rage through to the finish.

brewing up gender parity

My article on gender parity is on the Growler website! BREWING UP GENDER PARITY: THE QUEST FOR BEERQUALITY REBECCA WHYMAN •  JUNE 13, 2019 Women are markedly underrepresented in craft beer. This is not news to anyone. But have you ruminated on just how large the gender gap is?  A 2018 survey by Nielsen-Harris  found American craft beer drinkers are 68.5 per cent male and 31.5 per cent female. Closer to home,  BeerMeBC’s 2018 survey  had those numbers at 71 and 29 per cent, with 0.32 per cent identifying as “other.” For those not so strong in the math department, that means that there are only three women drinking craft beer for every seven men. If you were a straight man looking for a date, you wouldn’t like those odds at all. And I can tell you, as one of those three women, it’s not much fun being outnumbered everywhere I go to enjoy my beloved craft beer, delightful as those seven men may be. Drinking craft beer is the easy part—when we move into the sections of craft

LABEL OF LOVE: THE CREATIVE WORLD OF MODERN BEER CAN ART REBECCA WHYMAN •  OCTOBER 15, 2018 Clockwise from top left: Electric Bicycle Brewing Co.; Mikkeller’s Hallo Ich Bin Berliner Weisee; the beer label artwork of Vancouver artist Patrick Wong; Superflux’s Superfluousness. Contributed/file photos You can’t help it, I can’t help it—we all judge beers by their labels, maybe as much as we judge the beer itself. Beer labels have been around for ages: 83 years on cans, and much longer than that on bottles. It appears we’ve been loving beer labels for that whole time—just check out all the vintage labels you can buy on eBay! Doesn’t it seem, though, that we’re loving beer labels extra hard right now? Maybe it’s that size matters. Beer cans, especially those tall boys, offer lots of real estate for labelling. Large-format bottles provide a sizeable canvas as well. Maybe it’s as simple as habituation. Humans aren’t that different from crows; we’re attracted to bright, shiny obje
