randy shore's vancouver taproom revolution

from camra bc:
It's not every day that something like this comes up so listen up folks! Nigel from Alibi Room has this to share:
5pm, downstairs MONDAY. We'll be tapping the Sierra Nevada x Celebrator Beer News 25th Anniversary Ale. (It's a 9.5% Hopped up Double)
We'll be putting it on for $5.00/Sleeve as a little treat for CAMRA members. John Rowling will be hanging out downstairs if anybody wants to chat. (He's a great supporter of the local craft beer scene, has been through many years of the craft beer evolution & he had a hand in making the beer! He's also just a straight up excellent man!!)
See you there!

this collaboration beer sounds amazing:
Logan of Beavertown Brewery (London) and JF of Dieu Du Ciel (Montreal) at the Dogfish Head Rehoboth pub. This is our first international three-way. It's both erotic and exotic. A 7% abv Pale India Ale spiced with Tamarind, Cumin, fresh crushed black pepper and Jaggery (traditional Indian Pale Sugar). We are looking for a name suggestion before noon (EST) today. Something that suggests our four current/former UK related countries that inspired this brew: US, UK, Canada, and India. Inspire us...

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 int...

zywiec polish beer

and now for something completely different a polish beer! zywiec - and i have no idea how to pronounce that! its poland's #1 premium beer (according to the bottle) it has a thermometer label when you can see the name in colour, its the right temperature to drink sounds a bit too much like those darned mountains that turn blue when the piss-poor mass market beer is cold enough to not give you any indication of its stinky nose but i digress... pours wonderfully clear light caramel colour nice head on the vigourous pour 5.5% this is a lager i can get into! crisp and mildly hopped its everything a pilsner should be and its delicious a great session beer on the bottle:  "since 1856 this premium beer has been brewed according to the original zywiec brewer's recipe from the best natural ingredients.  contains finest malted barley, choicest hops and pure mountain water." no clue what the website says as its in polish but wikipedia has this little histor...

Dead Frog's Pepper Lime Lager

-
Image
i did it - i tried the new Pepper Lime lager from Dead Frog and i didn't like it.  which saddens me.  but there's nought i can do about it, i don't like it.  i even tried it twice, just to make sure. it pours a pale golden colour and has a great head... i just can't stand the chemically taste of the lime.  it reminds me too much of bud lime and the miller chill. i tried, i really tried.  i wanted to like it,  i really did. but i cannot tell a beer lie, i am not a fan of this lager.  but don't let my picky pants stop you from trying it.  like mikey, you might like it.
