deep cove brewing is almost open!


Vancouver’s craft beer revolution expands to the North Shore 

VANCOUVER, May 8, 2013 - From the wilderness of North Vancouver have emerged two young engineers who share a passion for fermented beverages and a dream to start up their own brewery and distillery. Former Steamworks Brewer Shae De Jaray and civil engineer Shawn Bethune are steps away from making that dream a reality with Deep Cove Distilling and Brewing set to open the doors of its North Shore location in early June. Deep Cove will feature an intimate 10-person tasting lounge in its brand new warehouse-style facility along with a 8,000 hectolitre brewery and distillery. 

Owners Shae and Shawn are joined by former Coal Harbour Brewmaster Kevin Emms who will bring his extensive brewing and distilling experience to this brand new operation. Kevin and Shae struck up a friendship while studying Brewing and Distilling at Herriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. The passionate young Deep Cove team (they are all under 30) is completed with former Central City Brewing sales guru Trish Garratt, heading up their marketing and sales.

Shae and Shawn have been working round the clock to get Deep Cove ship shape for the summer, putting their engineering skills to use to install custom sloping floors and the new fermenters, and building a bottling line completely from scratch.

THE BEERS
For Deep Cove, the emphasis is on the highest quality of tradition and craftsmanship - the beer speaks for itself - but the passion behind it is clear: Celebrate. Everyday. 
Imbued with the hard-working and fun-loving spirit of its owners, the brewery’s three main beers each will have their own unique personality - like your closest friends they can always be relied on for good times, sharing stories and laughter. Meet the Loud Mouth Pale Ale, Wise Crack West Coast Lager and the Quick Wit Belgian-style Wheat Ale.

THE SPIRITS
This newest addition to Vancouver’s craft beer awakening will not only be crafting its own micro brews, but also distilling small batches of its own artisan spirits, including brandy, vodka and gin with a twist. Distilling was always part of the plan for Deep Cove, but recent changes to BC liquor legislation have made it easier for distilleries sourcing local ingredients to sell spirits in their tasting room sans prohibitive mark-ups. 

Deep Cove is among the first of a raft of distilling and brewing operations opening up in Vancouver this year - Central City Brewing, Coal Harbour Brewing and Yaletown Brewing will all be adding distilling to their setup.

You’ll be able to sample Deep Cove’s new beers during Vancouver Craft Beer Week and from June at their tasting room (date TBC).

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

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.
