freshly stocked beers at legacy liquor store in vancouver:

Central City Brewers Thor’s Hammer - $15.75

In Old Norse Mythology Thor and his hammer Mjölnir represented thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees and anything else manly you can think of. Central City has managed to capture this idea, brew it and bottle it. Cloudy and copper in colour with a nose of caramelized malt, cereal and a touch of alcohol. Caramelized malt is the star on the palate alongside a big full body and of course more warming alcohol. A legendary brew good enough for any Norse god, Skâl!

New Belgium Brewing Co. Rampant Imperial IPA - $8.15

We love the hop and our craving for it drives us to search for some serious brews, thankfully New Belgium has answered our call with their Rampant Imperial IPA. A beautiful light straw colour when its in the glass, this brew pumps out aromas of resinous pine, citrus, spice and a little floral bouquet of hop. On the palate more pine pops highlighted with citrus fruit and subtle tones of stone fruits like peach. A well-balanced brew that hits all the marks.

Chuckanut Brewery German-Style Pilsner - $7.55

Sometimes a classic beer style hits the spot and with, fingers crossed, warmer weather around the corner this pilsner won’t stray far from the pack. Clear and golden in hue with plenty of grassy hop and grain to keep things balanced aromatically. Clean and crisp on the palate with equal parts grains and hop that once again balance each other out. Brewed to perfection this beer would quench the thirst of any pilsner lover.

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
