RESIGNATION BREWERY HEADS NORTH:
KCCO BEER COMING TO BRITISH COLUMBIA AND RAISING MONEY FOR CHARITY AS WELL

Vancouver, BC  – Resignation Brewery is teaming up with Beerthirst to distribute it’s highly sought after beers in British Columbia. In November, KCCO Gold Lager will be hitting liquor store shelves, with some locations giving away KCCO Beer Pong tables, whilst others will be raising money for The BC Professional Firefighters Burn Fund. 

After just one year of operation, Resignation Brewery broke into the top 100 biggest breweries in the US. Less than two years later, their brews were available US wide and now after some two and half years are welcomed to Canada.  Created by the founders of the digital lifestyle brand, theCHIVE, they aim to unite friends over a great tasting and accessible beer.

“Finally the wait it is over!” says Andrew Platt, Beerthirst’s Marketing Manager. “We’ve had a lot of interest in these beers and we’re really excited to finally give the people of British Columbia the chance to drink KCCO Beer!”

Beerthirst are also proud to announce that there will be four launch parties happening across four cities – Kelowna (O’flannigan’s), Vancouver (The Roxy), Victoria (Yates Street Taphouse) & Whistler (Garfinkel’s) - on November 28th, all helping to raise even more money for The BC Burn Fund. 

$1 from every 6 pack sold in select liquor stores will be donated to The BC Professional Firefighters Burn Fund. Furthermore, 100% of proceeds from launch party ticket sales will be donated. The BC Burn Fund Centre will be a home away from home, free of charge, for British Columbian's needing to travel to Vancouver for medical treatment due to burn and major trauma injuries.

“They’re very close to reaching their funding goal and we would love to help them reach it. It’s a great cause and something that all British Columbian’s should get behind” says Platt. Tickets go on sale at 12pm (PST) on Friday 6th November available at www.beerthirst.com/kcco-tickets.

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.
