my notes from yesterday's beer column on cbc radio's on the coast: What's going on in beer world this week: - As we head into the latter half of February, it’s Annual General Meeting time here in Vancouver – both the VanBrewers Home Brew club and the Campaign for Real Ale Vancouver (CAMRA) are holding their AGMs this month. VanBrewers on February 20th at Direct Tap and CAMRA on February 27th at the Biltmore – so if you haven’t checked out these organizations yet, now would be a great time. And if you’re already a member, may I suggest you check your membership as it might be time to renew for the coming year! - Budweiser trended on social media when Peyton Manning said in an interview that he’d celebrate his Superbowl win by drinking a lot of beer, and in particular Budweiser beer. Peyton Manning’s love letter to Budweiser did not go unnoticed by craft brewers. The Brewers Association in America responded to Manning by letter, saying that they hoped he would tr

a little stroll down memory lane with pike brewing: Four decades ago, the food and craft beer landscape in America was as different from today's, as Bologna from baloney!    In 1976, my wife, Rose Ann Finkel and two friends made plans to open Truffles, a gourmet grocery in our Seattle neighborhood. To prepare for their entrepreneurship, the women flew south to "the city by the bay" for the 1st Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco. Like botanist's hunting rare orchids in the Amazon, they searched for the best of artisan food. Soon their store was packed with beers, wines, cheese, 80 mustards, vinegar, oil, honey, preserves, pickles, coffee, tea, cured meats, not yet called "charcuterie", high cocoa content chocolate and multiple other confections, and yes fresh tartufo. Most of the goodies were imported; very few were produced locally. Last month, 41 years and a myriad of visits later, we traveled to the Bay Area to accept a coveted Good Food Awa

from phillips brewing: Odyssey Nitro Porter - 5.0% - 473mL January 29th, 2015 - There's a delicious new tall can floating to liquor store shelves on dense, foamy clouds of bubbles.
