Hey Craft Beer lovers ... BC's next up and coming community craft brewery needs your help!! Field House Brewing Co. is set to open in Abbotsford, BC - looking to join the ranks of the other amazing breweries in our local beer community.  BC has some of the best craft beer in the world and we're hoping to bring some twists and turns to the table to help keep things fresh and exciting.  We've launched a Kickstarter Campaign ( Check it out HERE ) to help open our doors, we are 6-7 weeks from opening and budgets are getting really tight, so we could use your help for a couple key things:  1) Finish our Awesome Tap Room  - We need some extra funds to create a rad little tasting room where we are proud to host you. It will be a place you want to stay for a while - featuring a nice warm fireplace, 10 beers on tap, a growler station and lots of seats to meet up with friends and drink some Field House liquid gold. 2) Make the Best Damn (Licensed) Picnic Area in BC ...

bc craft beer quiz from beermebc that beer lid kickstarter i was talking about is now live

another beer-related kickstarter campaign is on its way i'll have the link once it's live but in the meantime, here's the low-down (and, of course, i would never suggest anyone break any laws): Lolo lids is the new way to hide your drink while keeping it cool from the sun.  Simply snap your beer or can of choice into the bottom of the lid and pop it into your coffee cup.  Lolo lids fits almost all to go cups including Starbucks, 7-eleven or Van Huet to name a few.  The can inside is suspended from the lid so it forms an air barrier that keeps your drink colder longer than a traditional beer cozy.  Lolo also features an ergonomically designed lid thats nicer to drink out than a can and the extra breather hole keeps it flowing smooth. The perfect thing about a Lolo lid is when you’re done with it, simply recycle your can and cup, and throw the lid in your pocket for next time. I love when I’m travelling and I can drink on the streets, parks, and on the...

yikes, i've been back from vegas for over a week now and i haven't had a minute to sit down to write about the beer festival and all the other amazing beer places i found downtown (or write the couple of reviews i owe people...) and now i'm off to portland for the weekend (poor, poor me!) there will be beer drinking of course, and a trip to belmont station to find some fabulous beers to bring home with me, but beer is not actually the focus of my trip this time saturday is the launch party for cider riot - a kickstarter funded cidery and since we'll be in town anyway, sunday i'll be at the timbers game, sitting with the army! i am very much looking forward to taking to the streets, and pogoing the night away, not to mention getting my first taste of cider riot's ciders

got some extra funds kicking around? why not pledge it to a fledgling brewery via kickstarter? let me save you the trouble of finding one!  i got this email a couple of days ago: I'm Matej from Slovenia, a homebrewer, beer lover and beer writer for Vino (wine) magazine. As winemaking is common in Slovenia, craft breweries seem not to follow this trend despite having one of the best hops in the world. You might heard about Styrian Golding, rumor has it monks at infamous Westvleteren use it in their beers. I decided to start a craft brewery to spread the word about craft beer under family name Pelicon. My team of young talents from different professions and I launched a project on Kickstarter to crowdfund part of startup cost. Accidentally we became the first brewery in Europe who did this. Would you be kind enough to take a look and share the project with your fans or mention it on blog? That would help us a lot. As you know, beer is better with friends. So to kick start t...

so, apparently kickstarter is for reals! and breweries are using it to raise funds thanks craftbeer.com for doing my research for me!
