for the entire province article about women in beer at vancouver craft beer week, click here Connolly, Dale and Fenn are three of the drivers behind the Women and Beer event on May 12, part of craft beer week. The nine-day festival boasts more than 60 events across Metro Vancouver that feature many of B.C.’s 30-plus microbreweries. The wider scope of this year’s craft beer week is a response to last year’s sellout events and the growing thirst for craft beer in all its styles — from pale wheat ale to inky-black imperial stout. The latest figures from the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch show overall packaged beer sales falling 8.6 per cent year-over-year — but a 40-per-cent spike for microbreweries’ packaged product. Not to be outdone, a team of women brewers, including Connolly, has created its own collaborative brew for VCBW, a cherrywood-smoked Belgian-style beer. Over a round of craft ale in the Alibi Room bar in Gastown, Connolly, Dale and Fenn agree that the female presence i...

thanks to justin who kept the province for me because it had this article in it: Just as the German footballers shone at last month’s World Cup, so did  Pacific Western ’s German brewmaster at the recent  Canada Cup of Beer  with his new hefeweizen. If there’s anything those conservative Germans get worked up about, it’s soccer and beer. But Peter Boettcher’s enthusiasm for his work is insanely infectious. At the Cup of Beer, held out at the University of B.C. last month, Boettcher was excitedly engaging beer-lovers with his knowledge of the brewniverse, doling out samples of Pacific’s organic Natureland brews left, right and centre, and demonstrating the perfect hefeweizen pour. “I like good beer,” Boettcher says when I catch him during a rare break at the festival. “I just think . . . Life is too short to drink cheap beer. If I have a bad beer in my glass, I'm not a happy person. “Beer is a wonderful world,” he adds. “Once you get to know beer and not just your regul...

(Six weeks!) The GIB Raspberry Wheat Ale is a combination of malt, water, hops, yeast and Fraser Valley raspberries that -- according to brew master Vern Lambourne -- is a "perfect compliment to a fruit-filled dessert, or perhaps a grilled chicken salad." It should be noted that sales of the Raspberry Wheat Ale will aid a great cause -- 50 cents from every bottle sold goes toward the Weekend to End Women's Cancers. Visit gib. ca for more.
