beernesday

i'm off to mexico tomorrow for some fun in the sun with the famdamily see y'all in a week or so (!club de la cerveza, nos vemos manana in la noche!)

that's it! i'm outta here! i have to go back east for a week for some family stuff, so there won't be anything new on here until i am back in a week or so but before i go.... the fundraiser for driftwood brewer tim fukushima at the biltmore on sunday afternoon was a huge success raffle prizes galore, awesome cheap pints and the kind of spirit the craft beer community should be insanely proud of (and if you happened to miss my show last week on cbc radio, you can still check it out by going to on the coast and picking the april 16 edition - i'm the last 7 minutes of the show)

vacation! odds are good this is a prescription i'll need after spending a week with family...

dudes! i'm off to mexico to drink cerveza for a coupla weeks catch you in february! p.s. no one else from my house is leaving, so like don't even think about chiding me for announcing publicly that i won't be home!!

i leave for mexico in nine days' time this is very exciting for me i have not been finding much time to keep this blog current hopefully after three weeks in the sun i will be recharged and return with new vigour to blog, blog, blog! my goal for this year's trip is to find all the beers below and try them! not just take a photo of them like i did last year!

back from my san francisco mini vacation not too sure what the overarching theme was though i went down for pride but at least half of my photos are beer related... and i just gotta say the weather was very welcoming there not like the suckage i have returned to in vancouver...

that's it, smell ya later i'm outta here on vacation MEXICO!! i'll be back in canadia on february 9th, just in time for beernesday until then you'll have to suffer through without me and my bons mots! xo

okay, so its almost january and in january i do a cleanse every year the cleanse means that i don't drink beer for a whole month this year, i'll just be cleansing for three weeks, because i leave for mexico on the 21st and i'm certainly not going to miss out on any fun vacation time cleansing! so its just three weeks without beer this time but still, its three weeks which leads me to wonder what the heck i'll blog about for those three weeks and the two following when i'll be in mexico friends, i think there's gonna be a hiatus on the blog minimal posting for three weeks and then a 2.5 week vacation from posts altogether i would love to say that i'll miss you but i'd be exaggerating i'll be miserable for three weeks without my beer but then when i'm on vacation, i won't even be thinking about all y'all! i'm selfish that way!
