a beer beginner's guide to hops peaches and cream ale pie recipe (is it wrong that when i read misused words i picture the author doing what they actually said?  in this example i am picturing her hurdling her way through her days until summer.  it is probably a very good workout... maybe even burning off all those pie calories) vancouver bars that offer food as good as the craft beers i agree with her on portland craft and biercraft but craft beer market?  insipid food with no flavour was my review of my one visit there the beer didn't wow me either, so i never bothered to go back again several people i have talked to have had the same experience... so i'm still not tempted to go back not when there are so many other incredible places in town to get my craft beer and yummy food fix! uses for spent grain go east van brewers , go! all about yeast Nonna's Sweet Spring Finish Campagnolo Restaurant Lines Up Tuesday Night Homestyle Suppers Vancouver ...

a shout out to bc business magazine for their really informative "the business of craft beer" yesterday afternoon jamie floyd killed it in his key-note address joe wiebe was an affable moderator parallel 49, bomber and red truck offered plenty of food for thought in the how to start a brewery panel driftwood, central city and four winds represented in the marketing panel and all the breweries who showed up to pour (ninkasi, red truck, bridge, bomber, parallel 49, central city, driftwood, four winds and prohibition - i don't think i forgot anyone) brought some really swell beers with them i would have liked to mingle and network in a slightly larger space than the imperial but otherwise the event was perfectly executed i suggest all y'all check it out next year!

my notes from yesterday's beer column on cbc radio one's on the coast with gloria macarenko sitting in for stephen quinn There really is no right or wrong way to pair food and beer, it really comes down to personal taste. Different beers bring out different flavours in food, leading to different experiences. There are some guidelines, like following the three c’s – complement, contrast and cut – but the best way to find an excellent pairing is to experiment for yourself.   The theory behind “Complement” is pairing like with like: chocolate stout with chocolate dessert.  In contrast (ha ha), the “Contrast” is just like it sounds: pairing opposites, like sweet with savoury.  To “Cut” is to use the carbonation in beer to cut through the fat in food or to use the bitterness in beer to cut through the sweet in a dish.  These three “c’s” are a good starting point for beer and food pairing experiments. Usually when we talk about food and beer pairings we a...
