Firefly is a beer fan's wet dream. Shelves and shelves, rows and rows of amazing beer and the prices are really good considering they are a private store and are bringing in some special beers.
In addition to a number of beers on the main floor,…More »

Man, this has got to be one of the nicest liquor stores I've ever been to and... hung out in. Located down in the Olympic Village, I often forget where they are, but once I'm inside I never want to leave.
They have a huge selection of beer and wine,…More »

So I've said before that I love St. Augustines, but I think it's fair to reiterate my love for this place and their beer.
I popped by for a tasting of the Storm and Russel Brewing "Big Smoke" and it was lovely.
The atmosphere in St Augustines is so…More »
Amazing. Want to know why this place is amazing, because it has amazing local beer.
When I go out…

All I have to say is how the hell had I not been here earlier.
I'd heard there was a new place on Union that had opened up, but the description I was given was "it's just a usual bar". Uh, yeah, no. Get yo head checked son, this ain't no normal bar.…More »

I thoroughly enjoy The Whip. Good food, good beer... there isn't really much else I ask for.
Friends of mine were visiting and we decided to pop in on our way to Car Free Days and wow am I ever glad I did.
I had the visiting cask, the R&B Raspberry…More »

While I love restaurants filled with chotches and boobs as much as the next girl... oh wait, nope. I have no interest in going to another "fusion" inspired, over priced joint that is just another earls/milestones/cactusclub/do nnelygroup blabla bla.…More »

We poked our head in to the Burnside Brewing Co between Le Pigeon and a show at the Doug Fir Lounge. What a FANTASTIC idea.
You enter and the ceilings are super high, I was worried it would give it a cold and unfriendly atmosphere but they've done a…More »
I absolutely adore Spinnakers and always make a point of bringing anyone who visits to have a pint.
We shared a jug of the Spinnakers Ail and the pulled pork nachos after an afternoon of wandering in Victoria. The Spinnakers Ail is a really light,…More »

As a bit of a disclaimer, I made it only to the Upright tasting room, so this applies only to that.
Nestled on North Broadway, just over the Broadway Bridge it's really easy to miss the entrance. I'm told that the pub and cafe that is open during…More »

I had the fish tacos for dinner, they were pretty good, decent amount of food for the price and very fresh.
I also had beer.
The Belgium Flight was lovely Delirium, DeKoninck, Aigem, Fruli 4 oz for $10 was a great way to start the evening. I then…More »
There is nothing glorious about Tug Boat Brewing. Nothing at all.
The food they have is only defined as food because it is something that you put in your mouth eventually you will fill up, Don't go for food.
Seriously.
What they do have is a fabulous…More »

I absolutely adore Pike Brewing. I could go on and on about their beer, it's taste, how much better it is draft than bottled, etc etc. I really do adore it.
I think the Kilt Lifter and the Double IPA are my favourites, but I'm not sure if that's…More »

Like everyone else there I ADORE Rogue Ales. Get me a Double IPA or a Dead Guy Ale any day. What I could use a lot less of in my life (considering I only went to eat once, that says a lot) is the food.
I cannot for the life of me (or any of my…More »
I had to add that the Fernwood in is a great place to get a beer and burger on Tuesday. For $9.95 you get the Fernwood Ale and either a vegge burger or a bacon cheddar burger.
The burger comes on a fresh chiabatta bun and all the fixings, lettuce,…More »
The Fernwood Inn is one of my default "let's grab a beer not downtown" pubs. Since they were renoed… Read more »
I am not a huge fan of Canoe's food. Years ago they had an amazing mezze platter that was awesome, but it slowly got more expensive and then disappeared off the menu. So what I typically do is drink beer at Canoe, as they brew a decent beer.
