Not So New Westminster and an SOB

Not So New Westminster and an SOB

New Westminster is 18kms from downtown Vancouver, or 1 hour and 15 minutes by cab at 4PM. And I thought Toronto traffic was bad (it is). What’s so special about New Westminster? It was the one-time capital of British Columbia, and the oldest Western Canadian city, so...

Island Hopping and Not Fawning Over Floral

Island Hopping and Not Fawning Over Floral

From the Rock to Granville, an East to West coast 7300-kilometer island hop. I’m talking about ultra fun Newfoundland to ultra-hip Granville Island in Vancouver. Shops, markets, theatres and improvs, and even a fancy pants high end restaurant (The Keg). And of course,...

Raising the Roof

Raising the Roof

From the rocky shores of the East coast to the verdant green of the West, I find myself on the cosmo coast of Vancouver. Talk about green, some of these buildings even have grass on the roof, good thing it’s legal to sell it now. A sun shiny stroll down the promenade...

European? Maybe. Napanean. Definitely.

European? Maybe. Napanean. Definitely.

Road weary, feeling low down on the highway, I made a pit stop at an off-highway Timmies. I’m a plain old fashion regular guy, as in a medium regular coffee with an old fashion plain donut. A unique feature on my GPS, it searches for nearby breweries. A walking...

This  Flying Monkeys brew is one powerful beer, being a triple IPA and all.  It has a slight taste of alcohol which drops the rating but man this can label is awesome!!!   Buy it for the artwork as it is an excellent conversation piece!

The COM did a pit stop at Daft and before we filed our flight plan RA sampled Cool Cool Cool. I asked him what he thought and he said “tastes like beer” which coming from RA is a great compliment. So I was eager to sample this flamingo adorned dry hopped Pils. Did you...

A Klassic Kiwi Kraft

I’ve racked up a few frequent flyer miles in my day, been to some faraway lands, some exotic destinations. No jet setting but lots of jet lagging. But you get to a certain point in your life where you know there are some places you just aren’t ever going to get to....

Lamplight? Whose Bright Idea Was This?

Lamplight? Whose Bright Idea Was This?

The creepy, dare I say disturbing, denizen of the deep that graces the can is the angler fish, and to be brutally honest, that’s one ugly fish. When you’re that ugly I don’t care how great a personality you have, the only way to be attractive is with a fancy car and a...

A Pre-Flight Flight?

A Pre-Flight Flight?

Flight delayed, time on my hands, looks like a good excuse to sample another Newfoundland brewski. I’m bidding a fond farewell to the Rock and hoisting a hope to see you again soon toast with a preflight pint. Enter the Fighting Irish. Am I advancing my education at...

Pepperwood, the Land of Our Four Fathers

Pepperwood, the Land of Our Four Fathers

Lunching in the quaint harborside town of Burlington, and once again I find myself at Pepperwood for a high level meeting of the minds.* I don’t usually mix beer and business but when you are meeting with the creator and head honcho of Mining4Beer, it seemed to make...
