well, for a not-so-beery week, i still managed to knock a few back!
wednesday night i hit pivo before and between queer film festival movies
had me the phillips hop circle

thursday night before the centrepiece queer film festival movie
i managed to swing by yaletown brewpub for some of iain hill’s ipa dry-hopped with sorachi ace
i am not sure there are words to describe it
besides hop heaven!!
delicious! delightful! divine!
the hop nose carried through to the body
i would have happily taken a growler to go if i had any time to get through one this weekend!

if i could be more than one place tonight i would be at both pivo for their second anniversary
and at beerlesque at the roundhouse
but i can’t be at both, so i’ll be doing my duty to my fellow craft beer lovers by pouring libations at beerlesque!

VQFF

there is just no time for beer this week
well, not no time, just very little time

why this week?

well its the vancouver queer film festival august 11 to 21
and i’m spending nine of those 11 days involved with the festival
mostly watching films
but also three nights of volunteering
what a saint i am!

the two days in my calendar not taken up with the festival are today and next saturday
today i get to go join the vanbrewers and sample their wonderful brews
before i hit the bc lions game
next week i get to go see two wonderful friends get married
and they promise me there will be kegs of craft beer at the reception!
(of course i would have gone even without that promise)

what does this mean in general?
not much to anyone but me and my nearest and dearest really
but its my excuse to any of y’all who are reading this for the very light content on the blog over this period!

and speaking of volunteering, i’ll be pouring at beerlesque next friday night
(at the roundhouse, put on by camra vancouver and vcbw)
right after seeing a queer film
fun, fun, fun!!

storm brewing

not only is storm brewing so local its mere steps from my home,
they are also supporters of the queer community!

at last night’s opening gala reception for out on screen (vancouver’s queer film festival), storm was there with a keg of pilsner
such a welcome alternative for beer lovers to the usual wine offerings at a reception
and it was delicious (of course!)

“PRECIPITATION PILSNER

A true North German Style Pilsner. Light in body and packed full of Czech Saaz hops. The distinctive Pilsner aroma and dry, refreshing taste make a great accompaniment to a hot Vancouver day.”
