Message fiulijn P beers 28318 º places 745 º 11:07 Thu 4/24/2014 Originally posted by WheatKing fiulijn: Favourite new BC brewery? You want me to get in bigger troubles than I’m already in, don’t you? ;-) I usually don’t have just one favourite. I liked most of the beers from Powell Street (and I have to re-try the Porter someday). I liked a couple of 33 Acres because they were clean and subtle. I like how Brassneck is trying many different ones, and some of them are very good (including an altbier). I really liked a couple of beers from Bridge Brewing, and they were a kölsch and a stout, not the classic hopbombs, so even more respect. I like the stuff from Four Winds, but I would like to get more of it, and try again; I’d like to visit the brewery and create a full picture , but they are not easy to get to. and in Victoria? we get a few draught ones, but not too many here Anyway, overall it’s impressive how everything is blooming now; there is a lot more to drink than in the very recent past

Message WheatKing beers 1351 º 13:00 Sun 4/27/2014 Yeah definitely putting Four Winds on my list of "brewers not to pass over".

Will be for the next time
Message fiulijn P beers 28318 º places 745 º 12:42 Mon 5/5/2014 Double Mountain and pFriem takeover at Portland Craft this Wednesday. Said so, I visited last Wednesday for the Ninkasi takeover. First of all it was not a complete takeover because only 8 out of 16 taps were Ninkasi. Second, all 8 beers have already been available in BC before. If I understood, the guys from Ninkasi came to Vancouver to bring the beers for VCBW (or they sent the beers, whatever), still there is no effort to supply different beers. We get a lot of beer (by volume) from OR and WA, but somebody (the importer? the brewery?) could definitively improve the rotation.
Message fiulijn P beers 28318 º places 745 º 14:19 Fri 5/23/2014 Some bitching mixed with availability, now... Le Trou du Diable Punkrauch available at Legacy (and this is no news). Le Trou du Diable beers are already expensive, but, can somebody explain why they have 2 bottles side to side, both Punkrauch, one is 60cl for 10$ (plus tax of course), and the other is 75cl for 20$ ??? Who is the fool? Or am I missing anything? I noticed that one has 6% and the other 6.5% abv on the label...
Message Oakes P admin beers 30657 º places 1135 º 14:38 Fri 5/23/2014 There’s a bourbon cask version...is that it?

Message Oakes P admin beers 30657 º places 1135 º 14:38 Fri 5/23/2014 Why anyone would throw a smoked marzen into a bourbon cask is a whole other question. They have this beer in Alberta, too: http://www.sherbrookeliquor.com/products/le-trou-du-diable-punk-rauch/
Message fiulijn P beers 28318 º places 745 º 14:53 Fri 5/23/2014 We only have one version on RB, and it’s barrel aged http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/le-trou-du-diable-punkrauch/231364/ are you suggesting that there are 2 versions?
