Drink This! Aprikose by Strange Fellows Brewing

Rob Mangelsdorf • January 7, 2019

Happy holidays everyone! I hope you were sufficiently spoiled, and if not, you sufficiently spoiled yourself. I’m pretty easy to shop for come Christmastime, and my darling significant other knew that something beer-related was probably a safe bet. And so […]

Drink This! Raspberry Saison by Strathcona Beer Co.

Rob Mangelsdorf • December 19, 2018

I’ll admit it: I’m a sucker for a pretty bottle or can. If a beer’s labeling catches my eye in the liquor store, I’m probably going to buy it. I don’t think I’m alone in that respect. And so it […]

Drink this! Creepy Uncle Dunkel by Moon Under Water Brewery

Rob Mangelsdorf • December 11, 2018

I’m a firm believer that dark beers can be enjoyed year-round. There’s no reason why you can’t have a porter or a doppelbock in the middle of summer. In fact, stouts happen to be one of the most popular beer […]

Drink This! Poire Blanche by Strange Fellows Brewing and Townsite Brewing

Rob Mangelsdorf • December 7, 2018

Who says winter beers need to be heavy, dark, sweet and insanely strong? Why can’t a winter seasonal beer be delicate, fruity and spicy? Some of us have to work in the morning! Think about the flavours we often associate […]

Drink This! Random Thoughts by Twin Sails Brewing Co.

Rob Mangelsdorf • November 28, 2018

Wine bottles are fancy, huh? So when a brewery puts its beer in a wine bottle, it must mean that it’s extra fancy, I guess. Actually, more often than not, this has proven to be true, in my experience. Sometimes […]

Drink this! Double Infinity (Eureka!) by Superflux Brewing

Rob Mangelsdorf • November 20, 2018

There seems to be all sorts of drama these days in the craft beer world about contract brewing—that is, the practice of brewing beer at a brewery that isn’t yours. Recently, Doan’s and Postmark were acquired by Craft Collective Beerworks, […]

Drink this! Lavender ESB by Field House Brewing

Rob Mangelsdorf • November 14, 2018

Here’s the thing: English beers, they get no respect. Are they warm and undercarbonated? Yes—or are North American beers too cold and fizzy? Are they weaker than a cup of tea at Nana’s house? Again, yes—or are they extremely sessionable? […]

Rob Mangelsdorf • October 29, 2018
Wheelhouse Brewing

Prince Rupert’s Wheelhouse Brewing Co. is one of the pioneers of the Northern B.C. craft beer scene, and they’ll be celebrating their fifth anniversary in December, which is a pretty big deal. Wheelhouse’s beers are also making an appearance at […]

Drink This! Little Red One by Strange Fellows Brewing

Rob Mangelsdorf • October 24, 2018

Since the B.C. Beer Awards were last Saturday, this week I thought I’d highlight one of the gold medal-winning beers. (Check out the full list of winners here.) Little Red One is a lambic-style sour ale with black currants from […]
