The Fall 2018 issue of The Growler is here!

The Fall 2018 issue of The Growler has arrived and it’s packed full of the latest news from the B.C. craft beer scene, hilarious articles and more than 160 brewery listings and 350-plus beers.

This is a special time of year for craft beer. As the days get shorter and the nights cooler, we say goodbye to the refreshing and light-bodied beers of summer and welcome the more flavourful and full-bodied beers of fall and winter. The hot summer sun may be leaving us for another year, but at least we have delicious pint after pint to keep us company until it returns.

It’s also harvest time, and that means the return of fresh-hopped beers, as Joe Wiebe details in his story, “How Fresh Can You Get?” This ephemeral style is a delight that only happens once a year, so if you blink, you’ll miss out.

If you’ve noticed more and more beers advertising themselves as organic, you’re not alone, so writer Brittany Tiplady took a look at the truth behind the ingredients. Speaking of advertising, beer labels are an art form in and of themselves, so Rebecca Whyman explored what makes them work and what makes them suck—with a handy (sort of) guide to all the jargon and nonsense that you can find on them.

For those looking for a beer with a bit less bite, we did a taste test of non-alcoholic beers and explored the growing trend of craft breweries getting into the soda business. If that doesn’t satisfy your sweet tooth, we also have a wonderful dessert recipe featuring—you guessed it—beer!

Enjoy the sun while it lasts. Much like that delicious pint in your hand, it’ll be gone before you know it.
