The Growler is back with all the beer news and features you need to get you through the fall and winter!
In this issue, we celebrate the best of B.C. beer and cider with the results of the 6th annual Growler Craft Beer and Cider Awards!
Noëlle Phillips explores the origins of the Italian Pilsner in Italy and then brings the style home with a list of local recommendations. Ted Child looks in the growing trend of smoked beers. In this issue’s Style Snapshot, we look at porters, with their roasty and robust flavours.
Joe Wiebe takes a trip through history with a celebration of forty years of craft beer in B.C., while Rob Mangelsdorf writes that while the honeymoon may be over for B.C. craft beer, this may actually be a good thing for beer drinkers in the province.
Matt Poirier launches a series about flavours in beer, both good and bad. This month: the influence of malt.
Finally, as always, we have a comprehensive listing of all the breweries (and breweries to come) in beautiful, beer-drinking British Columbia. Subscribe here and never miss an issue or see where you can pick up your copy below:
