The Spring/Summer 2021 edition of The Growler is out now and here’s where you can find it!

 

Happy 2021! Like me, I’m sure that you are very happy to say good riddance to 2020 (and perhaps raise a middle finger). Now that the worst year most of us have lived through is finally over, I’m starting to look forward to a future beyond COVID-19. Check out my article about post-pandemic bucket list beer vacations to see what I am dreaming about.

The pandemic hit the craft beer and cider industries hard, but when I talk to breweries about it I often hear a similar message of hope—as I did when I interviewed the brewers at Patina Brewing and Mountainview Brewing, both of which opened during the pandemic.

Sometimes you just need to laugh at what scares you, and Matt Cavers’ article about pairing hand sanitizer and craft beer might help you do that. Matt has also written an in-depth look at the wave of new breweries that have been opening on working farms.

Speaking of farms and beer, check out “Craft Pollination” by Rob Mangelsdorf, all about how craft beer is affecting B.C.’s cider scene. Rob is still on parental leave, but he will be back in the Editor’s chair for the next issue.

And also check out my article about the Diversity in Brewing initiative. I wish I had a lot more space to explore this topic, but I hope it is at least a starting point for learning more and thinking about this important issue.

Cheers,

Joe Wiebe, interim editor
