The Winter 2018 issue of The Growler is here!

The latest issue of The Growler is available at breweries, private liquor stores and newsstands across the province now!

The Winter 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 165 brewery listings and 350-plus beers.

This past year has been an exciting one in Growler Land. We’ve launched our very own collaboration beer series, redesigned our website and our magazine to bring you more great content, and celebrated the opening of another 20 breweries across the province.

Well, hold on to your butts, because we have even more big news!

This issue, we’re also excited to announce the first-ever Growler Craft Beer Awards, AKA The Growlies! Unlike other craft beer awards and contests, the Growlies are decided by the beer-drinking public. We tallied up tens of thousands of votes and you can see the results, along with profiles of some of the winning beers and breweries. We hope you’ll join us and celebrate everything that makes the B.C. craft beer scene such a beautiful, delicious thing.

Speaking of delicious things, ‘tis the season for dark, malty beers, so Joe Wiebe looks at the history of porters and stouts, and what, if any, the difference is between the two. If you’re thinking about cellaring some of the boozy year-end releases that are out right now, we have a handy guide so you won’t get soaked by gushing bottles of poorly stored beer. And if you discover something’s not quite right with that dusty wax-dipped-barrel-aged-whatever, Kristina Mameli’s guide to beer off-flavours will help you diagnose the problem.

We’ve also got lots of seasonally appropriate, non-denominational fun, from gift guides and winter reading lists, to a recipe for a yummy beer soup that will warm your soul, and your liver!

So enjoy the holidays, and whatever you’re drinking, drink responsibly.
