Of course, while in Vancouver I visited the Granville Island Brewery, which was the first microbrewery in Canada (opened in 1984). It was a fun little tour of their 'experiment' brewery (their main one is in Kelowna now). Got to taste three of their brews including their new Raspberry Ale. It's a tasty light bodied ale with a real tart raspberry kick. If you dig fruit beers that don't get crazy with the sweetness and stay true to their down home hops and malt roots, you'll dig this!
The best part of the tour, however, were the super cool people I met. Jackie, her husband Scott, and her brother Dave invited me out with them to watch the hockey game at their other brothers apartment and then party on Granville Street with them and several of their friends.... it was a blast! Some of the nicest and funnest people I've met! They made me feel right at home. Thanks for the great time guys!
Picture time!
Here's one of how crazy Granville Street was:
Also, they SPRING BREAK!!!!!! as readily in Vancouver as anywhere else!
Well that's it for now...... In a couple days I'll be off to Victoria to tour the Vancouver Island Brewery as well as several brew pubs on the island.... Winning!
Hells yeah! I hope you didn't get a chance to watch games 3 & 4 though... train wrecks, the both of them. It was awesome to meet you! Maybe we'll run into each other again when you move to Vancouver after your tour is done... (because we both know you will...)
