Getting Fresh in the Fall

Posted on September 28, 2018September 28, 2018 by Matt

One of the best parts of the seasonal change is the anticipation of new beers on the shelves that fit the changes in temperature. At this time of year, harvest time, one of the more anticipated styles coming are fresh-hopped beers.

Mirrors are a funny thing. Everything shown is different than what really is. So when @SteelAndOak & @boomboxbrewing collabed on their A/B Side IPAs, a little reflection showed how similar, yet different they really are. 🍺 #bccraftbeer #bcbeer #beer #yvrbeer #yvr #craftbeer #collab #sobeer #mirrorbeer #beerblog #bc #bcbeertography #bccraft #beertography #Beerphoto #bcbreweries #drinkbeermadehere #drinklocal #fbcigers #beersofinstagram #mirrorimage #reflections #beerreflections #objectsinthemirror #flipit #reverseit

Always a treat when friends/family bring beer from far off places when they travel. Big thanks to my wife whose recent trip to #PDX led to some goodies, including the ever tasty Cavatica Stout from Fort George Brewery #beer #craftbeer #pdxbeer #orbeer #drinkgoodbeer #drinkindependent #beerholiday #goodbeer #runfortheborder #beertravel #drinkcraftnotcrap #drinkcraft #fbcigers #friendsinbeerplaces #lovebeer #beerstaycation

While I got word back in December, it almost felt fake until these arrived. I'm happy to say I can count myself among a fervent few that have also successfully passed the Certified Cicerone® exam. #beereducation #beergeekconfirmed #beer #beerschool #yyj #yyjbeer #craftbeer #bcbeer #bccraftbeer #beerlearning
What's become a tradition to end the holidays, a wonderfully aged bottle of Dageraad Brewing Anno. Effervescent, bright, and so refreshing, I can't think of a better way to start 2019. #beer #bcbeer #bccraftbeer #craftbeer #bccraft #yvrbeer #drinkbeermadehere #drinklocal #newbeer #beernerd #bc #beertradition #starttheyearright #2019 #newyearbeer #bcbeertography #beercanada #beertography #Beerphoto #bcbreweries #fbcigers #holidaybeer #beersofinstagram
While your holidays come to an end, remember January is a crucial month for local businesses. Use this time of year to try something new, and make a difference. #tryanuary #bcbeer #bccraftbeer #drinklocal #eatlocal #buylocal
