10 Years! Another amazing milestone for the Vancouver Island showcase that is the Island Beer & Spirits Festival at the Strathcona Hotel 🍻 #bccraftbeer #bcbeer #beer #yyjevents #yyjbeer #yyj #craftbeer #beerblog #bc #bcbeertography #bccraft #beertography #Beerphoto #bcbreweries #drinkbeermadehere #drinklocal #fbcigers #beersofinstagram #beer #drinkindependent 🍻 @distriktvic

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
Further to my last post, the haul was nice, and I appreciate the luggage space required to bring these home. #PDX #beer #craftbeer #pdxbeer #orbeer #drinkgoodbeer #drinkindependent #beerholiday #goodbeer #runfortheborder #beertravel #drinkcraftnotcrap #drinkcraft #fbcigers #friendsinbeerplaces #lovebeer #beerstaycation
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
You got your entry in? Enter to win a 2 night stay and 2 lift tix up to Mount Washington by grabbing a pint of Vancouver Island Brewing at Garrick's Head Pub. #yyj #yyjbeer #beer #yyjcraftbeer #craftbeer #bccraft #vibrews #bccraftbeer #beercanada #bcbeer #beercontest #winwithbeer
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
