Great info. Thanks. Looked at Airbnb in Gastown last night, lots of great options.
sounds good, I'll shoot you a message when I'm getting all my plans finalized!box_social if you're up for swinging by for a few beers I'd love to organize something. I owe you a beer or two for that raffle I won back in the day!
And about time this thread got updated too... will look at it on the weekend.
would anyone be interested in an IP trade for De Garde for some Four Winds stuff? not sure on the price but hoping for two bottles of Nectarous or so if they're readily available in the area since I won't be making to their location. I have a bottle each of Saison Melange, Grand Blanc, Grand Rouge, and Petit Desay available.
Did they make Nectarous again? Cause that was delicious last year
Curious to see if this will help getting rid of the bottle variation that some bottles encountered. Some of the last bottles I had were sooooo far away from the best ones I had that I'm sure there was bottle variation. Such a good brew.Nectarous will now be year round. They abandoned the bottle conditioned cork/cage 750ml release in favour of bombers. Haven't done a side-by-side yet but the initial reviews are quite good.
Trade with Lurkaholiclooking for some good recommendations
This thread doesn't appear to get much action, but coming to Vancouver in two weeks to run the Seawheeze Half and looking for some good recommendations for breweries/brewpubs/bottle shops while I'm in town. Get in Friday morning and leave Tuesday afternoon!
Cheers,
Christopher

2 friends of mine who were in BC recently and know quite well the local scene (they used to live in VAN City) told me that they were disapearing quickly. It'll probably settle down in the next few months, but for now, they vanish quite fast. It's possible that it'll be easier to find during the fall, so you should be ok.Have they been releasing it regularly? How hard is it to find with the new release format? Will be visiting from Winnipeg in the fall and thought I was out of luck for a few bottles.

If you have time, a drive down to Four Winds in Delta is worth it. Not too far but I don't know if you have a car.
It disappears pretty quickly but at least it gets released a little more regularly. There's still plenty around at the less popular bottle shops.Have they been releasing it regularly?

Hello all! I will be in your lovely city in a couple of weeks to watch the Sharks play the Canucks with the family.
Looks like there are already some beer recommendations in here, but I am also looking for other family activities to partake in other than the hockey game. Looks like I'm staying in the Mt. Pleasant area according to Google, but I will have a car, so any suggestions are appreciated!
Can’t recommend Alibi Room highly. Enough. My favorite family friendly brewery was Brassneck.Alibi Room is family friendly, has awesome brunch and a killer tap list. Maybe the Christmas Market downtown, spend the day at Stanley Park, etc.
I'll be up in Vancouver in a few weeks as well. Kid free weekend at the Fairmont Pacific Rim. Planning on hitting Alibi Room, Strathcona/Superflux and Luppolo on a drunken walking tour while my wife has spa day.

Yeah, 33 Acres is fine -- good food, too. I wasn't impressed by the beer. A shame about Brassneck -- they were quite light when we were there, and they were awesome. Comped drinks, a toy for our daughter...33 Acres isn't far away and family friendly as well. The day I went to Brassneck they were packed and limiting the number of people in at once. That was weird.
Also, if you're driving make sure you stop at Four Winds in Delta.

33 Acres and Brassneck are both <10 minute walk from where I'm staying. That's good to hear that they are worth a visit.Can’t recommend Alibi Room highly. Enough. My favorite family friendly brewery was Brassneck.

They definitely are -- and I should clarify: I liked some beers a lot at 33 Acres, I just wasn't blown away. Well worth walking to.33 Acres and Brassneck are both <10 minute walk from where I'm staying. That's good to hear that they are worth a visit.
