Two Wolves Great Plains Brown Ale: “A fight is going on inside me”
Dropped into Whatcom Wine and Spirits a couple weeks back after finding out they were carrying a brand of beer I was interested in checking out.

Category 12: Zombie Repellant Ale 2
If ZRA2 doesn’t stave off the zombies you can always use the bottle to whack-a-mole them.

They say we live on the “wet” coast, and although that may be true, Steamworks Brewing Company is pouring a little sunshine into the glasses of Vancouver’s craft beer community. The only steam generated brewery in Canada, Steamworks crafts a nice bright range of beers. Their Summer Ale is one of my favourite beverages for…
