Hi! I left my Shakespeare and Co. bag at Persephone Brewing last weekend. I called the brewery and they confirmed they have it and are storing it for me. If anyone here plans on going to Van this week and are willing to pick my bag up along the way, I'm happy to arrange a meetup anywhere convenient to pick it up in exchange for a monetary reward! (negotiable price).

Comment or dm if interested!

edit: bag successfully retrieved!! thank you kind people of the coast! 😁

Hey all,

I have one last night in Vancouver tomorrow and need to narrow down my East Van choices.

For context I have visited all of the below breweries on this trip, and the standouts in terms of beer quality were Backcountry, Beere, and Brassneck.

I am also looking to grab some sweet merch. Having dinner at The Magnet tomorrow night so food doesn't matter too much, though some snacks would be appreciated.

Cold Garden, Calgary

Burn Block Social Club, Calgary

Sheepdog, Banff

Rumpus Beer Company, Revelstoke

Backcountry, Squamish

Whistler Brewing, Whistler

Coast Mountain, Whistler

Howe Sound, Squamish

Beere, Vancouver

Stanley Park Brewing, Vancouver

Granville Island, Vancouver

Brassneck, Vancouver

33 Acres, Vancouver

Electric Bicycle, Vancouver

R&B Brewery, Vancouver

As far as current East Van breweries I have on my list, here they are. I just don't know if I can manage The Magnet and then 5 breweries. What would you prioritize if you had to pick 3, and which have the best merch selection?

Storm

Threefold

Superflux

Luppolo

Strange Fellows

Thanks all!

Edit: I should have mentioned I drink mainly IPAs and Pale Ales, with a hazy preference.

Hey!
I’m currently living in Vancouver and I want to send my parents in Germany a package with some local BC/Canadian products.
I’d really like to include a few cans of local beer, maybe 10-12 cans. I already asked at a liquor store, but the staff weren’t sure whether or how this can be shipped internationally.
Has anyone here actually shipped beer from BC to Germany (or Europe) before? Is there a legal/practical way to do it as a private person, or a local store/brewery that can ship it for me?
Thanks!

How do people generally feel when breweries post about upcoming events on Instagram, and the image was clearly made using AI?

I’ve been noticing more breweries in BC doing this recently. Today I saw a post on Instagram from a brewery in Langley that I really liked, and it was unfortunate to see that they clearly used AI.

These images are always ugly (in my opinion) and it honestly turns me off a bit to the actual brewery whenever I see it.

Curious if others feel similarly or if it’s not a big deal to most people.
