#IPADay

i know ipa day was last week
but i'm a bit slow on the photo upload, okay?!

here is the fabulous ryan and myself in the shirts we made for our pub crawl
adorable aren't we?


first stop of the crawl was yaletown brewpub
where we enjoyed iain hill's dry-hopped with simcoe cask of brick & beam ipa
yaletown hosts a cask night every thursday, tapping at 4

we also had the extra treats made for us by lundy and ryan
lundy made ipa bread with deschutes inversion
ryan made his now famous ipa peanut brittle, this batch with hopworks ace of spades

second stop was the railway club
where they had specials on bottles of howe sound devil's elbow ipa, russell ip'eh and r&b hoppelganger...
and phillips hop circle on tap
i had the hop circle
the railway also celebrated international beer day on august 5th with bands and many beer specials
and has a weekly cask night on tuesdays, tapping at 5

the third stop was the newly crafted malones urban drinkery
where we had a big high-top table reserved for us
all ipa taps were on special
i had the acme ipa
and we were given plates of nachos for the table

malones
fourth stop was steamworks brewpub
where we had space in the lounge reserved for us
i had the ipa... but wish i'd had the raspberry instead
the ipa is fine, but not as hoppy as the others i had been drinking so it didn't thrill me, unfortunately

steamworks
our final stop was at rogue kitchen and wet-bar
where we had a whole room reserved for us
four ipas on the rotating tap
and appy specials
i had a flight of the four ipas on rotation:  central city red racer ipa, driftwood fat tug, crannog insurrection and moylan's ipa
delicious, every last one of them!

rogue kitchen and wet bar
the crawl was a whole lotta fun
and i hope we make it an annual thing!
thanks to the beer wench for coming up with the idea of ipa day
thanks to ryan for helping me plan our vancouver celebration
and thanks to the pubs for hosting us so well!

see you november 3 for #StoutDay!!
