new and exciting beers at legacy liquor store in vancouver:

Samuel Adams Octoberfest - $16.35
Straight from the east coast, Massachusetts to be exact, comes a distinct and delicious Octoberfest seasonal brew. Rich in colour, with accents of amber and caramel, this beer packs a punch with notes of malt, spice, caramel and maple on the nose. Meanwhile, sugar, spice and everything nice, in addition to excellent malt characteristic, embody autumn on the palate. Simply fantastic.

Sierra Nevada Narhwhal Imperial Stout- $16.85

Brewed in honour of the majestic Narwhal Whale, this imperial stout pours as black as the depths of the Arctic Ocean accompanied with aromas of dark fruit, prune, baker’s chocolate and espresso. All about chocolate accented with coffee, the palate of this robust and perfectly balanced brew has a mile-long finish. Bravo!

Phillips Brewing Crookeder Tooth - $7.25

Crooked Tooth’s older brother is here to show us what barrel-aged pumpkin beer ought to be. This brew is amber in colour, with huge notes of vanilla and bourbon on the nose. Meanwhile, on the palate, bourbon and vanilla are once again the primary characters, with pumpkin and autumn spices backing them up. Drinking this beer is like being wrapped in a warm blanket.

My article on gender parity is on the Growler website! BREWING UP GENDER PARITY: THE QUEST FOR BEERQUALITY REBECCA WHYMAN •  JUNE 13, 2019 Women are markedly underrepresented in craft beer. This is not news to anyone. But have you ruminated on just how large the gender gap is?  A 2018 survey by Nielsen-Harris  found American craft beer drinkers are 68.5 per cent male and 31.5 per cent female. Closer to home,  BeerMeBC’s 2018 survey  had those numbers at 71 and 29 per cent, with 0.32 per cent identifying as “other.” For those not so strong in the math department, that means that there are only three women drinking craft beer for every seven men. If you were a straight man looking for a date, you wouldn’t like those odds at all. And I can tell you, as one of those three women, it’s not much fun being outnumbered everywhere I go to enjoy my beloved craft beer, delightful as those seven men may be. Drinking craft beer is the easy part—when we move into the sections of craft

LABEL OF LOVE: THE CREATIVE WORLD OF MODERN BEER CAN ART REBECCA WHYMAN •  OCTOBER 15, 2018 Clockwise from top left: Electric Bicycle Brewing Co.; Mikkeller’s Hallo Ich Bin Berliner Weisee; the beer label artwork of Vancouver artist Patrick Wong; Superflux’s Superfluousness. Contributed/file photos You can’t help it, I can’t help it—we all judge beers by their labels, maybe as much as we judge the beer itself. Beer labels have been around for ages: 83 years on cans, and much longer than that on bottles. It appears we’ve been loving beer labels for that whole time—just check out all the vintage labels you can buy on eBay! Doesn’t it seem, though, that we’re loving beer labels extra hard right now? Maybe it’s that size matters. Beer cans, especially those tall boys, offer lots of real estate for labelling. Large-format bottles provide a sizeable canvas as well. Maybe it’s as simple as habituation. Humans aren’t that different from crows; we’re attracted to bright, shiny obje
