Love Good Beer

A cask Thursday at Dix

Friday, March 13th, 2009 | Beer

Dix BBQ and Brewery has a cask of special ale available every Thursday (that is not a game day) at 5PM.  This past Thursday, Erik and I met up with the honourable Rick Green to sample this week’s offerings and talk about beer.  This week was a bit special, not only did Dix make a cask of their own Texas Brown Ale (think brown IPA) available, but Russell Brewing was testing out a new IPA recipe of theirs.  Considering our history with Russell Brewing, I was really interested to try their IPA.  I think we both enjoyed it, or at least I did.  I hope that Russell adds this beer to their production lineup.  It would be by far their most alluring brew and a beer I could see myself purchasing.

Dix cask nights are regularly advertised in the CAMRA Vancouver weekly newsletter, always tempting me.  I was surprised to see just how many CAMRA members actually show up on a weekly basis, fifty or so by my estimation.  We had a great time talking about beer with Rick and had the pleasure to meet other CAMRA members, including local brewers, illustrious beer store owners, and friendly beer enthusiasts.  I hope I can make my attendance at Dix Cask Thursdays a more frequent occurrence.  Good fresh beer and good times.

Cheers,

Chris
