Upcoming Beer Travels
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009 | Beer
I’ve got back to back weekends coming up that involve beer travel and I am pretty excited about them.
This Saturday, Erik, guest contributor Peter, and I are heading down to Seattle for the Washington Cask Beer Festival. Their mouth watering lineup includes sixty one-of-a-kind beers brewed by thirty seven of Washington State’s illustrious brewers. My obsessive compulsive nature has me wanting to try each one. I am pretty sure this won’t be possible (or healthy), but we are staying the night, so I won’t be holding back. We are also going to eat at a few brewpubs and are planning a stop at Bottleworks, where I hope to find some rare gems. Because I don’t get down to Seattle much, I am really looking forward to this. Erik and I will definitely be writing about our upcoming adventure.
The following weekend, I and twelve of my friends are heading to Victoria for guest contributor Dave‘s stag. Having already done my homework, I booked us at Swans Hotel and we’ll definitely be visiting Canoe Club and Spinnakers also. A good portion of us are beer enthusiasts, but we’ll all be sampling the fresh and tasty wares of Victoria’s finest brewpubs before we paint the town red. We have rounds of golf at Cordova Bay and Olympic View booked and secured a hot dog suit for the weekend. This is as close to heaven on earth as it gets for me. Friends, beer, golf, and a hot dog suit, what more could a man want?
Cheers,
Chris

Victoria reader here. Been loving the blog and the steady stream of local beer, etc… Seriously jealous of the Washington trip – Bottleworks will blow you away (and your wallet). Enjoy Victoria as well!
Cheers Eric, glad you like the blog. I will surely enjoy Bottleworks. I really hope I can contain myself so duty doesn’t have its way with me. Do you have a beer store to rival Brewery Creek in Vancouver that I should check out over there?
I just checked out your blog. Palo Santo Marron and Peche Mortel are intense, eh? Also, you are wrong about the Flames. If you were not born in Calgary, you might also be a bad person for supporting them.
Not born in Calgary but lived there for some time… so I’ll have to be forgiven for my affiliations… even if they do lead the division!
Nothing to rival Brewery Creek here, which is a shame. I think Hillside Liquor is headed in the right direction but it will take a bit of time. Enjoy the brewpubs and the city!
I see. At least you lived there, but it’s no lifelong affiliation with your home team. Calgary may not be winning the division for long either, but we’ll see.
I will definitely enjoy the brewpubs and the city. Is Victoria hot dog suite friendly?
Cheers,
Chris
