			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past weekend I traveled to Victoria with twelve guys for my friend Dave&#8217;s Bachelor party.  We stayed at the historic Swans Hotel, home of the excellent <a href="http://www.swanshotel.com/brewery.php">Swans Buckerfields Brewery</a>.  Sadly, we were too busy engaging in debauchery to have a proper taste of the great beers available at Swans.  We did make our way home laden with a few excellent bottles though.  We did get to both <a href="http://www.canoebrewpub.com/">The Canoe Club</a> and <a href="http://www.spinnakers.com/">Spinnakers Brewpub</a>, one each night for dinner and some warmup beers.  It wasn&#8217;t looking good for us when we showed up to a packed Canoe on Friday night with thirteen guys.  Miraculously, we managed to conjure a thirteen man table in less than twenty minutes.  We achieved a similar feat at Spinnakers on Saturday, this time in less than five minutes.  We are still very proud of ourselves.  I really enjoyed the beer and food at Canoe and Spinnakers, but must say I preferred both at Canoe</p>
<p>Needless to say, our weekend was not focused on beer tasting and I have no meaningful beer related tidbits to share, besides that we had a great time at the brewpubs.  Our other activities included great rounds of golf at <a href="http://www.cordovabaygolf.com/">Cordova Bay</a> and <a href="http://www.golfbc.com/courses/olympic_view">Olympic View</a>, neither of which I had played before.  Olympic View was particularly beautiful, not to mention challenging.  We were a bit rough around the edges on Saturday and were lucky to have chosen a team format for the day&#8217;s round.  This applied especially to Dave, who actually tossed his club a solid sixty yards on his first full swing, unintentionally.  Not fully understanding the Victoria bar scene, we had less luck with our choices in nightlife venues.  We had a decent time, but were unlucky to have been involved in an altercation on the first night.  Turns out I can take a beer bottle to the head.  Although you won&#8217;t believe me, no I did not do anything to deserve it.  The second night, when Dave went out in his hot dog suit, was much more interesting.  I&#8217;ll let you guess at what might have happened.</p>
<p>All and all, Victoria was a decent place for a stag.  We&#8217;ve got another one coming up in Seattle and we&#8217;ll need to drink some beer.  I&#8217;ll keep you posted.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
