Bavarian IPA: A Project Hop Tasting Experiment

150 Years Later: Restoring British Columbia’s Estuaries to Save Salmon

What happens when 150 years of human engineering collides with thousands of years of natural history?

British Columbia's estuaries, where rivers meet the sea, are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth. For millennia, they sustained vast salmon runs and the Indigenous communities that depended upon them. But over the past century and a half, diking, drainage, logging, agriculture, industry, and urban development have fundamentally reshaped these landscapes.

Today, scientists, conservation organizations, governments, and First Nations are working together to repair some of that legacy.

What Happens After the Last Shift?

Across Canada and the Western world, mines, mills, factories, and oilfields have shaped not only local economies, but entire ways of life. When those industries decline or close, communities are left to answer difficult questions: How do people adapt? What survives? And what is lost forever?

Beer is a Time Machine: Viking Ale, Porter and IPA

Travel through nearly 900 years of brewing history as you sample three historically beers while uncovering the stories behind them. From the distinctive raw ales of the Vikings, to the dark porter that fueled the Industrial Revolution, to the bold, hop-forward India Pale Ale that conquered the British Empire, each glass opens a window into a different world.

More than a tasting, this is an evening of history, storytelling, and beer. You'll discover why these styles emerged, who brewed them, how they reflected the societies that produced them, and why their influence can still be found in your pint today.
