Bavarian IPA: A Project Hop Tasting Experiment
Join us for an evening of unique beer, sensory tasting, and brewing science as we explore two experimental beers brewed specifically for this event: a pair of Bavarian IPAs.
What exactly is a Bavarian IPA? Good question. We’re going to find out along with you.
We brewed a single IPA base recipe and split it into two batches. Both feature the German hop varieties Hallertauer Blanc and Hersbrucker, creating an IPA with a distinctly German flavour profile. But we changed one important variable: the yeast…
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.

Beer & Cheese Pairing: A Guided Sensory Workshop (Sept 17 -6:30pm)
Ready to taste some great pairings and learn the science behind matching beer with food?
Join us for an in-depth guided tasting led by one of our brewers exploring the chemistry of great beer and cheese pairings. Using sight, aroma, and taste, we’ll identify the dominant compounds in four distinct historical beer styles and discover how they interact with carefully selected cheeses.
This workshop blends sensory training, brewing history, and delicious pairings in a convivial setting. By the end, you’ll understand why certain combinations work - and how to predict great pairings on your own.
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.
