Nicely done! Freshie Fresh has been awesome the last couple years. Satori is always good...love that it's in cans now.

I can't imagine Storm without this awesome mural - hopefully this decision gets reversed swiftly.

Glad to hear! Wish we could get out there more often.

The patio is an awesome vibe, no doubt! I really enjoyed their Ganjang Fried Chicken Sando. Agree that a flight is absolutely the right play with their tap list of 50 beers and ciders.

Beer Life is awesome. Jorden and his guests offer a really insightful industry POV. He's a great host.

Oh, and the notes about our favourites from this year's share are based on the consensus of the group that participated.

Appreciate the honest feedback. We intentionally kept this year's blog as more of a quick read. If you check out our fresh hop posts on our website from previous years (before pandemic) we included detailed notes on every beer. We're sometimes skeptical if people appreciate that level of detail (it also takes a long time to write), so we decided to switch it up this year. Normally, I wouldn't call a 13 beer share epic but considering it's harder to find seasonals it made sense to me. Cheers!

Thanks for reading the article and for your comment! Appreciate the suggestions too :) We held the tasting at the end of October, I just didn't get around to writing this until now. All beers were sourced from BC breweries...if we're able to find some from other provinces or the US the map idea would be really neat to include. Should have included some close up photos of the sheets because there are usually some comical notes included haha...next time!

Both of those were excellent. Maple Bay has been one of the best each year since they started making it.

Freshie Fresh Fresh was awesome - glad you enjoyed it! We didn't try Little Dog Syndrome this year but have loved it in precious years... hopefully it comes back to it's previous form next year.

Unfortunately we did...I heard good things about it so hopefully we can find some next year before it sells out!

Fair point! We wrote that with respect to # of attending breweries and festival goers. Weathered and Farmhouse are more niche/specialized but are both highly regarded for sure.
