The sun is shining, and nothing says sunny day refreshment like two hefty malt bombs.

Hot Monday night? Cool off with a refreshing chalice of KBS. A real summer refresher, this light and breezy beer will pep you right up! #ivegotacaseofthemondays #butitsreallymysaturday #sorefreshing #fitspo

I’d tell you all about how I spent Canada Day but my recollection is a little hazy. #seewhatididthere

Okay so maybe I like wine too. Drawing some maps and annotating them to study for my @wsetglobal Level 2. • • • • • #wine #vino #winelover #winetasting #winetime #instawine #winery #redwine #vinho #winelovers #vin #wineporn #wineoclock #winestagram #wines #vineyard #wino #winegeek #whitewine #winecountry #wein #champagne #drink #winelife #sommelier #drinks #cocktails #ilovewine #cheers #beer

Mexican style roasted yam and blackened corn salad with a lime crema, paired with the fabulous Gose with Black Lime from @luppolo_brewing Amazing convergence of flavours between the lime zest and juice in the crema and the black lime in the beer. The crisp acidic and carbonic finish of the beer helped wash away the creaminess of the crema, and the caramelisation of the yams was a great match for the malt profile of the beer. Pretty chuffed with how this one turned out! • • • • • #beer #craftbeer #beerporn #instabeer #beerstagram #beergeek #bier #cerveza #cerveja #beertography #beernerd #birra #beerlover #ipa #craftbeerporn #foodgasm #yum #eat #foodpic #dinner #foodpics #lunch #breakfast #foodphotography #foodlover #tasty #hungry #foodblogger #dessert #healthyfood

I’d write something funny but I just reviewed two doppelbocks and I really just need a bit of a nap. Edit: two amazing malt focussed brews — one from Bavaria and one from the interior of BC. For more details, hit up the website. Link in profile.

Here’s where I find out if any any of my followers are bitter about 0 IBU beers. This interstellar good boy from @redcollarbrewing is a really delicious example of this uncommon beer style. It’s pretty interesting stuff, and if you’d like to know more, follow the link in my profile for a quick read!

You’d best be wary around this beast of a brew, or you’re likely to get body slammed. This imperial oatmeal stout with coconut is a tasty heavyweight that’ll make you stagger. @twinsailsbeer has put together a roast, nutty, creamy brew that satisfies both the old school beer snobs and the pretty young things.

Today I compared @coalescebeer Val d’Or with its inspiration, the famous Trappist beer Orval. This was a heap of fun, and I was able to enjoy two fantastic beers. Also I accidentally smashed a champagne glass and knocked over the Orval bottle and basically made a giant mess. So yeah. Maybe pop over to my little website (link in bio as they say) and find out what I discovered!

Finally got around to trying this lovely collaboration between Steamworks Brewing and Blasted Church Winery. Verdict? Gonna pick up a few more! This style beer is made by adding grape must (Gewürztraminer in this case) before fermentation. Other examples I’ve had really leaned into the grape, and have been quite acidic. This was a pleasant change, being quite well balanced, with the grape aromas just sneaking out behind the yeast’s peppery notes. The acidity was kept in check as well, making this a lot more approachable for those who haven’t tried this sort of thing before.
