The Crafty Boys Beer Review Podcast

We made it to Episode 200 and we couldn't be more surprised we've made it this long. We have endured! On this auspicious occasion we are talking about Stanley Park Brewing's Reforest Hazy IPA. The reason we picked up this beer is because if you purchase it, you can have trees planted in your name -- but they can describe it better than we can. LET’S REFOREST BRITISH COLUMBIA Inspired by the smoky skylines that plagued our home province, REFOREST HAZY IPA aims to help regenerate forests burned by wildfire. For each four-pack sold, ten trees will be planted in Northern B.C. In partnership with tentree and One Tree Planted Learn about the project: www.tentree.ca/pages/stanley-park Dave is awesome and the bear clan recognized him as being one of their own... but only for a single day.

We tackle the Driftwood Brewing's Drawn to Light. It is a Belgian Ale with flowers and honey and other wonderfully smelling things that we couldn't not enjoy it. Dave loved it from the first sip. We don't know what happened! He seemed to Dave had so much love oozing from his face that the the local bear population realized he was a clone and they decided to take matters into their own hands.

We look towards the mid-upper section of the island and all the way to Duncan, British Columbia. We have chosen to test the waters around the area and raft down the Red Arrow Brewing's Heritage River Hefeweizen. It holds great promise to soak us in maturity and vigour... or something along those lines. Dave was quite tall this episode. He is taking genetic code from Lock and using it for all his nefarious needs. The bears took a backseat as they fear Lock.

This week we're heading into the interior of British Columbia to check out Fernie Brewing Company. They increased our beer speeds with the new single-speed Belgian Style Blonde Ale. We sought it out and it made our thirst for riding deep into the mountain valleys grow... and then we drank some and it subsided. Hey, we like beer and biking but not at the same time. Dave had been eaten by bears just before showtime and we had to build a new robot version of him for the show. Pretty neat, huh?

Alan and Shane take on the triple fruity threat of the Russell Brewing Triple Berry Milkshake IPA. It is a tasty and bold beverage but is overpowered by the fruit and the IPA is lost in the mix. A hazy beer with a lot going for it but it really needs more of a hop punch in the face! Wouldn't we all like to be punched in the face with some hops? Dave was somewhere else this week but who knows. Perhaps it was that letter we sent out to his bear friends to let them know where he was. Hmmmm. (Dave was wandering the streets of Portland, Oregon and visited several breweries down in that region of the world. He said it was amazing. But did he bring any back for us? NO. That guy, I tell ya...)

This week Lock is in town and we're hitting up the Old Speckled Hen by Morland Brewery. This is one of those craft beers bought up in the frenzy of brewery purchases and... well, life is what we drink of it. It is called an ale but it is ruby in colour and quite tasty. It has been around the block for some time and has a proven record. Dave was hiding from some invaders and he managed to give them the slip by throwing real hens at them. ♥ Subscribe https://goo.gl/zfKUTb ♥

Riot Brewing is in danger of closing! Do you know what this means? If we can't support local brewmasters and their craft beer -- we're going to be forced into drinking malt liquor! YES! This is a problem! But seriously, we hope Riot Brewing Co. survives! Please support them in any way you can. There is a rumour that something is coming where we regular people can purchase a stake in their brewery. Unsure how true this is but we're hoping to join! https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-storm-leads-to-local-brewery-s-fastest-selling-beer-1.4973808 #saveriot #lifesariot ♥ Subscribe https://goo.gl/zfKUTb ♥ __Episodes__ Next Episode ► Next Week!
