The VCBW Opening Night<\/h3>\n

What a fantastic way to start my weekend!<\/p>\n

I was invited to the opening night of 7th Annual Vancouver Craft Beer Week (VCBW)<\/a> on Friday (May 27, 2016). The festivities were held at the Roundhouse Community Centre, with appetizers and live music, and 50+ craft beers and ciders from 30+ local breweries. It was definitely a great party to kick off the 10-day festival.<\/p>\n

The Beer Tasting<\/h3>\n

There were a lot different flavours from 50+ beers and ciders, and it was definitely hard to pick a favourite. \u00a0I took pictures of some interesting ones which I tried to\u00a0remember.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0My Pick Of The Evening Is…<\/h3>\n

Belgian Rye IPA (ABV 7% IBU 80) from Luppolo Brewing Co.<\/a>\u00a0!!! \u00a0It just happened after I tasted 6 or 7 different beers. By the time I arrived at their booth, they already cheap levitra online <\/a> sold out the\u00a0Saison Limone (ABV 6% IBU 30). Although listed as with IBU 80, the IPA’s\u00a0hoppy quality was not overwhelming, and it was filled of\u00a0other bright and refreshing notes, vibrant yet super\u00a0clean. \u00a0I’m definitely looking forward to check out their 800-square-foot tasting room, soon opening on Venebles Street in East Vancouver. According to Georgia Straight<\/a>, besides their craft beers, they will also serve aperitivo, Italian charcuterie, and sandwiches made with a traditional Italian flatbread.<\/p>\n
