Do all these health updates and technical talky talks just sound a little Greek to everyone? . I can't know for sure what everything means, but I'm pretty sure that we're all supposed to stay home and wear a mask. Right? . Kinda right... Also kinda wrong! Well, the mask part is right. In fact, our local restaurants are working extra hard to provide a safe escape from the cabin fever and the omnipresent anxiety of COVID.... . In fact! White Rock's annual dining festival is back and ready for us and our safe six! From November 1 to November 30, you can come try a special dish or drink that any participating eatery offers. . If you're not ready to eat out yet (me) you can safely order out and eat it in the safety of you own home. . Today I got to try some fantastic eats from a community staple - Cosmos Greek Restaurant. They have been around forever and are a community favourite! You gotta try them! The Lamb is amazing! . Check out @whiterock_bia for more details on other participants! . #tastewhiterock #mywhiterock #whiterockbc #supportlocal #eatlocal #besafe #eatsafe #eatout #eatin #smallbusiness #beerme #monday #southsurrey #takeout #orderin #community #foodfestival See more

Lest we forget... It's sad to say, but I think a lot of us have forgotten these days. . Those before us sacrificed so much more than we could imagine. If they were here now to witness what we've done with the world, we might get a slap. . Those out there today fighting to keep the peace must feel a bit dismayed. ... . We can do better! We CAN work together. . 2020 is our wake-up call... . Let's just finish out the year as best we can and make 2021 the year we build out the future together, for each other and with each other. We CAN lift each other up to do great things and not leave anyone behind. It's a tall order, but I think we're up for it! . Let's raise our glass for those who have fought for our lazy ass! And a better tomorrow. . Cheers gang! . #remembranceday #lestweforget#poppy #bottlecaps #supportlocal #supporteachother #bccraftbeer #drinklocal #remembranceday2020 #november #flandersfields #craftbeer #craftbeerlife #beerme #bcaletrail See more

This weekend brings an end to #bcbeermonth. There is no better way to cap it off than to toast this sunset with the @bcaletrail Explore BC IPA. . This beer could be the most far reaching Collaboration BC has ever seen!!! Six breweries from all over our province hooked up with the @bcaletrail to bring a beer that celebrates their individual and unique ale trails! . If you try really hard you can taste the influence from all of them:... @vibrewing @wheelhousebeer @fieldhousebrewing @redcollarbrewing @bomberbrewing @ferniebrewingco . If that doesn't get you going how about this!!! - > It's brewed with real Haskap Berries! And I totally know what those are. . On a more personal note, I took this summer of Covid to explore all the ale trails I could. I went from the Wild North to the Mountainous East, through the Ranches, Rivers and Ranges of the interior, back to the busy Southern Coast and Up the Sea to Sky. . We are truely blessed to have such an amazing province that has amazing beer in every nook and cranny. . See you out on the trail folks! And don't forget to check in with your BC Ale Trail App!!! . . #bcaletrail #bccraftbeer #explorebc #drinklocal #drinkbcbeer #cheer #beerme #beercan #aletrail #ipa #beer #craftbeer #beercan #friday #craftbeerweekend #bcnice #beerblog #drinkcraftbeer #bcbeer #craftbeerlife #craftbeerculture @ White Rock, British Columbia See more

It's only two days until Canadian Beer Day 2020! I know there's a lot going on this year, but if you peer through the cans, you can see a lot to be proud of in this wacky industry of ours! . Canadian Beer Day is a day to celebrate and thank all the amazing people in Canada who brew, sell, deliver, serve, and, obviously drink beer. It has been amazing to watch the community rise up and overcome challenges to keep the wheels in motion. We've seen some all kinds of charitab...le initiatives, collaborations, hand sanitizer production, and many creative pivots to overcome COVID-19 complications! Job well-done gang! . This coming Wednesday, October 7th, help us thank this amazing industry by raising a glass on your social media and using #CDNbeerday and #BeerProud to show your support. See you then! .

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT DAY IT IS? . Seriously, it seems like everyday is just blending into the next these days. Weekends and weekdays are basically the same thing. I wake up feeling slightly hung over even when I ha want had anything to drink! Worst of all.. I've started wearing pants again. . I think @thisisbrittbailey has the right idea. Let's just go to back sleep and hope everything is better tomorrow.... . This is one extreme case of the Mondays. How is everyone doing? You coping okay? This is such a weird wild year. Like seriously weird. Right? . Big thanks to the breweries for getting us through these troubling times! . How are you staying happy lately? . . #whistlerblackcomb #earnyourbeer #bccraftbeer #sourbeer #craftbeer #beer #sleep #whistlerbc #seatosky #explorebc See more
