From Beer to Eternity

A wise man once said,

'Some people say alcohol's a drug. It's not a drug - it's a drink.'

I offer you that piece of non-sensical gibberish to prepare you for what lies ahead.

I'm Alan - a 24 year old Londoner currently wandering about in Vancouver, Canada. I do a bit of journalism and telly related work. I have almost 6 friends. I once woke up in Quebec without any shoes.

This is my blog. It delves into the heart of Vancouver to see just what kind of beer this city can brew and bottle and what kind of pint it can pull.

That guy who is me

Is there a pub in Vancouver where you can order a yard of ale? Can you find a liquor store in British Columbia that sells Ugandan lager? Is it possible to convince a brewery manager that I'm a respectable journalist and not just some dickhead trying to get free beer?

These great mysteries, among others, will be answered.

Aside from that nonsense I'll be reviewing the best and worst drinkables that the Great White North has to offer as well. With a wealth of microbreweries and a big market for international brews Vancouver is certainly a good place to start.

So I invite you to join me in the Great Canadian Beer hunt!
