VBC Brewpub Tour - Yaletown Brewing
A whole town of microbrews called me north
|
After we broke breakfast rules, Brett and I headed out to Yaletown Brewing for the next stop on our Vancouver Brewpub Tour.
Sadly, at first we were denied seating by Yaletown. Seems they require a food purchase if you want to drink beer in the restaurant. Full from breakfast, we declined and were seen to the bar. For our troubles, we got a free round, quickly cooling our frustration and making the beer taste even better. Right about now, Brett and I realized that we had almost exact opposite tastes in beers. Brett loves hops. He may even eat them straight. I prefer more malt, and love me chocolate porters. At Yaletown, I had a wheat beer with lemon and Brett went with the Yippee IPA . To our great horror a pair of cougars sat at the table next to us and ordered Bud Lights. While I have no issue with older women on the prowl - I enjoyed a few in my single days - to do so with a "light beer" changes the spectrum from fun to sad. I wanted to buy them both a stout! Yet I refrained, and soon, with empty glasses in front of us, Brett and I left for the next inebriating treat: Steamworks Brewing |
