Just in Time Shucking demo! Wild PEI oysters - need a light touch when opening these Naturally shaped shells. Meanwhile, back @starfishoyster @beaumontdrinks and I would wax poetic of barley hops water & oysters - with inspirational chats came the idea of #ScrimshawOysterStout using the #Singlebed @greengablesoysters #wilds Sláinte & HappyShucking Stephen! Posted @withrepost • @beaumontdrinks I shuck a LOT more oysters since the lovely and no-longer-on-Insta Maggie got me this great @shuckerpaddy knife. And with boxes of 25 oysters now on sale at @metroontario for, I think, $13, it pays for itself! (This is an entirely unsponsored post. I just really like this knife and oysters, and am excited about digging into a fresh box in a few hours.) #PEI #Oysters #Merroir #Terroir #Shucking #OysterBar #WildOysters #OysterStout #OysterKnives #KnifeMaker #Beer #BeerWriter #Author #ChattyPaddy #OystersAndBeer #IllDrinkToThat #LetsGetShucking #KeepOnShucking #ShuckinglyYoursPaddy (at Scarborough, Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl_PKB2OR88/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Repost @brewjayofficial ・・・ I had an amazing time at the 31st Anniversary event for @karlstraussbeer last night, and have to thank @radcraftbeer, @emilyhutto, @cheafranz and @ehamrick16 for helping me to go to an event for a wonderful company. Karl Strauss is who gave me my start in beer so they hold a special place in heart and have played an important roll in my life.

This blog led to a book. Sort of. Check out “Tapping the West”

So, it sure isn’t 2016 anymore. A lot has happened since! Like the installation of strange(r) leaders. An extraordinary reckoning with racism. A global pandemic. And it’s all still happening with no sign of letting up.

Utterly insignificant in comparison, but nevertheless in the midst of it all, came this, my first book - Tapping the West: How Alberta’s Craft Beer Industry Bubbled out of an Economy Gone Flat.

I’m writing about it here, in what I promise will be the last post of One Year of Alberta Beer, because this blog is what inspired it. If you read any of the posts below, you’ll know that I spent Jan.1 to Dec. 31 of 2016 just trying to get to know Alberta craft beer. What a lovely, overwhelming introduction it was.

When it was all over (the year, not the beer), and the industry would go on to double in size in 2017 then continue to grow beyond that, I decided that I needed to know more. No - I decided that the world needed to know more.

I wondered: 

How was it possible that this industry was taking off in this way?

What factors were conspiring to make every trip to the liquor store an hour-long exercise in indecision?

What did the rapid growth say about and mean to Alberta?

Where was it all headed?

And much, much more!

Happily, a publisher called Touchwood Editions also felt the world should know. So there you go: Tapping the West, which I never imagined would ever exist back in that very innocent time of early 2016, is now available for your enjoyment and edification. (Get yours today!)

How about my timing, huh? When this book came out in May, we were in lockdown, scrubbing our hands raw and scrolling endlessly through Netflix. What a world. Alberta beer isn’t going to be the thing that saves it, but I can’t help but think the fact that there’s a lot more of the stuff around right now is good thing. 

And that’s not just because the beer is so great. It’s bigger than the beer. It’s the spirit of it all. If only we could tap that.

I hope you enjoy the book. Thanks for reading my blog. The end.

When we say there's fruit we mean FRUIT! Introducing the "Check She Fig'uh" IPA! Loaded with #NewYorkState Malt and Hops and fermented with tons of Fig. Just the right balance of hop aroma with our West Indian IPA style of lingering sweetness.

Milk Stout // EXIT _________________________________________________ Happy Father’s Day! This is my first Father’s Day and in order to celebrate and to farewell the dreaded wraith that is winter I’m treating myself to this milky little cow girl. My son is crazy about his milk so I thought I’d see what all the fuss was about. Of course I’m having my lactose in the form of a milk stout not breastmilk, I’m not crazy! (My wife wouldn’t let me have a go no matter his much I tried.) Exit’s Milk Stout is as smooth as the teats of an udder and sweeter than kissing your high school sweetheart in a field of sugar cane. Aroma and flavour are both full of roasted malt, dark chocolate and sweet vanilla. Mouthfeel is creamy like an albino yet it’s thinner than the dense colour suggests. It’s very nice way to celebrate a special day but try to find it before the glorious beast that is summer turns up! 5.2% ABV 73/100 @exitbrewing #milkstout #stout #beer #craftbeers #beerstagram #beerblog #beerreview #beertography #beeroftheday #beergram #beergeek #beergasm #beerpic #beerporn #beernerd #fathersday #firstfathersday #breastmilk #dense #craftbeer #craftbeerporn #craftbeernotcrapbeer #craftbeerlover #fanaticbeer #beerphoto #bier #australianbeer #beerwriter #winter : @thewayyououghtto

2 recent Op-shop purchases for my beer library. Willie Simpson's "Amber & Black" (2001) is a truly excellent lesson in writing about Australian beer. Plain English, well constructed, short sentences, and plenty of flavour.
