Default Beer Strike

First it was the ferry workers, then it was the Hospital Employee Union, now its the Beer suppliers turn to go on strike. Next thing you know they will be selling militant worker on street corners in BC.

Luckily we escaped the general strike. Now is the time for the micro brewers to get a bigger foot hold in the market. Time for some Salt Spring Ale, one of the best ales I have tasted since being over here.

Never tasted Granville Island beer, whats it like. You just cant beat drinking a cool glass of ale on a hot day sitting on one of the gulf islands looking out into the channel and watching the ferries cruise past. Makes me happy that I chose BC.

Granville Island beer is great. Far nicer than Molson and Labatts.

And it's a great brewery tour too, especially with all that free beer.

Cheers, Iain
