Sad, but sadly, not unexpected......

Sad loss for Calgary and Alberta brewing with the passing of Jim Button. Shared many conversations with him over the years, and he shall always remain a Calgary icon. RIP Jim.

Craft lagers come in a variety of styles, even some your dad will like! More Alberta breweries are showcasing how varied lagers can be.
Once the problem child of craft brewing, lagers have recently become a cherished 'newcomer'. David Nuttall explores the difficult upbringing of lager, and shares picks from Alberta breweries that are shining a new light on lager. culinairemagazine.ca/craft-l…

Don’t be put off! Sour beers are making a name for themselves in Alberta’s craft brewing scene, where centuries-old recipes are reimagined with modern brewing techniques. Find the complete story at culinairemagazine.ca/sour-be….

Today is @CDNBeerDay. Starting last year, Canadian Beer Day was born as a day dedicated specifically to celebrating Canadian beer and the people who brew, sell, deliver, serve and enjoy it. Support your local breweries...or any from across the land. Cheers. #BeerProud #CDNBeerDay
Did you know Alberta has over 500 varieties of gin and about 10% are distilled in the province, many using unique local botanicals? Check out the Sept. 2020 issue of @CulinaireMag & also see who won best gins at the Alberta Beverage Awards in the upcoming October issue.

Then search them out and try them. Note: not all beers are available in all provinces....thus is our lot in life.
Congrats to all the winners of the #cba2020 including the 38 award winners from Alberta (out of 165 awards) for a 23% win rate. Pretty good for a province where most of the breweries are much less than 7 years old. Special nod to @CommonCrownBrew for winning Brewery of the Year.
Not an easy fruit to play with. Fortunately we in Alberta get a couple of very decent blueberry ales...@WeAreBrewsters Brewfoot & @alley_kat_beer (when they make it). If you are ever in NE USA though....the best I have ever had is @BluePointBrewer Blueberry Ale from Long Island.

Joe Carter HR was game 6- so even if Phillies win there was still another game.

So the play happened early in his career, with no way of knowing he would have the streak he had. Question: I wonder if the coach would have subbed him out if he had his unbroken streak and this play happened very late in his career?
BTW- I never minded driving through Texas- have done N-S and E-W many times (my uncle lives in Houston) and we would drive from Alberta, Canada to there quite a few times. So I have literally been all over Texas. It's one of my favourite states.
That's nothing....try driving across Ontario, Canada. This distance isn't even the whole province. At least Texas has about 29 million people; this stretch has about 1/2 million people (almost all of Ont. population is south of Ottawa). A couple of mining towns & not much else.
