small businesses, riew
raft breweries in the
BOs were often located
n premises that were
nexpensive and not pur-
e-built, which
evitably led to prob-
ems as demand for their
roduct increased.
‘Now that demand accounts
br. up to 14% of an otherwise
atic market, i it’s no surprise
t many pioncer craft brew-
aries oat had to move and
, le new, ones open
cry few months. “
Here’s a Where-Are-They-

Now guide to some old
friends and directions to make
SOME New Ones!

HORSESHOE BAY
BREWING CO,, 1481
Dominion St, North
Vancouver, Phi 984-2537,
Brewery Tours: Welcome, but
please phone ahead.

Founded by John Mitchell
in 1981, Canada's pioneer
micro was the first new brew-
ery in Canada in 50 years.

Now it has had to move to
roomier digs near the
Lynnwood Hotel on the
North Van end of Second
Narrows Bridge, Current part-
ners Cam & Dean carry on
the venerable tradition with
more elbow room, still making
Bay Ale and a Nut Brown that
is one of the thickest, chewiest
around (and a personal
favorite). Also being brewed
are Triple Frambozen, a
Belgian-style raspberry ale, and
the new Strange Brew LP.A.,

in which Brewmaster Dean",

_ Sweet, Large

antaloupe,

P

indulges his love of hops to

the full ina walloping ale with

a huge spicy, herbal nose that

pos the distance toa long,
ingering finish,

You can take the boys out
af the Bay, but you can’t take
the “Bay” out of the boys. Far
some reason, Horseshoe Bay
Ales are no longer served at
the Troller Pub, You'll have to
go next door to Troll 's
Restaurant or Ya Ya's Oyster
Bar to down a pint of history
where it all began.

BOWEN ISLAND
BREWING CO., 3300
Bridgeway St. Vancouver, Phi
293-2282 Brewery Tours:
Wed., Thurs. Fri, Sat & Sun at
Noon, 2 pam. & ‘t p.m.

Don and Bonnie Bradley
still live on Bowen Island, but
the brewery moved and
expanded’ carly i in 1997 to this
location aimost directly under
the Burnaby side of Second
Narrows, so the folks at
Bowen and Horseshoe Bay

i

still fa ice each other “across the
water,” only the water has
changed. ‘They needed more
room and, Don explains, “We
lived in terror of a ferry
strike.” You can't deliver kegs
by water-taxi, Bowen Brewing
concentrates on doing a few
things tu perfection, Bawen
Ale is a dream amber, perfectly
balanced, the ideal glass of ale,
Bowen Bitter is s0 true to type
John Mitchell will drink it
with an Englishman’s grudg-
ing nod of approval.

Bowen Blonde Ale, which
has done so much for their
popularity and profitability,
was a brilliant marketing
stroke: a beer that looks like
the pale pilsner-style lagers
Canadians are familiar with,

. but has the extra favor punch

of a top-fermented ale. A
“beginner’s ale” it may be, but
after an introduction to “the
Blonde,” you'll never drink
_ Bud again, .
