The Howe Sound Inn
and Brewing Company,
37801 Cleveland Ave.,
Squamish. B.C. 1-800-
919-ALES. 892-2603.
Squamish’s first combina-
tion hotel and brewpub was
ushered in with a grand Nov.

. 30 opening celebration.

Hosts David Fenn and
Stephen Shard are the dri-
ving force behind the Sound
and the Brewery (apologies
to Mr. Faulkner).

Their hotel features 20
rooms, a 90-seat brewpub
and its 90-seat Red Heather
restaurant. Don’t ask me
who Heather is.

Chef Mark Livingston, I
presume, presides over the
Howe Sound’s kitchen.

He has put together an
interesting menu for
Squamish folk.

How about Oven-baked
Goat’s Cheese in Pastry with
Woodland Mushrooms and
Sour Apple and Bitter Ale
Essence ($7.95)?.

«+ Or Grilled Bass with

-coriander, basmati rice and

julienne of vegetables in
mango citrus. vinaigrette
($14.95) or Soya:Roasted

_ Spring Salmon-with Barley-

Mung Bean Risotto
($13.95)? _ .

Exotic stuff,to inspire a
vigorous log-rolling session.

The 10-hectolitre brewery
is overseen by. brewmaster
and ale pioneer John
Mitchell.

That’s right. The same
Mr. Mitchell who was instru-
mental in securing the
province’s first pub brewery
for the Troller in Horseshoe
Bay is the man behind. the
copper kettles at the Howe
Sound.

Brewery meets kitchen in
various of the Sound’s baked
products such as beer bread;
whici; employs the ales and
mash used by Mitchell in the
adjacent brewery. :
