With winter coming to an end, your ability to get out into the world and visit breweries is about to dramatically increase. That’s why we’re glad that you’ve picked up a copy of The Growler, so that you can find a brewery that you haven’t been to yet and plan a road trip. Whether you’re headed to Parry Sound, Paris, Peterborough, or Petrolia, you’re going to find some pretty great beer to drink and a bunch of nice folks to drink it with.
This issue we’ve got David talking about getting non-beer drinkers to try beer, just in case you’re looking to convert your friends. We’ve got Santiago explaining the science behind the LUKR side pull tap that’s becoming more popular in breweries and bars across the province. We’ve got a double shot of Max, who’s been a very busy boy, traveling to B.C. and talking about the return of Dieu Du Ciel’s classic Péché Mortel.
As a one shot deal, we’ve replaced Brewer vs. Brewer with Brewer vs. Nature to highlight the rebuilding of The Second Wedge in Uxbridge. They’re launching their rebuilt facility on the May 24 weekend, and that’s going to be the party of the summer.
So get out there and explore the province. Me? I’m going to go lie down. Editing really takes it out of you. —Jordan St. John, editor
