Another sojourn to the CR meant our umpteenth revisit to @beachfirebrewing, where I grabbed a four-pack of my new brewery fave, Pollinator Honey Ale - now with added stylin’ Beach Fire headwear! But not before settling in for the ‘nosh’ part of the visit, when we enjoyed a trio of shareables: garlic mussels with shiitake mushrooms (delish!), basil risotto balls, and chicken quesadilla with house-made salsa and aioli drizzle - solid eats, as per usual! I chased mine with a pint of the citrus, oat malt zing, and touch of honey of the aforementioned Pollinator, while my companions enjoyed the bright and refreshing Flower Power Sour - and all was very good and well in Flavourville! #throwbackthursday #beachfirebrewing #beachfirebrewingandnoshhouse #pollinatorhoneyale #flowerpowersour #garlicmussels #risottoballs #chickenquesadilla #latergram (at Beach Fire Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClFoGcuLXXb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If we’re in the C.R., that must mean we paid yet another visit to @beachfirebrewing, where, before grabbing a split 4-pack pf Super Trendy Hazy IPA and Blueberry Lemon Sour Ale, I chowed on a Dave’s Warm Pretzel (traditional German rye bretzel, no less) with beer mustard, and a main of German Mac and Cheese with Bratwurst, with its awesome beer-cheddar sauce, all chased with the wonderful mango-pineapple flourish of the aforementioned Super Trendy Hazy!

‪Made our inevitable return to @beachfirebrewing, where I enjoyed the banana and clove meets toasted coconut and pulpy pineapple, all drawn together by a bready yeast bite, of Pina Colada Hefeweizen - while they had the classic summer refreshment of Beach Blonde Ale - followed by the crabapple, under-ripe Bing cherry, chestnut, mild oat malt bite, and bright and bitter lime zest finish of Cherry Lime Sour Ale, a collaboration with Comox’s @landandseabeer, and accompanied by chips and house-made salsa and a margarita pizza fresh from their relatively new wood fire oven. And all was well. #beachfirebrewingandnoshhouse #beachfirebrewing #pinacoladahefeweizen #cherrylimesourale #margaritapizza #woodfiredpizza (at Beach Fire Brewing and Nosh House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSD6VIRLY7L/?utm_medium=tumblr

Adventured our way to @beachfirebrewing for our semi-annual visit, where I not inly grabbed a howler of Road Trippin’ Raspberry Ale and a couple of cans of Beach Fire’s Tuesday Small Batch, Moscow Mule Blonde Ale. But not before we enjoyed a pint - mine the crisp lychee, hibiscus floral flourish and tart pink grapefruit end of Flower Power Sour, and theirs the effervescent wheat malt and citrus of Beach Blonde Ale - which was accompanied by their always-awesome charcuterie for three, followed by tasty hoisin BBQ pulled pork tacos. They all went surprisingly well together! Another successful Beach Fire brew and nosh run! #beachfirebrewing #beachfirebrewingandnoshhouse #roadtrippinraspberryale #moscowmuleblondeale #tuesdaysmallbatch #flowerpowersour #beachblondeale #charcuterie #charcuterieboard #hoisinbbqpulledpork #hoisinbbqpulledporktacos (at Beach Fire Brewing and Nosh House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFqi8Hmhswx/?igshid=z09524cqathl

Prior to departing from another @beachfirebrewing session, I grabbed a howler of the one beer I had not yet sampled from their regular menu. Sundog Apricot Hefeweizen not only has the usual hefe big notes of banana, clove spice, mild pink bubblegummy yeast and sourdough bread malt, but also a subtle dry apricot brightness towards the end. A great brew for such an appropriately, if not unexpectedly, sunny day! #beachfirebrewing #beachfirebrewingandnoshhouse #sundogapricothefeweizen (at Beach Fire Brewing and Nosh House) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4t7VPkhlOX/?igshid=q7txtynnce0m

Made our semi-annual @beachfirebrewing bisit, where I enjoyed the fennel sausage and braised red cabbage, chased with the classic citrus and grassy hop goodness of their best brew, High Tide Pale Ale. The gals had the creamy leek and parsnip soup amd both chased it with the refreshing Beach Blonde Ale. On the way out, I filled my howler with the inly beer on the regular menu which I had not yet tried, the Sundog Apricot Hefeweizen - pour pic to follow! #beachfirebrewingandnoshhouse #beachfirebrewing #hightidepaleale #fennelsausageandbraisedcabbage #beachblondeale #creamyleekandparsnipsoup (at Beach Fire Brewing and Nosh House) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4tVBIKBM59/?igshid=zkhknrlzsbeq

Made our semi-annual stop by @beachfirebrewing for beers and nosh, where I chowed on one of the best meatball sandwiches I ever had, filled with a dollop of marinara and melted three cheese goodness accompanied by delicious pork and beef meaty balls, served with a fresh garden salad with vinaigrette, and chased with the clove, prune, dark pitfruit funk, mild bourbon and subtle maraschino cherry sweetness of Beach Fire’s co-second anniversary collaboration with Chemainus’s @riotbrewingco, Tantrum Dubbel. Then I closed with the creamy, earthy rye malt of Nitro Red Ale. Cheers from the C.R.! #beachfirebrewing #beachfirebrewingandnoshhouse #riotbrewing #tantrumdubbel #nitroredale #meatballsandwich (at Beach Fire Brewing and Nosh House) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqGhM_XB37m/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gnsirye7c02d
