Here are a list of
my favorites
Maharashtra, India - one must have a drinking permit.
Scotland - According to a law
in Scotland, "any Scotsman found to be wearing underwear beneath his kilt,
can be fined two cans of beer"
Western Australia - remember that crushing a can of beer
between your breasts, can land you in jail. No, this isn’t a joke. A bartender
(or barmaid, as they say in Australia) was arrested, tried, and fined for
flaunting her crushing talent.
Alaska, USA - No matter your reasons behind your logic you can't
serve any alcoholic drinks to a moose. Whether it be beer or not.
Florida, USA - In the state that is known to get
hurricanes the governor has the power to ban all alcohol sales during a state
of emergency.
Georgia, USA - If you want to get mixed messages
then this should confuse you quickly - If you drink in public that is
considered okay. But if you get drunk in public that is illegal.
Idaho, USA - If you are brewing a beer and put it into a keg, no
matter if you are a home brewer or not you need to make sure that you label the
beer. Because if you do not then you might get fined up to 1,000 dollars and
face up to 6 months in jail.
Michigan, USA- Usually this state does not have to many
drinking laws, you can drink until last call, which is at two in the morning
and take a small five hour break, then drink again at seven in the morning.
However, if it is during Christmas day then you need to wait until noon to
start drinking again.
Nebraska, USA - If you like soup and beer then this
is the state for you to visit on your next vacation. Because you can't sell
beer unless you have a kettle of soup being made at the time.
New Hampshire, USA - You can only be served an alcoholic drink
of your choice if you are sitting down, so that means no walking up to the bar
and ordering a pitcher of beer.
Enjoy your drink and be safe.
As a kid we always had an advent calendar. 
Some of our club had the pleasure of checking out North Vancouver’s craft brew scene. Very conveniently, these two breweries are located within a couple of blocks of each other. Bridges and Deep Cove Brewers.

I especially enjoyed Deep Cove
Brewery and Distillery. The atmosphere is happy and inviting, the staff
full of excitement and knowledge. And the room comfortable and
convivial. 
The décor here is simple, with a mix of natural wood and a bit of an industrial feel. Large tables so great for larger groups, and there is always a place to sit. 
Just off Main Street, you'll find past an apartment building along 7th street, the Main Street Brewing Company. The building was a former warehouse and they have kept the high ceiling and large windows. With a giant tasting room, there should always be a place to sit. Their growler filling station is next door, and also very large.
Did you know there is a Railtown in Vancouver? I don’t feel like much of a Vancouverite because
I didn’t know that, and I’ve lived here all my life! It is located East of
Gastown and North of Chinatown. It is mostly an industrial area, with great
funky coffee and sandwich shops in and around. And this is where you’ll find
Postmark.
At their opening, which I was lucky to attend, they had 2
beers available Red IPA, as well as Saison. Both were excellent and I recommend
a trip into Railtown to sample. By the
end of July they will have a Stout and a Hefe available. The Hefe is what I am
looking forward, described as a dry Bavarian style Weiss beer brewed with lemon
zest and local raspberries! 
I was excited to be invited to the opening of the birth of Dageraadbrewing next week so I was extra excited to see that I was able to buy their
beer in my local store, West Coast liquor.
A girlfriend and I had a pleasant evening at the Tap and
Barrel. To be honest it wasn’t my first
choice as I haven’t heard outstanding reviews. We picked the coal harbour location as it was
a middle meeting point on transit and found a table on their large patio without
any problems. They have set tables under giant umbrellas or communal seating up
top overlooking the seaplane. This is where we opted to sit. They have a large area so we had no trouble
finding a table with some space on a summer evening.
My choices were:
This is a pineapple wheat beer, from Tree Brewing in Kelowna BC.
A few weeks ago the gondola opened in Squamish, with mixed reviews about if this was a good thing to cut down trees and make it a tourist attraction, we put our views aside to check it out.
The trail starts off as the same trail as the Chief, so be prepared for a good 20 minute hike UP (like the grouse grind.) It then tapers off giving you a chance to catch your breath before heading up again, this time not quite so steep. 
We finally arrived to the top wet and dirty, after about 3 1/2 hours. There were no views that day, we could not even see across the suspension bridge. Not wanting to get a chill we bought our download ticket ($10 plus tax) and squeeze into the gondola (it holds 8) for the ride down.
Pot of Gold
If you are a fan of the flavored vodkas, this drink might be perfect for you. While it won’t have the consistency of your average smoothie, it will get pretty frothy when you shake it. If you like fruity drinks, you may have met your match.
Called Un, Kono Kuro, is made using coffee beans that have passed through an elephant.
