Sourcing Sitka spruce tips that were harvested 10 minutes from their brewery, Dead Frog pays homage to Captain Cook’s arrival in Nootka Sound with this newly released ale. A great summer sipper that is far less scary than it’s name (it’s only slightly BIG), this beer pours golden with nice foam head and does have that pine aroma coming in from the tips and hops, along with citrus hints.

From our friends at House Wine…… One of our dear clients has introduced us to a breakthrough cancer research project, developed by B.C. scientists, that could revolutionize the treatment of cancer.

This is a once in a lifetime chance to try all the top wines from this iconic vintage at over 30 years of age. To highlight the wines appropriately, the team at Hawksworth will…

I have walked up 4th Avenue in Kitsilano hundreds of times and never noticed J Natural Spa before. There’s a signboard that I must have passed, but it’s tucked away on the upper level. I must have been tweeting or somehow focused on something else. Never mind, as I have found it now. SocialShopper put together a package that included a full body massage, herbal foot soak, eyebrow shape, 45 minute facial with their J Natural Spa products, a lip and eye treatment as well as mineral makeup and a bronzer and lip balm application. I hustled down to the…
The Chinese Moon Festival is on Monday, September 8 this year and until then The Urban Tea Merchant is serving up their Moon Festival Tea Service. Always a fan of afternoon tea at The Urban Tea Merchant, I was excited to mix it up a bit with the addition of Moon Cakes and a few extra Asian-influenced items on the platter. They’ve had to expand the seating into the shop in addition to the tea salon since the tea shop is often busy, but I like the ambiance of the salon, so parked myself there. Apparently the Moon Festival is one for families as well…
