a dish of cheese-stuffed prunes wrapped in bacon.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8003\/7613234092_88a0dd1c0d.jpg?resize=500%2C311\" alt=\"Vancouver Craft Beer Tour\" width=\"500\" height=\"311\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once again, the pairings were dead on. \u00a0I hadn&#8217;t had a Scotch Egg in ages and this one was delicious. \u00a0They&#8217;d made their own fennel sausage and wrapped it around the egg, coated it in panko, and deep fried it. The crisp Lost Coast Great White had hints of citrus and a yeasty touch, and it cut through the richness of the egg which was to be dipped in mayo for extra flavour. Driftwood Brewery&#8217;s White Bark Ale has coriander and orange peel added to the brew and this also played along with the fennel in the sausage; one of the bigger beers of the evening, Crannog Back Hand of God was the perfect complement to the rich Greer cheese stuffed prunes wrapped in bacon.\u00a0 The intensity would have overpowered a lesser beer.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8012\/7613238350_d3da3de396.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" alt=\"Vancouver Craft Beer Tour\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Out into the bright light of day again we ventured slightly south to our final venue. \u00a0This was a new one for me and I will certainly be back to try more than just the rich chocolate cake that we sampled. \u00a0The food menu here has plenty of sausages, some tasty sounding mains, and a vast selection of beer and beer cocktails.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8162\/7613236852_49edf9124a.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" alt=\"Vancouver Craft Beer Tour\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here we had the R and B Brewing Coffee Porter, a rich beer with obvious coffee notes, the Cascadia Brown Ale, a nutty and slightly bitter number, and Lighthouse Switchback IPA a hoppy IPA with some fruitiness. \u00a0I loved the Coffee Porter with the chocolate cake, but all beers worked well, and it was a great end to a tour that left me wanting nothing more that evening.<\/p>\n<p>The Craft Beer n&#8217; Bites is a fantastic way to experience a little part of Vancouver&#8217;s Craft Beer scene and get to know a little bit about the area itself. \u00a0A great night out at a reasonable price, and not one of those nights you&#8217;ll need to stop for a proper dinner on the way home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Monday to Sunday for $69 Vancouver Food Tours\u00a0offers a tour of\u00a0Gastown\u2019s craft beer scene\u00a0on their beer-centric culinary tour.
