What To Do in and Around Vancouver This Week<\/h2>\n

Drink – Strongbow\u2019s newly launched Ros\u00e9\u00a0Apple Cider<\/h3>\n

We’ve been sipping a few ciders this month and finding that Rose’s are becoming more popular. This latest offering from Strongbow is light pink in colour, with flavours of red apple, some white flower and berry notes. Medium-sweet, we like this one with grilled ribs. Why not try the PC Dry Rub Salt and Pepper\u00a0Pork Back Ribs?<\/p>\n
