Hey, nobody asked us if we wanted lemon.<\/p>\nHey, nobody asked us if we wanted lemon.<\/p>\n
We had a couple of sample-size servings yesterday when we stopped for just a few minutes at Granville Island Brewing in Vancouver. (We were much more interested in exploring the market area.)<\/p>\n
And — because I’m paying attention to all things related to wheat beers these days — I’d filed this from Granville Island brewmaster Verne Lambourne when it appeared in Imbibe<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n “To me the beer has enough flavor without it,” he says. Customers at the brewery\u2019s Taproom, however, have the choice. “We do serve it with lemon, but we ask people if they have a preference. We get a lot of tourists from the States, and they\u2019ll definitely want a lemon. German tourists don\u2019t.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Our hefe arrived with no questions asked but one lemon slice included.<\/p>\n – Please, bar owners, brewpub operators and brewers who have a say in how your beer is served: Lose the shaker pint glasses.<\/strong> Want to get more hop character to come through? Then use glassware shaped to treat the aromatics better. And glass with less weight (yep, that means a few more will break). We had tumblers one place in Vancouver that were as heavy empty as most glasses are full.<\/p>\n – A beef about blogs, rather than beer. I hate<\/em> rss feeds that default to html. That means you can’t read them offline. We don’t see the Internet every day in our travels, and often in short spurts. I subscribe to a number of blogs via Thunderbird, with the idea I can collect them like email and read posts offline in the evening.<\/p>\n When a blog offers a text feed (like A Good Beer Blog<\/a> or Shut Up About Barclay Perkins<\/a>) I can do that. When it is html like Beer Examiner I cannot. I’m shedding those html subscriptions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey, nobody asked us if we wanted lemon.
