It’s not only Canadian Beer Day — it’s also BC Craft Beer Month!

To celebrate, a number of BC craft brewers have partnered with Destination British Columbia and BC Ale Trail to create a brewed-in-BC, made-with-BC-ingredients ale called the #ExploreBCIPA.

A cross-province collaboration among Vancouver Island Brewing, Red Collar Brewing Company, Wheelhouse Brewing Company, Fernie Brewing Co., Field House Brewing Co. and Bomber Brewing Company, the limited-edition brew is made with haskap berries and blackberries grown in Lumby and the Fraser Valley, hops from Abbotsford’s Bredenhof Hop Farms and locally malted grains from Armstrong’s Gambrinus Malting and is a true showcase of BC's agricultural bounty and brewing prowess.

This vote of confidence for dine-in service comes courtesy of Manhattan’s Douglas Mass, a mechanical engineer and ventilation specialist.

Mass is an advising member of a restaurant-safety panel convened by the Food & Society Program of The Aspen Institute and has been advocating extremely low-tech solutions to lower the risk of indoor dining in the age of COVID-19.

In a recent article by New York Times Restaurant Critic Pete Wells entitled ‘New York Dining is Moving Indoors. How Nervous Should You Be?’, Mass recommends placing movable partitions between tables to help block airborne particles ‘sent flying by a sneezer or loud talker’ and opening a window or door to let in fresh air.
